THE TRAVELING WILBURYS

Velho, chato, saudosista, podem dizer o que quiserem. Pra mim não existe, hoje, nenhum grupo de rock que mereça muita atenção.
Talvez o último tenha sido esse, formado por George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty e Jeff Lynne (turminha fraca...). Meio por acaso ou por causa do George Harrison, como vocês podem ver no texto abaixo, cujo não me atrevo a traduzir.
Estavam fazendo turnê e o Roy Orbison cometeu a falta de educação de morrer.
Aí acabou. Muita sacanagem...

1988-1990
… Once the idea of a full, collaborative album was in front of us, George took over. The five frontmen (Harrison, Lynne, Petty, Dylan, and Orbison) decided not to use their own names. George and Jeff had been calling studio equipment (limiters, equalizers) "wilburys." So first they named their fivesome The Trembling Wilburys. Jeff suggested "Traveling" instead. Everyone agreed.

The group was born: five guys with star stature in their own rights, but it was George who created this Wilbury environment where five stars could enjoy an ego-free collaboration. Everybody sang, everybody wrote, everybody produced - and had great fun doing so.

You can hear George's humility and good nature reflected in the Wilburys and their music. To my thinking, this was a perfect collaboration. All five were good friends who admired and respected one another. Roy Orbison was somebody they all idolized. Of course, they revered Bob Dylan too. But Bob was closer to being their contemporary, so it was Roy who gave the project that special glow from rock 'n' roll's early formative years.
