#Traveling Willburys

[mannytoodope]

George Harrison (25 February 1943 – 29 November 2001)was a musician, singer-songwriter, and film producer. He is best known for being the lead guitarist of the Beatles. He would often be referred to as the “ quiet Beatle.” Various blues and early rock and roll artists heavily influenced Harrison and the rest of the Beatles. But, after some time in India, Harrison was influenced and embraced Indian music, culture, and religion, which helped broaden the scope of the band’s music. Harrison also contributed to songwriting for the band. The songs he wrote include “ Taxman,” While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” and one of my favorites, “ Here Comes the Sun.”He was one of the first members of the groups looking to work on his music and branch out to new and different sounds. He briefly left the group while recording the album Let I Be. but he came after much convincing from the other three. After the Beatles parted ways, Harrison released several best-selling singles and albums. In 1971, he helped organize a Concert for Bangladesh with the help of Indian musician and mentor Ravi Shankar. He was a producer assisting many artists on the Beatles’ record label Apple. He co-founded the supergroup The Traveling Wilburys. 1988. He collaborated with several artists, including his former bandmates Ringo Starr, Billy Preston, Eric Clapton, and Tom Petty, most notably Ravi Shankar. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame once as a member of the Beatles in 1988 and posthumously for his solo career in 2004; he is ranked 11th on Rolling Stone magazine’s 100 greatest guitarists. Harrison also served as a music and film producer. He founded Dark Horse Records in 1974 and co-founded HandMade Films In 1978. He even appeared as himself on one of my favorite episodes of The Simpsons. Harrison is still a significant influence on many artists. He was one of the unique Beatles.

Why do people ask whether you “like covers or original songs more??” As if that’s a normal question that doesn’t depend specifically on each individual song???

This morning, I’ve been reflecting on one of my favourite songs from 2023; and I have Thoughts.

Ahem.

Tweeter and the Monkeyman were hard up for cash;

they stayed up all night selling cocaine and hash.

As one does.

…to an undercover cop, who had a sister named Jan.

Well, that’s unfortunate.

For reasons unexplained, she loved the Monkeyman.

Ah, straight romance. Who can explain it?

…did she never introduce him to her brother, though?

The undercover cop never liked the Monkeyman;

even back in high school wanted to see him in the can.

Oh, so they did know each other; did the Monkeyman somehow not know he was a cop? Seems like a pretty big thing to just miss.

Jan got married at 14 to a racketeer named Bill;

Yikes.

made secret plans with the Monkeyman from a mansion on a hill.

Jesus christ. I take it back, this is an entirely understandable straight romance. Jan is in love with the Monkeyman because:

1. She was never really allowed to be a teenager, and

2. The Monkeyman offers the possibility of escape from a marriage she entered into as a literal child.

There. I’ve explained it. You’re welcome, Mssrs. Dylan, Harrison, Lynne, Orbison, and Petty. 👍

What’s inexplicable to me is why the fuck the undercover cop isn’t targeting Bill. Bill, the racketeer and child predator. Easily located. In his mansion on the hill.

ACAB, I guess…?

Hi!!! I have mildly reigned in my Clarkson music thoughts:

I think Wayne would be pretty set in his ways with the music he likes. Country, bluegrass, folk music. All very acoustic-based. Lots of lyrics about travelling and wandering. Songs that are probably very sad too.

Some musicians: early Bob Dylan, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Patsy Cline, Gram Parsons/The Byrds, James Taylor.

He’d be pretty chuffed at the idea of a bunch of his faves forming The Travelling Willburys. They released their first album in 1988 (which Eddie buys him).

I don’t know why I’m envisioning Scott as liking a lot of female singer-songwriters from the 70s and that’s where there would be an overlap with Wayne’s music tastes. Like Wayne loves learns that Scott likes Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt. He likes Carol King and Joni Mitchell the most.

Buuut I also think Scott would be into more contemporary stuff for the time, considering he’s a middle school teacher so he overhears a lot of music talk and has needed to confiscate a Walkman or two in his time!

Talking Heads, Peter Gabriel. I could totally see him liking the techo-whatever (I don’t know music terms) of groups like Devo too.

I'm now resisting the strong urge to write a ficlet of Scott making Wayne a mixtape!

Anyway, I'll stop. Hope this was okay 💖

Okay so it took me a while until i actually had time to answer this with the attention it deserves but THANK YOU I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS. I will now be obsessively thinking about Scott giving Wayne a mixtape bc holy shit that is the most adorable thing ever i am screaming into my pillow!!! He'd be all embarrassed about it like "i know it's something silly that all my middle schoolers do but those songs made me think of you and i wanted to share them with you" (idk if they're already officially together or still in that awkward are-we-dating-or-not phase but eddie would be watching this interaction from the couch like 👀👀👀👀👀👀 and tease wayne about it for the next 100 years. i would devour any fic about this tbh)

And i'm so glad you agree with me about Wayne being a James Taylor sad country bluegrass man! I can also definitely picture them listening to Joni Mitchell together i love that for them <3 There are for sure some artists in this list that i'm gonna have to check out, so thank you so much for sending me so many great and well thought out ideas ily! <333

Roy Kelton Orbison (Vernon, Texas; 23 de abril de 1936-Hendersonville, Tennessee; 6 de diciembre de 1988), conocido como Roy Orbison y también como Lefty Wilbury, cantante, compositor y músico estadounidense, conocido por su estilo de cantar muy intenso y apasionado, con elaboraciones de sus composiciones muy complejas y la emisión de baladas emocionales y oscuras.Su carrera se extendió a lo largo de 32 años. Mientras que la mayoría de los artistas masculinos de rock and roll en los años 50 y 60 proyectaban una masculinidad desafiante, muchas de las canciones de Orbison transmitían vulnerabilidad.La música fue parte importante de su vida familiar. En el sexto cumpleaños de Roy, su padre le regaló una guitarra. Más tarde recordó que a la edad de siete años, "ya había terminado, por cualquier cosa". Su mayor influencia musical en su juventud fue la música country. Le conmovió especialmente el canto de Lefty Frizzell, con sus sílabas arrastradas. (Cuando más tarde se unió al supergrupo británico-estadounidense The Traveling Willburys, adoptó el nombre de "Lefty" Wilbury). También disfrutó a Hank Williams y Jimmie Rodgers. Uno de los primeros músicos que escuchó en persona fue Ernest Tubb, jugando en la parte trasera de un camión en Fort Worth. En el oeste de Texas, estuvo expuesto a muchas formas de música: "sepia" (un eufemismo para el ritmo y el blues), Tex-Mex, los arreglos de Mantovani y el cajún. El favorio del cajún, "Jole Blon" fue una de las primeras canciones que cantó en público. A los ocho años comenzó a cantar en un programa de radio local. A fines de la década de 1940, era el anfitrión del programa.
