on newyears eve this year someone said that roy orbison was an anti-semite. i was crushed but didnt ask for a source. so today im looking up those key words and get this: Q. A recent TV special on the late Roy Orbison known for hits like Oh, Pretty Woman and Cryingshowed him wearing a pendant that resembled a Nazi swastika. Was he an anti-Semite?
N. Goldberger, Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
A. Paris- Like wtf? Mr. Goldberger in Florida why would you care if he was an anti-Semite or not? What he does in the bedroom should stay there!
Kevin- Uh…um… Just to clear this up Roy Orbison was wearing a pendant that was a Cross Alisee Patte, it is not a swastika. There is a rather large difference between the two. i think he may have just been sporting the surfers cross look. [time magazine apr 22 1966] but ill have to ask the person next time i see her what her source was.

sorry to be redundant, promising to read further in the future.
by way of full disclosure adman and i had surfers crosses back in the day. but not the molded base metal jobs (iron cross style?) with surfers on them. we had thinner black enameled maltese style surfers crosses of the formee pattee variety. i also had a classic saint christopher medal (for skate boarding sidewalk surfing protection - not the new kind )
