During the interview, Lynne talks about his career as a producer, his relationships with other artists, and the newest Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) album Alone in the Universe. Stickley mentions that Lynne has “never really been a fan of playing live. I gusee it has to do with sound?” (Stickley) Lynne responses, “Being a producer, I’m probably tune in more than most of the audience to the way it (the music) sounds as a whole.” (Lynne) However, recently he has begun to enjoy playing live because of some of the advances in technology and equipment along with having a great band.
