I have a Billy Idol story! I got to meet and hang out with him in the late 90’s. He was so nice and humble. I jokingly asked him to teach me how to do the raised lip curl he does. He smiled and said “Just think of someone you love and hate at the same time”. It worked. Lol. He’s a sweetheart. 💕

I have kids that enjoy all sorts of music… but they don’t seem to understand loud music. We live in this Alexa world where there isn’t any punch, no kick and low fidelity. Fortunately I have an audiophile grade amp that spits out a clean 325 watts per channel RMS. I think I need to give them each a beer (one is 21 the other 24) and demonstrate how to properly listen to a true rocker.

Billy Idol quote, “I’ve always had a fascination with the titles of horror films … I was particularly intrigued by the ‘60s French nouvelle vague forerunner Les Yeux Sans Visage (Eyes Without a Face), about a brilliant plastic surgeon who vows to restore the face of his daughter, who has been horribly disfigured in a car accident. This vow leads him to murder, as he sets out collecting the facial features of his victims, which he then grafts onto his daughter’s hideous countenance, attempting to restore her beauty. Her staring eyes remain the only thing visible.”

My step-son looked so much like Billy Idol that my daughter at 3, seeing Billy in concert on Tv while her brother was visiting his mother for the summer out of province, screamed and smiled at Billy, pointing, clapping and calling out for her bro. There was 14 years between them. When my Stepson returned from the summer vacation and returned to high school, Halloween was soon upon them. He was so thrilled with my daughter being convinced his summer job was to sing on stage, that he thought he’d dress for the Halloween dance as Billy. He and I applied ourselves to costume, a bit of bronzer to raise his cheekbones and how to turn his light golden tresses to Billy’s white. Voila! So prepped, he drove off to school fully dressed, only to return home several hours later only partially clothed. The girls at the dance were so overwhelmed by him, they tore at his jeans, tearing them off above the knees. Slashed black tee shirt lay in ribbons about his shoulders and chest. Hair was totally dishevelled. But the grin of joy on this shy young man’s face lasted a month...The girls all noticed him at school from that day forward....

Welcome to the 1980s! The best/most fun decade of all time! So glad I grew up during the 1980s!

I have been a huge fan of Billy Idol since his Generation X days. Check out Kiss Me Deadly or Ready Steady Go from Gen X. Billy is very young then. I have been to many of his concerts. The Rebel Yell concert was amazing with super high energy. I just saw him two years ago in Vegas. Billy is still kicking ass and his voice sounds strong this many years later. His guitarist, Steve Stevens, is a legend!! Steve was the guitarist for the theme from Top Gun and won a Grammy for his work. Steve played the Top Gun theme at the last concert I attended and it just blew me away. He just shreds on guitar! It’s unbelievable!

Just example of why the 80's had the best music of all time. I'm glad this new generation can enjoy what I listen to on the radio as a 9yr old back in 1983. This could have been the official song of the COVID era

It's interesting that you reacted to The Who and Billy Idol on the same day. Billy toured with the Who in 1996 during their "Quadrophenia" Tour. Quadrophenia is a rock opera written by Pete Townshend in 1973 and adapted as a movie in 1975. There is a character in the story called The Bellboy. In the movie it was played by Sting. Billy played the role onstage in that tour.
