Isn’t actually blind

According to the Wikipedia entry, he started wearing the dark glasses when he forgot/misplaced his normal ones on one occasion, and he found he liked the dark glasses for the way it cut down on glare from stage lights. It also gave him an air of mystery, and led many people to assume he was blind, though he wasn’t and never claimed to be.

Speaking of “Blue”:

Two themes seemed to recur in Orbison’s songs: dreams, and the colour blue.
