unusual facts about Jeff Lynne



Paradigms of Human Memory

At the end of Jeff's speech, Troy interjects to compare the group to The Traveling Wilburys, a former rock supergroup composed of Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, George Harrison (of The Beatles), Jeff Lynne (of Electric Light Orchestra), and Roy Orbison, with Jim Keltner on drums.

Roy Wood's Helicopters

The band was only used to play live shows (playing mainly songs Wood composed for The Move) and Wizzard, plus some of his solo singles and Jeff Lynne's "10538 Overture".

Secret Messages

This was Jeff Lynne's second tongue-in-cheek response to allegations of hidden Satanic messages in earlier Electric Light Orchestra LPs by Christian fundamentalists which led up to early 1980s American congressional hearings (a similar response had been made by Lynne on the Face the Music album, during the intro to the "Fire on High" track).
