Summary
George tilted his head with an ease that belied his seriousness. “Don’t expect any Beatles songs. Can you imagine Bob Dylan singing ‘Penny Lane’?”
He let the question hang, lips curling into a smile. The air shifted, as if the moment itself was being dangled off the side of a cliff.
“Not that I’d mind hearing him do ‘Something’.”
--
1989. The Traveling Wilburys were on the road—a one-of-a-kind tour.
On stage, George could hardly tear his eyes from Bob. Off stage, Bob's hands seemed to find him without thought, as if pulled by a gravity neither had learned to resist.
But subtlety had never been their strong suit—and the others weren’t as oblivious as they pretended to be.
