HOME: In the dark.

AGE: Hey!

PROFESSION: Stroking for success.

HOBBIES: Simulating American Bandstand in his garage; telling the tale of the tape; young girls; the big beat, and getting his love high.

LAST BOOK READ: The Pied Piper Of Power Pop by Andy Paley.

LAST ACCOMPLISHMENT: Having hair that long in 1981.

QUOTE: “It’s definitely NOT heavy metal!”

PROFILE: Coming from the city of Aerosmith, J. Geils, the Cars and baked beans, Wild Billy nearly became a teenage pop idol with the Sidewinders. Next came a heavier act, but when America failed to pay the Piper, a solo career ensued. Two albums later, Billy’s proven that you don’t have to say “no” to a successful formula to become a rock ’n’ roll star.

BEER: Boy Howdy!
