It's a supergroup starring four rock n roll legends from different decades: Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, George Harrison, and Tom Petty, and the ELO frontman who could bring them together. I doubt that you'd consider any of the four to be a guilty pleasure, so why consider them together a "guilty pleasure?" Granted, Vol. 3 might not be as good as the first album, but still.
Good question Rev. I suppose I was influenced by a memory of my ex-brother-in-law who was a big Beatles fan, trying to convince my teenage son that the Wilburys were worth a listen. My son was singularly unconvinced ( I think he was into the Beastie Boys at the time ).
After that, I supose I considered them " uncool " " dadrock " , stuff like that. Secretly and guiltily though, I liked them.
A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
