Not to be rude...but Billy Idol!!! He's an aging rock star of 80's!! "White Wedding," "Rebel Yell" and all that? He's that old guy who has the song "Scream."

Oh, thank goodness! I was gonna cry. Ok, I was gonna pout - just a little. I was like "OMG, I just signed on and already - a 'dis'ing or misunderstanding - and I'm just trying to bond with complete strangers!" Wow, I just totally put it into perspective for myself.
Thanks!

Oh, yeah - I saw him in concert. I went with my best friend from my childhood. It was really awesome. We were screaming and dancing in the aisles. It was great. The last show I had seen was Peter Murphy - the week my child was conceived three years ago.

I meant Billy Idol and that is awesome! I take it you were a teen in the 80's?

I was a teen in the 80's. I graduated HS in 1991. I really loved the concept of the 80's. I loved Xanadu (in the very early 80's) - I roller skated constantly. I was very disappointed when HS turned out not to be a John Hughes movie. Did I mention I was very naiive?

Man...you never knew the 80's! The songs of your childhood are by Nirvana, Primus and (God forbid!) Hooty and the Blowfish! That's ok though - what does my kid have? No Doubt (wait! I like them), that girl who is famous but has no talent but she has a sister who is famous who has only a speck of talent (wait! there's more than one!) and...ummm...let's see - hell, I don't know. Oh, yeah - the Darkness!!! She'll be just fine!

Yeah for real! There are a lot of dumb famous people in the 90's. I like 80's music though...

Hey AnnaMom, that sounds like a great experience. Billy seems like a pretty cool guy - I think he's in his late 40's now, but he hardly looks any different than 20 years ago!
BTW, Pink Kitty don't worry about not recognizing the name. I was born in late '81 and didn't know who he was until like 1994 (loved "Eyes without a Face" instantly - he should've done more rock ballads like this!). :)
As I pointed out in another thread, it's funny how alot of 80's music reminds me of the 90's, since that's when I "discovered" alot of it (well, I'd grown up on it anyway - my parents listened to it - but I started finding more of it on my own, from VH1 etc).
