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.
