The Traveling Wilburys haven't aged well, I would argue.  These songs wouldn't have gotten on the radio if not for celebrity cachet.  At least they learned from this song never to put Dylan on a harmony vocal.

Oh, to hear "Batdance" or "BUffalo Stance" ...


from your keyboard to God's ear.

or "Bust a Move" or "Walk the Dinosaur".  And even if Dave wasn't listening to anything other than KFOG in '89, surely there are dozens of other songs he could play but chooses not to.

anything that put Roy Orbison on the radio can't be all bad.  In December of that year I bought a RO GH album -- and two days later he died.

"Don't hold your breath / Cause it'll make you blue"

One of my favorite lines ever -- I love this kind of wordplay.

More wordplay!  BOS to the Mayor of Simpleton!

P.S.  I finally learned where this title was taken from.  But I can't find the paper I wrote it down on!
