ELObsessive said:Very well deserved :-) And one in the eye for the increasingly ludicrous Jan Wenner, who for years has stopped Jeff Lynne/ELO from going in to the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, along with many other talented artists and bands. It's great to see that Jeff's amazing talent is finally being more widely recognised. Thanks muchly for posting this story, Vikki :-)
