Рет қаралды 840,506
10 жыл бұрынAs 2AM rolled around, the 2013 Bonnaroo SuperJam had already treated the audience to massive surprises such as Brittany Howard of the Alabama Shakes and R. Kelly. Everyone was on cloud nine. As the band performed their first encore, they couldn't help but wonder... would Billy Idol make it over to the SuperJam in time for the final surprise of the night? In the end, Billy Idol appeared out of nowhere as the crowd erupted with a roar of excitement and the band launched into a monstrous take on T. Rex's "Bang a Gong (Get It On)". The ultimate show topper for one of the best Bonnaroo shows in the festival's illustrious history. Only at Bonnaroo.

Marc Bolan introduced Billy Idol as" someone that is suppose to be as pretty as me" Check it out ,Marc would be proud of this cover! Remember ,"Keep Some Marc In Your Heart"

I remember seeing Billy on TOTP around 1978 with Generation X with the full on punk/rock attitude performed to perfection. I never saw any lack of confidence. Watching this he appears to be unconfident of what he is and brings to the table, maybe because he is around top musicians. Billy, never forget what you are good at. That is your individual quality which no one else has.

*A wonderful thing happened on the day I was born, back in 19 hundred, fifty eight.* I quickly learned that the Age of Aquarius had just dawned, bringing in a whole new mentality. Rock n Roll had just planted it's seed deep inside America and it was growing world wide into a new way of life. No longer did age mandate and restrict us. We could be as young as we feel. And when we are rockin'... we feel young... forever. We learned, we don't have to grow old mentally. We can remain vibrant and creative as long as we wish. We learned age was just mind over matter... and if you don't fuckin' mind... it just don't fuckin' matter! Live on my good people, treat those around you with joy and respect, enjoy the journey, and grow a little every day.
