Roy Orbison

He may have passed away, but Roy Orbison has finally be honored on the Hollywood Walk of fame!

Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Roy Orbison was honored posthumously today with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. His wife, Mrs. Barbara Orbison, was on-hand for the ceremony and for the presentation of the 2,400th star located close-by to fellow Traveling Wilbury, George Harrison’s star as well as close to friend, John Lennon’s star in front of the Capitol records building.

It is amazing to see all Orbison’s friends who came out to see this! I was wondering why Jeff Lynne was there, but then I remembered Jeff and Roy were in the Traveling Wilbury’s together!

Also attending, David Lynch (who uses Orbison’s music in almost every film he makes. Remember the opera scene in Mulholland Drive?), Chris Isaak (and his little dog, too), Joe Walsh, Olivia Harrison, Phil Everly, Eric Idle, T-Bone Burnett and Dwight Yoakam. Dan Aykroyd gave the induction speech.

Man, if I didn’t have a “real” job besides this one, I would so have been there to see all of these legends together to honor Roy!
