Dancing with Myself

â€œI am hopelessly divided between the dark and the good, the rebel and the saint, the sex maniac and the monk, the poet and the priest, the demagogue and the populist. Pen to paper, Iâ€™ve put it all down, every bit from the heart.
Iâ€™m going out on a limb here, so watch my back.â€ â€”Billy Idol

An early architect of punk rockâ€™s sound, style, and fury, whose lip-curling sneer and fist-pumping persona vaulted him into popâ€™s mainstream as one of MTVâ€™s first megastars, Billy Idol remains, to this day, a true rock â€˜nâ€™ roll icon.

Now, in his long-awaited autobiography, Dancing with Myself, Idol delivers an electric, searingly honest account of his journey to fameâ€”from his early days as front man of the pioneering UK punk band Generation X to the decadent life atop the dance-rock kingdom he ruledâ€”delivered with the same in-your-face attitude and fire his fans have embraced for decades. Beyond adding his uniquely qualified perspective to the story of the evolution of rock, Idol is a brash, lively chronicler of his own career.

A survivorâ€™s tale at its heart, this sometimes chilling and always riveting account of one man's creative drive joining forces with unbridled human desire is unmistakably literary in its character and brave in its sheer willingness to tell. With it, Billy Idol is destined to emerge as one of the great writers among his musical peers.
