Ep 31: Whatever Happened to Billy Squier?

This week on CFX we explore the career of singer, guitarist, songwriter and “fancy dancer” Billy Squier. Most importantly, we try to find out whether what seemed destined to be a successful career was prematurely ended by what many claim is the most notoriously bad music video of all time, or if his style of keyboard heavy album oriented rock had just run its course. We decide if Squier’s music will stand the time and, along the way we learn…

• Why Prince and Paul Stanley could get away with things Billy Squier couldn’t 
• What fire will do to a 45 RPM single
• Why the Billboard AOR chart should of been called the B.S. chart for more than one reason
• If Billy was trying to tell the world something about himself
• Why Nagel sucks
• How fragile being a "good looking and sexy guy" actually is...
• How Billy keeps Central Park clean
