Billy Idol Should Be Dead

Everyone knows his catchy punk pop anthems from the 80’s but I didn’t really know a lot about the artist and the man so I couldn’t wait to watch this rock doc with an edge…a LOT of edge. A dark, energetic story about one particular spiky-haired, snarled lip artist but also…
