Handle With Care

Saturday night; beautiful night for a bike ride; here, now, at Starbucks.

The Starbucks playlist is incredible:
  • Don't Know Why, actually sung by Norah Jones
  • Handle With Care, by an unknown group; written by Traveling Wilburys
  • Dance Me To the End of Love, by an unknown female vocalist, Leonard Cohen's song
Writing credits for Handle With Care are shared by all five Wilburys, but the words are mostly Dylan's it seems, unless George Harrison, who appears to get most of the credit for the song, was greatly influenced by Dylan. Perhaps the idea for the song was George's and all band members contributed a line or a stanza, but certainly this is a "Bob Dylan stanza":
Been stuck in airports, terrorized
Sent to meetings, hypnotized
Overexposed, commercialized
Handle me with care.
A random note, that's all.
Handle With Care, The Traveling Wilburys
