There is a story of a boy in England, whose mother found a drawer full of cash. She asked him, "Where did all this money come from?", quite astonished.
He replied, "I earned it. I'm and artist".
As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
I study music, and am fascinated by the geometry and math of it. That is how I hear music. Someone who is the greatest artist in music and overlooked and that bothers me is:
Most of you probably do not even recognize the name. He has produced 50 million record sales and hits across the globe. If I said ELO or Electric Light Orchestra, you would think you may know Jeff Lynne. The reality is, he is ELO. He plays everything, he engineers everything, he writes everything.
George Harrison, Ringo Star, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, are just a few of the people Jeff Lynne has written and produced for. He once said he liked being the person behind the scenes in American number one hits, and people never knew it.
You may recognize a few of these 50 hits not from ELO.
Got My Mind Set On You - George Harrison
Let It Shine - Brian Wilson
You Got Us - Roy Orbison
Walk Away - Del Shannon
I Won't Back Down - Tom Petty
Runnin' Down A Dream - Tom Petty
Free Fallin' -Tom Petty
Yer So Bad - Tom Petty
Learnin' To Fly - Tom Petty
Into The Great Wide Open - Tom Petty
Free As A Bird - The Beatles
His Mum wanted him at 15 to get a job as a cameraman at the television station where she worked. He said, "I don't want to be a bloody cameraman. I play guitar".
His Mum replied, "That will never work. You will get a job and get a pension".
Thank God that Jeff Lynne became who is he, the greatest artist in Rock who has ever appeared.
I study Mr. Lynne's work and marvel at him. I marvel at watching him engineer a song in adding bits to it. The amusing part is in Don't Bring Me Down, the name Bruce appears which is not Bruce. It is a German word instead. The reason it is there is Jeff Lynne was producing the song and needed a cut off to mark the segment, so he sang that word. It sounded so good that he just left it in.
That is God Inspired as everything this man was joined to was blessed.
