Feeling like a rebel today.
At first, I thought, gimme some power chords. Nirvana came to mind, with “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” “Here we are now, entertain us.”
But, then, naw…”Rebel Yell” began streaming, and quickly segued into one of my favorite Billy Idol tunes, “White Wedding.” “It’s a nice day to start again.”
It’s cooler today, with a projected high of just eighty-eight under clear blue skies. Definitely a nice day to start again. Here it is, Billy Idol, from nineteen eighty-two, when I was just a wee man of twenty-six years. Boy, what would need to be sacrificed to be twenty-six again, hey?
Part 1? Was there a Part 2 of “White Wedding?” If ever there were a song that didn’t seem like it’d need a sequel, that’d, at least, be high on the list.

LOL – nice analogy. Billy Idol was known for that, according to a friend back then.

I had no idea? Ever hear his version of “Don’t You (Forget About Me)”? That one was written by Keith Forsey, who was Billy Idol’s producer for a while, and he asked him to record it before Simple Minds did it. Billy Idol did it some time later, years after it was a hit.

No, I’d never heard that cover. Certainly Idolized it, didn’t he?
