Out of the Blue

Mike Edwards, a cellist with the 1970s British pop group Electric Light Orchestra, was killed instantly when a 1,300-pound bale of hay crushed the van he was driving in Devon, England, on Sept. 3. The bale apparently fell from a piece of farm equipment and rolled onto the highway. From this description and the weight, I'm guessing it was one of those big round ones that we see every day in pastures around here. Police are calling it a freak farm accident.
ELO was immensely popular during my college days with songs like "Strange Magic," "Evil Woman," "Fire on High," "Turn to Stone," "Last Train to London" and "Can't Get It Out of My Head."
