Dammit, Idol, take yiour freaking shirt off!!!!

OK, so I went to see Billy Idol in concert at Mandalay Bay last night. Helluva show, I definitely would say I got my money’s worth, except…

He didn’t take his shirt off.

He slipped offstage four different times to change shirts, but he wouldn’t take his shirt off where we could see him.

He practically made the audience sing “Flesh for Fantasy” for him, but would he show us any? Nooooooooooo.

Gosh dang it all to heck, any forty-seven year old man who still looks that good ought to be showing it off.

Who do I complain to about this?

Is he really 47? That would mean he is ten years older than me. I would have guessed he was more like 8 years older than me at most, making him 45. I liked a lot of his earlier solo stuff, but some of his more popular later stuff (Rebel Yell) didn’t do it for me.

I think he didn’t take his shirt off because he now has a bit of a gut, and despite a fairly intensive exercise program, it hasn’t gone away, hence, no half-naked Billy for the adoring ladies to throw their panties & room keys at.
