Roy Orbison Vampire King of Mississippi????

Can someone who watches True Blood please explain this to me? (Not the photo -- it's Orbison, all right, from a late 80s photoshoot, although the photo is flopped)

I've thought a bit (in a decidedly unserious fashion) about doing a fic on the subject of Roy Orbison, Vampire. That pasty complexion, dark glasses, black clothes, avoidance of sunlight, and all those songs about dark and dreams... Not to mention a certain sepulchral tone to some of his eerier intonations. But if it's been done I guess there's no point, especially since writing anything "creative" is not really on my bucket list.

Or is this writer simply talking about a vampire character who bears a passing resemblance to Mr. Orbison?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Is this a great bike ride or what?

Look at all the great stuff I see on my morning bike ride! Swamp mallow, loosestrife, Edgewood Lake, I-95 and big honking Navy ships!
