- Has worn sunglasses indoors and out since the mid-1970s
- More often than not sports a beard
- Frizzly reddish-brown hair.
- Teamed up with Bob Dylan, Beatle George Harrison, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty in the group The Traveling Wilburys.
- Began Electric Light Orchestra with Roy Wood as a side-project to their band The Move; the side-project soon eclipsed the main one, and The Move disbanded.
- Transformed his Los Angeles home into a housewide recording studio, with patch bays in every room; used this extensively in making his latest album, the reconstituted Electric Light Orchestra's "Zoom" (2001).
- Began his musical ventures with an old two-track tape recorder in his parents' living room; Lynne would sometimes overlay so many parts the oxide would wear off the tape.
- Actually worked sparsely with Electric Light Orchestra in the recording studio; band members would learn Lynne's new songs just prior to recording, and usually would hear them next on the radio... shortly before tour rehearsals began. Live recordings of Electric Light Orchestra tend to reflect a rawer sound than their highly-polished studio work, though in performance the accompanying light-show and theatrics well made up for it.
