Billy Idol: High-Gloss Lip Service

Elvis is dead, but his spirit lives on in the upper lip of Billy Idol. Indeed, after watching that appendage in action, one has to wonder whether Billy himself isn't just something it puts on when it wants to go out. Musically speaking, Idol's post-Generation X solo career may have peaked back around the time people still wanted to look like Michael Jackson. But the King of Sneer still has a loyal retinue of idolatrous fans, who packed the 9:30 club Sunday to sing along with such impossible-to-categorize (Were they punk? Rock? Or just plain schlock?) classics as "White Wedding" and "Dancing With Myself."
