So, anyway.
Around 1970, Jeff Lynne and Roy Wood were both and each simultaneously leading both The Electric Light Orchestra and The Move. (Spoiler: it didn't end great.)
BUT, the story goes that usually their horn songs went to The Move while the tunes that wanted strings usually went to the young ELO.
And, honestly, it was a little miraculous for a while.
Obligatory.
"What Roy Wood Was Capable Of"
This is from last night.
When he escorted a young lady to his second prom this year.
Whatever.
He taught two (2) SAT prep classes this morning.
Then he walked to the mall and found two (2) really thoughtful Mother's Day presents.
Like I fucking care.
In summary, sometimes it's hard to know where a given thread will go.
