George Harrison Named the Traveling Wilburys After a Slang Term He Used in the Recording Studio

George Harrison loved hanging out with his friends. Being close to them meant he was closer to God. George would turn up to their houses late at night, expecting jam sessions, which they could never turn down because they loved him just as much. So, if they all liked jamming and hanging out together, why not establish one of the world’s biggest supergroups?

The product was the Traveling Wilburys; the band Rolling Stone called the supergroup to end all supergroups. George was the founder and leader, but he and the rest of his bandmates, including Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, and Bob Dylan, treated each other as equals. They checked their egos at the door and let the band roam wherever it wanted.
