Another Connection Between Roy and David

Roy Orbison sings a lot about heartbreak, and longing.  David Lynch bases most of his movies on temptation of the lead/supporting actress.  On this subject of temptation, Roy and David overlap.  Think about David Lynch's movies.  Most of his movies feature a deep longing.  The lesbianism in Mulholland Drive serves as longing in that flick, and the creepy temptation of Laura Palmer by Leeland/Bob, in Twins Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, leads to Laura's, sad, ultimate demise.  Isabella Rosellini's character's temptation in Blue Velvet precedes Frank's murder by Jeff.  Don't think I mean temptation leads these people to do the horrible things that happen in these movies.  Temptation just precedes, and supports the acts.
