Billy Idol still has it…sneer and all.
80’s MTV icon Billy Idol played to a packed Tabernacle audience on Tuesday, June 11th. The crowd consisted of former rockers and suburban housewives with their teenage kids, proving to them that mom was once “cool”. If you came to hear the “Billy Idol Experience”, you got it in full force. His 18- song set list consisted of his greatest hits and a couple of new songs off of a forthcoming album. After many years of touring, Mr. Idol and company have honed their set to perfection. Despite his reputation for excess, the 57-year old punk rocker and his six-pack abs would put many 20-year olds to shame.
