Heh! I was thinking he was pondering what order to sue them all in, some time soon

Agree with you completely. We can see it in The Big Night and Fusion concert videos. That was part of what made ELO really unique in the mid to late 70s (though the exploding orange/cello earlier was pretty cool too). But years down the road the dear leader of ELO would dismiss the celloists by saying that they danced around more than they played.

It was the cellists who played a big part in making the band what it was, Jeff should never forget that...

You know, I've never seen footage of Mike Edwards' famous exploding orange (or was it a grapefruit?). I've read a lot about it, but never seen it.

The best therapy for any problem you might have is playing music with friends.

That really is tenuous! Whats your theory regarding the Time chair then?

It’s a 1980s style egg chair smileys-whistling-823718

How much did you drink that night?
