Remember the Electric Light Orchestra

Anyone on this forum remember ELO? I have all of their original albums from the 70's and 80's but they are starting to show a little wear from play... Wonder why they have not re-released their best work on good quality, heavy duty vinyl? Seriously, Jeff Lynne is a bona fide musical genius.

I'm ready to re-buy all their albums!

ELO founding memmer(and Cellist) Mike Edwards was killed Friday in a freak accident. A 900 lb bale of hay rolled down a hill, jumped a 15 ft ledge, and fell onto his van as he was driving by, killing him instantly

What were the odds of that tragic accident happening?

There's no escaping the bale of hay?

He was just driving down a country road (B road) with hedges (I assume) on either side, that would have obscured his view, I mean those country lanes are usually only wide enough for one vehicle, the last thing one is looking at is the hedges on each side looking out for wayward hay bales.
I think I read that the bale of hay crashed through the hedge.
Poor chap indeed.
