I was never a huge ELO fan, I think I got tired of hearing them because they were all over the radio when I was a kid. Now that I'm pushing 60 I realize how good they are/were.

Yeah, people don't appreciate what they have until they lose it. I remember those days me arguing and defending bands like Queen, ELO and Supertramp, and now those who didn't like those bands now decided to like it.

Back in those days planes like the 747 had a handful of "radio stations" (really just tape loops of hit songs) that you could listen to with silly earphones which were just long tubes you stuck in your ears. When I flew to Hawaii in November of 1977 I would rock out to this song over and over every time the tape loop got to it.
