Dancing With Myself

BILLY IDOL STILL HAS THAT WHIPLASH SMILE

Billy Idol left the black leather at home because he’s at LAX on his way to Las Vegas where he’s performing in residence at the House of Blues. How he survived the 80’s, we’ll never know. He must have overdosed (mostly in parking lots) half a dozen times and had AWFUL motorcycle accidents, (biking high is never a good idea) Once he nearly lost a leg. Billy wrote his autobiography a few years ago called “Dancing with Myself” and fans of that indulgent era might be advised to pick it up – it’s loaded with juicy stories.

Billy Idol is autographing his book “Dancing With Myself” at Book Soup on Sunset Strip this Saturday. During the late 80’s and 90’s, Billy had a house in the hills above Sunset that was party and drug central. It seems like every night he was on his motorcycle hitting a club or two on Sunset. More than twice he passed out cold from drugs and was presumed dead in parking lots there. Groupies, pharmaceuticals, and motorcycles – he survived them all. And he still looks amazing. Billy is 58 and he’s totally recognizable and still has that hair. Just a few added lines…
