Love ELO - Thanks!
BTW: I think George Harrison was a Traveling Wilbury too, right?

Eldorado is always loaded in the CD player in my car.
A great Prog/Rock band.

EALO was my favorite band from my youth and one that hardly anyone now seems to remember.
Fire On High was one of my favorites. Most people know it as the intro to Wide World of Sports when the ski jumper crashed.

Their last big hit was "Hold on Tight to Your Dreams," which shows up in commercials every now and then. Lynne also helped produce George Harrison's "I've Got My Mind Set on You" and Roy Orbinson's "You Got It."
Though Lynne denies it, some interpret "Livin' Thing" as an anti-abortion song. I think people should read the lyrics and judge for themselves.
And lastly, here is my favorite version of "Don't Bring Me Down."

thanks, I loved their music
To: Reaganite Republican
I saw them at the Meier Music Bowl (Melbourne Australia) in 1978. They played for 4 1/2 hours and it was by far the best concert I have ever seen.

It’s actually a German word that starts with a “G”, and is a greeting used by the people living in the area where Jeff Lynne wrote the song.

I bought the album when it was new. It came with the lyrics in the jacket. It clearly reads Bruce don’t let me down.
