Sad to see him go at such an early age.

It must have really been a thrill for him to play with George Harrison in the Traveling Wilburys.

I remember an interview with him after Roy Orbison's passing. He said that he called George Harrison and said something about the awful news. George said to him, "Aren't you glad it's not you?"

This time it was him. Now three of the Wilburys are sadly gone.

It reminds me of how short this life is.
