Billy Squier
Billy Squier was born on May 12, 1950, in Wellesley Hills, MA. Billy began playing piano and guitar at an early age, but didn’t become serious with music until discovering Eric Clapton in the late ’60s and deciding to pursue music full-time. After playing in several local bands in the Boston area, Squier spent the early ’70s relocating back and forth between Boston and New York City. Many point to Billy Squier as early-’80s rock personified — an era when he and many of his peers tempered hard rock with pop melodicism — and by adding just the right amount of posing and posturing for the newly constructed MTV set, he scored a string of arena rock anthems and power ballads. What college did Billy attend?
A) Berklee College of Music
B) Brooklyn College of Music
C) Kingswood College of Music

Loved Billy Squire’s music, especially “In the Dark”. But, in the end, the MTV era actually did him in, did it not?

Hi Mike,
Boy I hated that song “The Stroke,” back then and even now. I mustn’t be the only one. Mustn’t I?
