Wonderboy...get over yourself...you're talking total and utter bollocks. Sounds like you have a deep suspicion (and envy) of anyone who doesn't have to play their greatest hits every single night on a fancy stage; unlike some other so-called "artists" that come to mind. You know, the ones who people go to see just to tick a box or because they feel nostalgic. Springsteen

There was a time when ELO became so uncool that the mere mention of their name would bring about disdainful remarks from anyone within earshot. In hindsight however, it's fair to say that they were responsible for some of the most innovative pop music of the seventies. The Travelling Wilburys were their legacy.

QuoteKoen Doesn't TNJ also mention in that interview that he showed all these Stones' open G riffs on a banjo to a 'traditional' banjo player, and he was very impressed. It's a long time ago since I read it, so I could be wrong. ...but he drew a line at presenting the technique to chronically bored, mentally retarded, unemployable gardeners with more time on their hand

Quoteskipstone I said "invented", not "imagined". Big difference. Some people might be or are convinced that they think Keith invented open G 5 string tuning because they've imagined it. Innovation is all about imagination. And you can't get THAT from Wikipaedia.
