Well, it's all right, riding around in the breeze
Well, it's all right, if you live the life you please
Well, it's all right, doing the best you can
Well, it's all right, as long as you lend a hand
You can sit around and wait for the phone to ring ''(At the end of the line)''
Waiting for someone to tell you everything ''(At the end of the line)''
Sit around and wonder what tomorrow will bring ''(At the end of the line)''
Maybe a diamond ring
Well, it's all right, even if they say you're wrong
Well, it's all right, sometimes you gotta be strong
Well, it's all right, as long as you got somewhere to lay
Well, it's all right, every day is Judgment Day
Maybe somewhere down the road aways ''(At the end of the line)''
You'll think of me and wonder where I am these days ''(At the end of the line)''
Maybe somewhere down the road when somebody plays ''(At the end of the line)''
[[The Jimi Hendrix Experience:Purple Haze|Purple Haze]]
Well, it's all right, even when push comes to shove
Well, it's all right, if you got someone to love
Well, it's all right, everything'll work out fine
Well, it's all right, we're going to the end of the line
Don't have to be ashamed of the car I drive ''(At the end of the line)''
I'm just glad to be here, happy to be alive ''(At the end of the line)''
It don't matter if you're by my side ''(At the end of the line)''
I'm satisfied
Well, it's all right, even if you're old and gray
Well, it's all right, you still got something to say
Well, it's all right, remember to live and let live
Well, it's all right, the best you can do is forgive
Well, it's all right ''(all right)'', riding around on the breeze
Well, it's all right ''(all right)'', if you live the life you please
Well, it's all right, even if the sun don't shine
Well, it's all right ''(all right)'', we're going to the end of the line

This song will never not make me smile 
Anglo-American cooperation - Love that Bob Dylan and George Harrison got to work together

Surely they just felt like doing something easy and fun to get them out of the house, and good for them. I like the music made by all of these guys, but never found any Wilbury's track to be anything but throwaway silliness.
This won't be popular but the Wilburys are a case of where the parts are greater than the whole. Not a criticism, just an observation. Does anyone actually prefer the Wilbuys to each artist in the groups individual artistic efforts? For me, I don't. It's like the artists' endeavors are diluted and compromised by each other. Don't get me wrong. I still listen and enjoy them. Just for me, I preferred each artists' prior work more.

This is such a great song. I love the way they arrange the vocals, with Tom singing the verses and the choruses shared by George, Jeff, and Roy. It always makes me a little sad at the end when George wraps it up – it reminds me that he, Tom, and Roy are no longer with us.
Only Bob and Jeff left 
RIP Roy, George and Tom. Legends one and all
RIP Roy, George and Tom. Legends one and allAn absolute epic masterpiece!
None of the last 100 songs, including this one, didn't reach an 8. Maybe some people listening picked the wrong station!
Love hearing all these voices together. Sounds better than ever in 2023.
Just bizarre to think that Roy Orbison's been dead for 35 years.
Just realised I've been singing the wrong lyric for the last 30 odd years. I thought it was 'Well it's alright as long as you've got someone to lay"
Pure craftsmanship
Bumped from a 9 to 10
This is great music by great musicians.

Roy's voice is the best

This reminds me of Dennis Waterman's theme tune to BBC's New Tricks.

Travelling Wilburys was one of the CD's I won, along with a portable CD/Tape deck, in a radio competition. (back in 1988 of course)
It was without doubt, the best of the 10 CD's I got.
The CD/Tape deck was destroyed when my brother put it on the roof of his VW Beetle and drove off, forgetting it was there.
Good times.
This is one of the few times where I think a dancing, guitar playing banana is appropriate:

Bill knows he can goose a good song's rating by putting it after meandering nonsense like Death Cab for Cutie. Also, this is just great.

I really enjoy this piece (the video is especially good), but the idea that this music was made thirty years ago is just ... depressing.

Thanks RP.
The real thing.
Inspires so much joy!!
Too late now, of course, but for a while I thought it would’ve been *chef’s kiss* perfect to have brought in Randy Newman when Orbison died.
BTW: if you ever see someone traveling down the road with the license plate WILBURY, wave at me.

Been watching "New Tricks". Theme gives the nod to this
Oh man I love Wikipedia, and now I love the Wilburys even more:
"The five musicians also bonded over a shared appreciation of the English comedy troupe Monty Python.[22] Harrison, who had worked with the members of Monty Python on various productions by his company HandMade Films since the late 1970s, particularly appreciated Orbison's gift for impersonation and his ability to recite entire sketches by the troupe."

Mark Knopfler did a similar thing with the Notting Hillbillies. Whether the collective result trancends any individual peak depends on how much a fan you are of the individuals.

How dare you skip a Beatles tune! Heathen!
It's kind of odd that I really like this song. I am a fan of really only Roy Orbison. I can acknowledge the greatness of all of them individually, but I PSD every Tom Petty song (I've just heard enough of him to not want to hear any more) and almost every Beatles-related tune (same deal), skip past a good chunk of Dylan's performances (sometimes the voice is too much), and have no interest, good or bad, about anything from ELO. This song & much of the album just works, and it doesn't have to make sense logically to do that.

Nice that every time you play a Wilburys track you are doing a triple tribute. Bless them all. George, Roy and now Tom. Love them all !

That was just the tonic needed to kick into this day. Yesterday in the Great 'Merican Sh*t Show was one for the history books, and even though we've gotten acclimated to the Great 'Merican Sh*t Show by now, yesterday had its own unique and rather cruel and brutal edge to it, or so it seemed to me as Julian Assange but more to Ted Kaczynski now got hauled off to the nearest pokey. Strange times indeed. And don't we love 'em?! I'm sure in for full on fascination. But yeah, today's got to be a whole different vibe and attitude. Too much of those kinda yesterdays, well...
Never really got that.... sorry
I love how humble Jeff Lynne is about this whole enterprise.

I'm surprised at some of the (negative) comments - considering the story behind this "band" and especially the Jimi Hendrix reference, not to mention the awesome tribute to Ray O in the video with an empty (and rocking) rocking chair with his guitar in it. I don't know, I really like the grove, all the musicians, etc. It's a 9 for me. Peace, Love and RnR - in whatever order!

Some songs are a sprint, but this is a leisurely stroll enjoying the time.
No power lifting, no shrieking, no twerking, no rapping.
Extraordinary songwriters enjoying their place in the world. What a great time.

Not sure for the hate here, I like it. Musicians getting together and having a good time, nothing wrong with that, just wish Roy was around longer so we could've gotten more from them.
annoying.

I too miss Roy and George.
A bunch of has beens singing a very mediocre song. And this appears to be the best they did since it's the only one that ever gets played.

And now RP sends DeVotchKa... Same vein, not likely to ever be paired by any other Robot-Radio playing an ever shrinking array of "MY" music... RP has opened my ears to new artists, sounds and I have added a few hundred CDs to my collection... Yep, Boomer Style, buying full album vs. singles...
Point of this ramble: 1) End of Line is speaking to me today. 2) I love Radio Paradise and tell -all- I meet about the unique value I find. 3) I wish all who listen would spread the word and build the listener base.

One day in I was in Santa Cruz and two guys came out of a store carrying a ladder and singing this song. It was magical. Love this and love the Wilburys!!

Always reminds me of getting set up in Shizuoka, my first stint in Japan, hanging with Tony B from Cali, drinking sake & beer and girl-watching, jamming to this and thinking, Wow, the old rockers were really having fun making this one — &they sure hit it out of the park!
Petty went the full Dylan after the Wilburys. Before he favored Bob(in the Nashville Skyline days, especially) ... after it was like Bob was using Tom's voice.
Lately he is back the the old Tom.

Wow. This song sure stirs folks' blood. My band tried to do this one. The lead guitarist fought us like crazy. First, the drummer couldn't keep time. Next, the bass player (that would be me) couldn't keep time. Then our singer and rhythm guitarist couldn't keep time. Turned out that he had the image of the empty rocking chair from the video in his head, and couldn't abide doing a song about a dead, er, rocker. After too many abortive attempts, we gave it up. Still did "Handle With Care." The drummer sang Orbison's parts and did quite well. We even managed to keep the time.

Great follow on from the Beatles when I'm 64, but for me the Wilburys don't quite hit the spot. Such an amazing mix of musicians, maybe too much of a good thing?

I love everything about the Wilbury's & sad there's no more...just miss Roy & George.
Love the playful diversity, but have seen here how many folks don't care for them…the ole different strokes philosophy

Ah, the Traveling Horde of Rhythm Guitarists. : )
I was actually just playing this song a few hours ago on my 20+ year old Stratocaster. It was one of the first songs I learned after I got it.

One day in I was in Santa Cruz and two guys came out of a store carrying a ladder and singing this song. It was magical. Love this and love the Wilburys!!
Dying to see these guys on tour. . .
Really looking forward to the day this is no longer in ANY rotation.... Blahhhh
This album is one of my all time favorites. What an awesome collaboration between Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeffrey Lynne, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty. It's allllllllllllllllright!
Great succession of songs tonight while I have to work on a Saturday evening.
This is the most disappointing group ever, "Superstar" or otherwise. Tedium and tediummer.

If Lynn was not there, likely would not have been any album
this could have been a truly GREAT album - if not for Jeff Lynne's insistence on making everything in the world sound like ELO. You have on one hand, arguably, three of the top ten most influential artists from the sixties plus tom petty and jeff lynne and he somehow still made it sound like ELO. what a waste of talent.....

Oh yes, Dylan, Harrison, Lynne, Orbison and Petty haven't sold anything. As a matter of fact, it is doubtful most people have even heard of these quirky, indie guys.
And I might be wrong, but I am pretty sure Harrison was in the Beatles.
and Roy was just a very small god....

Yeah, I did stress honesty in my post...but also…maybe thicker skin, a sense of humor and irony, instead of always looking for reasons to express self-righteous indignation? If everyone followed all the rules and prohibitions expressed here about what is not civil, then no one would post anything.

Curious rating from you, maybe. Because most all your high rating are for bands/artists that sold stratospheric amounts of records (U2, Beatles, Radiohead, Grateful Dead) and your poor ratings are reserved for quirky, introspective, quieter sorts.

Maybe somewhere down the road aways
You'll think of me, wonder where I am these days
Maybe somewhere down the road...when somebody plays
Purple Haze
Ha! Great lines, there!

The online disinhibition effect...
While online, some people self-disclose or act out more frequently or intensely than they would in person. This article explores six factors that interact with each other in creating this online disinhibition effect: dissociative anonymity, invisibility, asynchronicity, solipsistic introjection, dissociative imagination, and minimization of authority. Personality variables also will influence the extent of this disinhibition. Rather than thinking of disinhibition as the revealing of an underlying "true self," we can conceptualize it as a shift to a constellation within self-structure, involving clusters of affect and cognition that differ from the in-person constellation.

This music really stands up to the passing of time so well.
I always get a little chill when I hear Roy's part, and hearing George singing with a bunch of his mates is really sweet. These guys were so good together!
Thanks for throwing this in the mix, Bill and Rebecca.

Another one for my funeral playlist, music helps heal grief, and this one hits the right notes!
Mine, too. The way it's going, people are going to have to camp out overnight to hear my whole list.
