Musical Interlude: Handle With Care (1988)

The phrase, "handle with care", is often associated with fragile items in transport. Since relationships are often fragile, too, it would perhaps explain the first single from the 80's supergroup, the Traveling Wilburys, an all star collection of singer-songwriters consisting of Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynne (Electric Light Orchestra), and ex-Beatle George Harrison, who'd experienced a career revival a year earlier with his solo CD, "Cloud Nine". Lynne co-produced "Cloud Nine", and he & Harrison came up with the Wilbury name.

Today, only Lynne & Dylan remain. Orbison passed away prior to the production of a music video for "End of The Line". Petty passed away back in October, and Harrison left us a few years ago.

Here's "Handle With Care":
