One of my favorites. Billy Idol is a great performer. "White Wedding" launched his career. "Dancing with myself" is innuendo. Go choice. This is one of those artist with a whole lot of material to experience.

Lo and behold that’s exactly what Billy did. I really have a lot of respect for entertainers who go to such lengths to show their appreciation for their fans.
