the traveling wilburys, or how george harrison spent his summer vacation written by dave on 11/22/06
i’m not going to bother you with a lot of commentary. you can see here a ramshackle warehouse somewhere in the middle of nowhere, usa. inside, tucked between the beams of light that pour through the holes in the walls, you will find a microphone. and around that microphone, you will find five men…
you will see jeff lynne from electric light orchestra. you will see tom petty. you’ll see roy orbison, bob dylan, and george harrison. and they’re just hanging out and throwing a quick jingle together.
the year was 1988 and we were but one pink floyd short of the apocalypse. had david gilmour and roger waters been in the room, i wouldn’t have to work a day job now. i would’nt have to worry about tsunamis, terror, or global warming killing off polar bears. i wouldn’t have had to watch my childhood die with the release of the shitty american godzilla. thanks a lot, you self-righteous british assholes.
