Cover art for Turn To Stone lyrics by Electric Light Orchestra

It's 1982, and I'm playing Dungeons and Dragons over at my friend Leon's house. My character got petrified (turned to stone) by a basilisk. Although the effect got reversed, I spent a good chunk of the game unable to do anything, so it was a frustrating evening. As I got into my car to drive home at the end of the night, this song (of course!) was on the radio...

That's hilarious, my ranger got petrified by a basilisk last year and I adopted this as his theme song on the walk home from that session! I wonder if there's a correlation between ELO and D&D...

@Kenobi65 This is a great story, but the fact that this comment is older than I am is wild to me. Love this tune haha
