I'm betting the stress of dealing with a teenager probably had something to do with it.
If anything, dealing with a teenager makes you want to eat MORE.
I'm very proud of my wife. She lost the weight the hard way--no surgery, no drugs--just counting calories and an exercise regimen.
ELO, aka the Electric Light Orchestra. Famed for incorporating full symphonic arrangements into pop music (a la late period Beatles). Top forty hits included: Strange Magic, Evil Woman, Roll Over Beethoven, Don't Bring Me Down, Telephone Line, Mr. Blue Sky and many, many others.
ELO was one of my favorite groups when I was a teenager. Yes, I knew they were a little corny, but everything in their prime period (1973-1980) was pure delicious ear candy.
This was ELO's farewell tour. Jeff Lynne (singer/songwriter/guitarist) is in his late 70s, and he can't quite hit the tough notes anymore, but his backup band picked up any slack. They played the hits in full panoramic ELO style. When they started up the band's first single (1971's "10538 Overture"), I swear there was a tear in my eye.
I'll do a deep dive into the Brooklyn concert in my next post....
