The first and most obvious video. Should have been renamed How To Kill Your Career In Five Minutes. I'm still not entirely sure if Billy ever officially came out of the closet. He seems to be in that ambiguously gay grey area (AKA Kevin Spacey's Basement) but whoa, man, was this ever an awkward sight for hetero rocker dudes in 1984.
Call me crazy, but I still think Freddie Mercury came off straighter than Billy Squier in that last video. Regardless, this video (and the song) is just abominable. The album MIRACLE is actually pretty good in spite of this audio hemhorroid. I swear to God this song reminds me of the Ghostbusters theme....
I tend to have a love-hate thing with Journey. Some days I think I want to find Steve Perry and kill him with my bare hands. But on other days I remember my girlfriend's funny anecdotes about him babysitting her in Hawaii and I let him live. But, at the risk of sounding like an old queen on the red carpet, what the fuck is the deal with a tuxedo jacket and blue jeans??? And if that's not funny enough, get a good look at Randy Jackson on bass and Cameo Afro. I need to get my samurai sword autographed by him some day....
