Episode #9 - Billy Idol - "Strange Alchemy"

Listen to "Billy Idol - "Strange Alchemy" - Episode 9" on Spreaker.

Billy Idol is a rock and roll icon and his rollercoaster career is more nuanced than you may think.  I select songs from his heyday period of the 80's, his tumultuous and uneven years in the 90's and his underrated comeback this millennium.  Tune in for a some good time party rock with one of the greatest showman of all time.
