Addicted to Noise staff writer Gil Kaufman reports: If an old geezebag like
Gary Glitter was able
to practically blind Roger Daltrey during rehearsals forthe recent London
performance of the Who's Quadrophenia, imagine what the walking-talking rap
sheet on wheels Billy Idol might do to the guy. Stretching the phrase
"special guest star" to its logical limits (unless you're Zsa Zsa or a
Sheen, don't you actually have to do something to be a star?), the
spiky-haired one will be joining the Who, plus Zak Starkey (son of Ringo) on
drums, for six performances of Pete Townshend's multimedia rock opera in New
York's Madison Square Garden on July 16-18 and July 20-22. Surprisingly,
this is not the first time Idol, who will be appearing as the characters
"Ace Face" and "The Bellboy," has joined the Who for this kind of event. If
you remember correctly, he also appeared in the original revival of "Tommy"
in the late '80's alongside Patti LaBelle and Steve Winwood.
