I think I said it earlier in this very thread, but having grown up thinking those guys were "old", I realized recently that all but ol' Roy were actually younger than I am today.

Ages at founding of TWb:

Harrison: 45
Lynne: 41
Petty: 38
Dylan: 47
Orbison: 52

What a fantastic group of musicians, though. These five are responsible for so much of the soundtrack of our lives.

I saw George Harrison on the Ed Sullivan show 59 years ago, in 1964. I saw Roy Orbison in person, on stage with Johnny Cash, 64 years ago, in 1959.

Ages are as of the founding of TWb in 1988 sound about right to me. Roy born in 1936 was 52 in 1988.

I think you need to fact check your ages. Roy Orbison was born in 1936.

Exactly. So, he was 52 when the Traveling Wilburys put out their first album, in 1988.

1988
- 1936

52 years old

edit: oops... didn't mean to beat the dead horse. Hadn't seen several others already answered.
