George was also a gentle soul. Ringo was okay. John was a rather unpleasant man who married a really unpleasant woman. Paul is just a big phony in a show biz phony way.
The Wilbury’s were a lot of fun. Roy Orbison was before my time and was never big on Pretty Woman. More recently, I listened to some of his other songs and they are out of this world. Walk On, In Dreams and others. Just incredible. One of the best things to come out of Texas along with Buddy Holly.
Texas - golf and rock and roll. You can mention all the names but it comes down to Ben Hogan - Texan. In R&R you can mention lots of names but it probably comes down to Buddy Holly.
I also always liked Tom Petty. A Florida boy who made it big.
Agree with your assessment of The Beatles totally. And Roy Orbison is another gentle soul. Fabulous, unique voice. One of my favourites.
