Congratulations Brewers from this Chicago Cubs and White Sox fan on ending your 57-year drought, dating back to 1969.

Last time Milwaukee won a World Series was in 1957, 69 years ago with the Braves.

Too bad Bob Uecker wasn't here to enjoy it.

Nice logo. 😎

@tooninwithmetv What happened to @kcandsunshineb?! I didn't see them.

@JeffLynnesELO Hard to believe that it's been 40 years since 1986 for Balance of Power.

I like all of 'em, plus bonus tracks from its 2007 remastered CD. 😎

[Rick Vendl II (Ricky) @TrekkiELO]

@JeffLynnesELO You didn't include an mp3 digital download like what was done on Time, Out of the Blue, A New World Record and Secret Messages in 2017-2018, so it's a hard pass for me.

Get well soon Jeff Lynne.

[Rick Vendl II (Ricky) @TrekkiELO]

Prayers for Jeff Lynne. 🙏

Favorite tracks from Armchair Theatre are Every Little Thing, Lift Me Up, What Would It Take and Blown Away. 😎

35 years ago, Jeff Lynne dropped his first solo album, and it’s still pure magic! ✨ From iconic melodies to timeless brilliance, this one’s a classic. What’s your favorite track from the album? Drop it in the comments! 👇

@JeffLynnesELO Hold on Tight 😎

[Rick Vendl II (Ricky) @TrekkiELO]

@JeffLynnesELO @AppleMusic There goes my dream of Hold on Tight being played, unless it's a one-off, can't believe Jeff Lynne won't play it as he hasn't done so since 1986!

@CBSSunday RIP Richard Tandy of Electric Light Orchestra. 😢

@rockhall The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame cropped their photo of Richard Tandy from Electric Light Orchestra's 1981 album Time. 😎

A prominent feature of the Electric Light Orchestra "Daybreaker" arrangement was Richard Tandy playing arpeggios on a Minimoog synthesizer.

It will be 50 years ago this Saturday, 5/4/1974, that Daybreaker entered the Billboard Hot 100 at #95! 😎

#87 Pop

[Jeff Lynne's ELO @JeffLynnesELO]

It is with great sadness that I share the news of the passing of my long-time collaborator and dear friend Richard Tandy. He was a remarkable musician & friend and I’ll cherish the lifetime of memories we had together.
Sending all my love to Sheila & the Tandy family.
Jeff Lynne

@JeffLynnesELO It says Electric Light Orchestra, not Jeff Lynne's ELO! 🤬

After hearing Hold On Tight on @AmericanTop40 around August 1981 while with family near Ventura, California, a US 101 road trip to Santa Barbara's Mission when I was just 8 years old, Dad bought me my 1st Electric Light Orchestra album, an audio cassette of Time @TowerRecords! 😎

[Jeff Lynne's ELO @JeffLynnesELO]

Accroche-toi à ton rêve! “Hold On Tight,” released this week in 1981, was recorded at Musicland Studios in Munich, Germany. With a 50’s spin, this song charted #1 in Germany, 10 in the US, and 4 in the UK Who remembers the first time they heard this one?! 🎸💫
