British musician Billy Idol first came on the scene during the punk rock era as part of the band Siouxsie & the Banshees.  Named “Idol” due to his teachers’ descriptions that he was an idle student, Billy crashed onto the U.S. shores in 1983 with single Dancing with Myself.  What do I remember most about Billy Idol?  Learning that he got his hair to stay up that way by using toothpaste.  Apparently, hair gel wasn’t perfected yet.
