I hope you realize that, while Orbison is the subject, it's not a poem about him or one of is concerts. In fact I don't even mention his name. Using his picture may make it look like the poem's about him, and I hesitated to use it; but I had to use something as an illustration, so that Harry or Nancy wouldn't put some of their AI art on as the illustration instead.
