Here's something interesting about Roy Orbison that doesn't seem to have been mentioned yet - he starred in a feature film.

Roy Orbison: “In Dreams”“Just before he made his comeback with The Traveling Wilburys, before he died, I saw him at the Mean Fiddler. It was just him, his guitar and voice, so beautiful, so moving—what a fucking guy. And I was waiting out back to meet him and I did. Y’know what he said to me? “Get out of the way, son,’ as he pushed past me on the way to his limousine.”

At least he added "son." Respectful if patronizing.

Don't criticize what you don't understand, son, you've never walked in that man's shoes.

The book includes an account of how the Big O accidentally developed his sunglasses image while on a U.K. tour with the Beatles in 1963. “He had left his regular glasses on a plane, right before the tour," Roy Jr. told Rolling Stone. "He had the dark glasses with him and decided to keep wearing them. Dad wasn't able to see without glasses. When he got off the plane in England, people were taking pictures and that's what they saw, Dad with the dark glasses."

"Running Scared" never stops amazing me
the lyric constructed in such a way that you don't exactly know whether it's tragedy or celebration until the very last word
(ok the rhyme structure clues you in 1 line earlier but ffs)
