Coming to the Grammy Museum:
REEL TO REEL: MR. BLUE SKY: THE STORY OF JEFF LYNNE AND ELO
THIS PROGRAM IS SOLD OUT
Wednesday, September 12, 2012; 7:30pm
As the creative force behind Electric Light Orchestra and a singularly accomplished singer, songwriter, guitarist and producer, Jeff Lynne is one of rock's most iconic—yet mysterious—figures. Please join us as we help celebrate his return to make some new waves and shed a little electric light with a screening of Lynne's illuminating and entertaining documentary, Mr. Blue Sky: The Story of Jeff Lynne and ELO. Not just your standard "rock doc," it's also a mystery movie that, once and for all, explains: who is this man, Jeff Lynne, and how has he had such a tremendous musical influence on our world? The answer—as told by Lynne himself and such distinguished collaborators and friends of Jeff as Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Tom Petty, Joe Walsh, Olivia and Dhani Harrison, Barbara Orbison and Eric Idle —is that Lynne is a true man of music for whom the recording studio is his greatest instrument. After the screening, Lynne will participate in a discussion about the film, moderated by Vice President of the GRAMMY Foundation and MusiCares, Scott Goldman, and will take audience questions.

Wow, I wish I could be there!
It would wonderful if they could include the live interview on the final dvd release as an extra.
Glad I had plenty of time to make plans to go buy a ticket.
How much were tickets anyway?
So I am now wondering, will the 55th Annual Grammy Awards in February of 2013 honor Electric Light Orchestra or Jeff Lynne with a Lifetime Achievement or "Living" Legend Award...
Don't let your imagination run wild with that thought.
