But the one thing that I noticed, uh, more than anything is the rise and fall of Billy Squier.

[laughs] Yeah.

And we all know the fall was that video of him prancing around in the, in the, in the lavender or the pink sweater and sweatpants.

Wasn't his idea.

Yeah.

It was some dude, and I, and I, I, I can hear his name.

It, it doesn't matter, the guy's an idiot.

And I'm not here to bash somebody, but it was not an idiot, it was just a bad idea.

They thought it would come across deep, um, it kind of, uh-

Dramatic

... dramatic, and it didn't.

It came across gay.

[laughs] Yeah, the, and that, that in 1985 was not a good look for a rock star.

Those were the homophobe years.

Yeah.

[laughs]

That's when everybody's like, "You think he's gay? 'Cause if I hit him and his blood gets on me, I'm gonna be gay," or whatever.

The crazy things we thought, or whatever.

You know, I gotta say whatever 'cause if I keep talking, I'm gonna look like [laughs] I, I'm a hateful person.

But he does the video, and, and you talk about Billy Squier, how he rose.

You know, he was a part of different bands, and I saw a documentary on him, and I thought, "Could we get away with Billy Squier week and just do Billy a solid?" 'Cause Billy got screwed over pretty good.

Can the Yeah Come On show do Track 13 every day a different Billy Squier song?

This week? Yeah.

Yeah.

We could have a, we could have Billy Squier week.
