Billy Idol (1993)

Interview by David A. Keeps, Rock's Backpages audio, Summer 1993

Billy Idol talks about first getting his hair dyed; his itinerant upbringing; moving to America, and how he feels about it; William Broad vs. Billy Idol, and his beliefs; his motorcycle crash; the sacrifices of celebrity; his conviction for hitting a woman; being attacked, and his scars; his L.A. social life, and awards ceremonies; his appearance, and how he dresses; getting into acting... and what would be the ideal Billy Idol sandwich.
