E.L.O. or Electric Light Orchestra is essentially Jeff Lynne. The band may have written the soundtrack for Gene Kelly’s worst movie and Olivia Newton John’s best movie, Xanadu, but there’s much more than that.

Then out of nowhere came the massive parade featuring a huge bust of Michael Jackson, led by Klu Klux Klansmen donning red hoods and matching outfits.
