Nobody on here could possibly be MORE of a music fan than I. Also a huge T. Wilbury fan (as well as Harrison, Dylan and Petty). You guys are quite free to espound on your musical tastes and dislikes......... I read them after all, and see nothing wrong with music OPINIONS.
BUT, when making statements, you need to keep it correct/factual or expect to get called out if you state something false. There are other music fanatics reading (me, for just one) and music is a passionate subject for many of us.
I make no apologies for calling Dino out on Bullsh*t, musically. He's done it before and I called him out then and got redlined repeatedly for just that--------making him look bad for a bullsh*t statement-----------he's thin skinned and NOT that knowledgable musically IMO!
An example of such bullsh*t is Freddie Mercury in the Wilburys. That's complete insanity!!
NONE of them would have wanted him anywhere near that project.
And, yes, it was primarily George's idea. He had the basic idea and voiced it to Lynne during the Cloud 9 "sessions".
Petty has "recalled" them inviting him to join and then going to Dylan's house to ask him. They then went to an Orbison show to talk with him before the gig. It's all very public info.
That's WHY you should (be able to) get it right.
End of story.
