Tuesday, March 1 is Billy Idol Day Here at 80s Airwaves!!
The month of March officially begins the coming of Spring and people start to become anxious about the forthcoming Summer season. In my mind, no artist represents Summer Fun and Spring Fever more than Billy Idol. If Billy’s new CD, the Devil’s Playground (in stores on March 22), doesn’t put you in the mood for convertibles, cold beer, warm sand and hot nights, then you are already dead my friend. During high school, in 1983, I bought my first car for $1,000, a 1967 Ford Galaxy 500 convertible. The ONLY time I have EVER put a bumper-sticker on a car was that one and, of course, it was a Billy Idol bumper sticker. It was the last time I EVER bought a fucking Ford as well, but I digress…
Between 9AM and 4PM CST this Tuesday, March 1, 80s Airwaves will be playing ALL 13 of the tracks off the new Billy Idol CD! We will set up an online voting booth and ask our listeners to vote on your favorite track. IT WILL NOT BE EASY. This new CD rocks HARD, so if you’re not up for it, you might want to try some easy listening 80s station. The voting booth will close on March 2nd and the four new songs receiving the most votes will go into our new release rotation this week. Beyond the new Billy tracks, we will also feature Billy’s music from the 80’s and Generation X from the late 70’s, including some live tracks, studio outakes and demos.
So tune in, all day, March 1, for our self-proclaimed, Billy Idol day!!
Allll-Right!
