Why did Roy Orbison wear a cross?
It is an iron cross, a traditional NOT NAZI German military decoration. He lost his original one so his wife got him the one we most often see him with. No one really knows wh…y he wore it. 2nd Answereer says: Mr. Roy Orbison wore the cross for several reasons. The most obvious reason was his love for motorcycles. Roy was an avid motorcycle fan. It is a symbol widely used in the chopper world by chopper builders and riders. You will often see it associated with Harley-Davison motorcycles. Roy also wore the cross because he was a Bible-based Christian. Specifically, he was a Baptist. His life was marred with tragedy and rejection because he felt that he was considered unattractive. In an interview, Roy acknowledged how he leaned on Christ to get him through those tough times. Barbara, his second wife, resembles his first wife Claudette. She had died in a tragic motorcycle accident. This was another reason he wore it. He had a difficult time getting though that and the symbol used for a motorcycle and the cross aspect (Christianity), helped him cope with the loss. Claudette, his first wife, and Roy loved riding their motorcycles. His second wife, Barbara, adamantly discouraged any and all talk of his Christianity. Sadly, Barbara also never bothered to even give him a modest gravemarker. There is nothing there- so you can walk over over his dead body and never know it. He's buried in Westwood Memorial Park in Westwood, California. If you can come across the caretaker, he will pace it out and show you where #97 is buried. He is known there as # 97. Roy died on December 6th, 1988 and still, Barbara Orbison, his second wife, has yet to find the decency to mark his grave with a modest marker. 3rd Answereer says: Elvis Pesley hailed Roy as the epitome of a singer, The Beatles were awed by his powerful voice, and MANY in the music industry were simply dumb-struck by his simple delivery. R.I.P. to 'just another man in black', 'The Big O', Roy Kelton Orbison. For more information, please see the link below... (MORE)
