Billy Idol

Sunday, February 10th, 2008

Born William Michael Albert Broad on November 30th, 1955 in Middlesex, England.  After a stint playing guitar in a group called Chelsea didn’t pan out (interestingly, the group featured future Clash guitarist Mick Jones) Billy put down the guitar and picked up the microphone.  It wasn’t long before Broad realized that he  could be the frontman of a punk band, and assumed the name Billy Idol shortly thereafter.  Mixing his bad-boy good looks with an appealing blend of pop hooks, punk attitude, and dance beats, Idol quickly rocketed to stardom, before hard living derailed his career and almost proved fatal.

For a nice stack of Jack Nation Points, which 1998 movie did Billy make a cameo in, appearing as himself?

A) Cyber Punk

B) Wedding Singer

C) The Doors

PS - Did you know the Billy Idol song “White Wedding” is not about weddings at all?  It’s all about heroin addiction as in “It’s a nice day to start again”.
