Billy Idol:
British
Invasion
By Kari Howard
You naive Americans. You think
you’re the world’s innovators, don’t
you? “Damn right!” the patriotic
among you are grumbling. Are you
sitting down? Prepare yourself for
disillusionment. The British, yes,
those pesky guys from 1776 have
got a jump on you. They actually
have the audacity to be trendsetters
in the area of music.
Take Billy Idol, for instance.
Young Britons have been captivated
by his rough, some say raunchy^
vocals for ages. Remarkably, this
month marks the first time he has
ever graced American charts. His
debut, which comes during a small-
scale “British invasion,” is
astonishing in that it is long over
due! Possibly the brightest of the
British acts to deluge American
shores lately, Idol has delighted
with the single “Hot City,” last seen
climbing the charts like a bullet. Im
pressed with the song, I bought the
album Billy Idol on the minute
chance the album could offer more of
the same.
Billy Idol by Billy Idol is superb;
every song is superb, every beat is
addictive. I played the album non
stop for hours, a definite exception
to the rule, and was never struck by
monotony. Each song has the
potential of being a hit single. Many
have “number one” written all over
them. “White Wedding” is one of
these. It’s good ol’ rock and roll, for
those of you who shun synthesizers
as “impure” music. “It’s So Cruel”
is slow without being sappy, another
destined for greatness.
So recover from your shock,
Americans, and welcome this fresh,
though long delayed, British artist.
It might prove that you aren’t so
naive, after all.
