==Woozle recollects==<br />
I remember everyone in the audience being all excited and loud and standing up and stuff, and I just wanted to listen to the music and maybe sing along some.<br />
<br />
They mainly performed songs from ''[[wikipedia:Time (Electric Light Orchestra album)|Time]]'', and also they did a tribute to John Lennon who had [[wikipedia:Murder of John Lennon|been shot to death]] almost exactly a year earlier. I mainly remember feeling that the ELO treatment of "Across the Universe" worked particularly well.<br />
<br />
There are multiple scenes in my head from one or more England visits around this time, and I can't figure out if there were two visits or one, or which visit is which...<br />
* I'm walking around the neighborhood at my grandparents' house and I'm very depressed and I'm walking past a radio that's playing the song "{{l/wp|Waiting for a Girl Like You}}", but it's at the part where there's just this brief nonverbal kind of cry, and it seems to echo my mood completely<br />
* reading ''{{l/wp|Fungus the Bogeyman}}'' at my Aunt Judy's house, which I had heard of because of Paul McCartney's song "Bogey Music" (see ''{{l/wp|McCartney II}}'')<br />
* meeting Emma, the daughter of one of Dad's old friends (maybe a year or two younger than me?), as an adolescent for the first time, at her grandmother's(?) mansion, and keenly envying her figure (she apparently later said I was "very American")<br />
* my cousins telling me about {{l/wp|Tears for Fears}}, who I had never heard of<br />
* staying in The Old Post Office, Egton (if that was Aunt Judy's household at the time, then the Bogeyman memory has to be from a different visit, because the layout I remember was different for that)<br />
** ...and seeing the music video for {{l/wp|The Voice (Ultravox song)}} on the TV ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaRXdqe_JPQ this one]; I didn't know about [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXyxsp5zlCo this one])<br />
*** That song hit the US some months later, in time for me to get Jessica a copy for Christmas, I think? We both agreed that we liked it. (IIRC I got her a 12" EP with 3 other songs on it, all of which were listenable; I have it now.)<br />
