Perhaps some of you are old enough to appreciate this. I have rediscovered ELO. I'm not kidding. They are like the Muppets of music for me. How can you listen to "It's a Livin' Thing" and not freaking smile? Or "Do Ya" ... it's like the happiest song on the planet.
And in Xanadu there's all the roller skating - that movie inspired me to ask for nothing but sparkly leg warmers for Christmas. I wore them to Rocky's Roller Skating Rink on Saturdays. Dang.
Re: ELO revival
I love, love, love Xanadu.
Today I rediscovered Alanis M's Jagged Little Pill. I listened to it all day.
ELO was a greatly underappreciated band.
Mr. Blue Sky, Sweet Talkin' Woman, Turn to Stone, and of course, Don't Bring Me Down..... now that's music to sing loudly in the car!
Thank goodness I'm not the only one.

Xanadu... Xanaduuuuuuu-oooh-oooh
LOVE that movie. Soooo cheesy. But Gene Kelly is in it and I love him.
And I loved the roller rink. And the Muppets. I'm a Muppet nut, actually.
