No,he wasn't. He didn't even have poor eyesight. He wore the shades because he was shy,and he didn't want people to see the fear in his eyes as he was performing.
There is this
 On a fateful day during his 1963 tour with the Beatles, Orbison left his glasses on the plane before a show, which forced him to wear his unsightly prescription sunglasses for that night's show. Although he considered the incident "embarrassing," the look became an instant trademark.

And then supposedly from Orbison himself
So, if he wasn’t blind, what was the real story behind Orbison’s trademark sunglasses-clad look? Well, according to Orbison himself, the reason behind his on-stage appearance was that he didn’t have a manager or stylist, so he just went out there wearing whatever he felt comfortable in. He simply put the shades on one day, felt good performing in them, and never looked back.

I was speechless
That's true. Twice. Had two girlfriends who broke up with me.
Then they would call up to weeks later and YELL at me for not calling them anymore.
Even when they were already dating someone else? Women are weird.
One was furious that I was not 'stalking' her. She had totally prepared for it.
When she brought it up, told her I would rather watch TV than anything she was doing.
Sometimes she would call and not say anything, just hang on the phone ... silent.
Women are weird.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists

Roy Orbison driving a car?  That's something you don't see every day.

Because he died several years ago.  :cool:

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
