Video of Tom’s speech will certainly be available later, but until then he can be heard today at 1 PM ET, wearing his DJ cap on Boss Radio 66.
Here’s a convenient player to use.

Tom’s return to his DJ identity on Boss Radio 66 has been rescheduled from this Tuesday, to Thursday at 1 PM EDT.
I thought the Delgados had broken up, but here they are, performing live a few months ago. Anyone who likes ELO has to appreciate this.
