Sweet smell of success

Always loved the Travelling Wilburys. Love the video of Handle with Care. Great vocals from the Big O. One moment of magic is near the end when George Harrison sings the line:- "Sweet smell of success" and Roy Orbison, coming into view in the background, has a great smile that for me "says it all", whatever "all" might be.

Not enigmatic at all. Just a simple smile as two friends share a sense of reality. The limits of "success". Not enigmatic but clear and unambiguous. Both have known "success" and know how pointless a life striving for it can be. Roy can smile. Both can smile. Beautiful moment.

Dylan of course is in his own world yet somehow part of everyone elses.

Mercy! I saw Roy at my local county fair in 1965 when I was 15. One of the best concerts I've ever seen. And I got to hang out with him a while afterward.
