Best known for his MTV-friendly hits like "Dancing With Myself," "Rebel Yell" and "White Wedding," rocker Billy Idol's long and varied career has been a wild ride. Tracy Smith hits the road with the rock idol for an unvarnished look back on a lifetime of sex, drugs, and mostly rock 'n' roll.

They get on shows like X factor and The Voice and UK/USA Got Talent and proceed to kiss the arses of the high and mighty in the music business thinking it is what they need to do to make it. They broke the mould when they made him, or should I say Billy broke the mould that he created and no one has been able to come close to his music, his attitude or his presence on stage. He even stole the limelight from Bon Jovi (they were headlining) when they were doing a gig with a third act who I can't recall. A true rock n roll legend.
