I'm so glad I had the privilege of growing up in the 80's and 90's and having access to such awesome musical artists during those 2 decades. The music they play NOWADAYS will NEVER COMPARE to the music I got to grow up listening 😊

    Never would've thought back in the 80s that Billy Idol would have the staying power - but here we are in 2023 and he's still performing, still sounding good. And still has drive and passion for it. He's become a genuine icon of our generation...and his songs are timeless.

    I was crushed between 2 cars with both legs having a compound level IV injury. I was scheduled for amputation and a trauma Dr. came in and saved my legs by giving me a muscle graft from my back, vein graft, arterial graft, skin grafts and bone grafts from my pelvis. My lung collapsed and I had to have my achilles tendon cut in half to lengthen it. The driver took off and she was caught a month later from reward posters. It took me over 2 years to be able to walk again.

    Dang, 80's icon. Nothing like the 80's music, from Billy Idol, Boy George, Michael Jackson, groups like the Commodores (Lionel Richie), The Eagles, Phil Collins and old R&B singers who parlayed into 80's music; Aretha Franklin, Patti LaBelle, etc. The electronic keyboards, I mean just the sound. And when they sang, you understood every single word.

    2:20 To have a life that is worth getting better for. Remember that everyone, when your down in the dumps. Ride the wave the best you can and put on some Billy Idol music, it cheers me up every time without fail!
