Posted by David Ellcock on 5 August 2008 - 7:30pm.
Remember that recent thread about the coolest uncool people*? Well, how about this?
Dave Simpson gave Billy Idol's recent Manchester show a five-star review in The Guardian yesterday and went so far as to say that his version of White Wedding was "terrific". The review is here: www.guardian.co.uk/music/2008/aug/04/popandrock
Surely that's a step too far...?

"Diamante Codpiece"
That's all you need to know.
Just to make it clear...
...that's Billy's codpiece, not mine. I prefer a plain leather model.
Canutes!
What is this - the Campaign Against Preposterous Rock'n'Roll? Tautology's such an ugly word...
C'mon - surrender to the rhythm. Sir Billiam, I salute you
I like this comment left on You Tube...
