A friend of mine was once in an ELO cover band, in which all the members sang lead vocals. They had a floppy wig and sunglasses, and whichever member was singing would wear the Jeff Lynne headgear. Unfortunately I never saw them; moreover, relative to the rest of the world the magnificent ELO has been a criminally new discovery for me after years of dubbing Lynne "The Other Traveling Wilbury", short shrift if there ever has been.

Better late than never, though. Enjoy "The Diary of Horace Wimp", especially the twist at the end.
