You really missed the point man and Roy Orbison would not make it today. That is the point. Roy had hits because they were established song writers prior to MTV and in the 80s the old guard stlill hung around as everything was still fresh. The industry weeded these types out more and more in the 90s and in his Drive ALL Night video 90210 star was used and not really him. It got worse and worse until we now have Tate McRae level artist and music is damn near dead. The second a hit leaves it is gone forever but the songs prior to this that still had talent behind them stay with us still and even young kids love them.
Again you didn’t listen to the lyrics and your picking the 20 on the 80/20 part again just to argue.
And yeah I know he died. A plaque of his children hung on my elementary school wall and he lived down the street from my parents.
