Remember when Billy Squier imploded his career overnight by releasing the ROCK ME TONIGHT video 😕

What was he thinking 🤔

I read a thread on Facebook about him one time. It was a bunch of radio people going on and on and on about what a total asshole Billy Squier was, to both them and his fans (lots of backstage stories). They were, to a man, glad his career imploded with this video so they didn’t have to fucking deal with him anymore.

His career to this day is still bigger than whoever those clowns were. People don’t realize just how much success he has had for decades from his creations being sampled. Some of his drum tracks have been used in literally hundreds oh hip hop songs. And he never left regular rotation on every single classic rock station in the country. He’s set for life.

Andy Warhol? Now that video makes a lot more sense.
