Billy Idol has teamed up with Avril Lavigne on a new single that represents something of an inter-generational punk pop summit.
77 is, of course, a nod to the year punk broke (at least in the UK) and contains plenty of references for the youngsters to Google and their grandparents to nod sagely at: ‘Kings Road every weekend/ they hate us and they don’t know why,’ Billy croons. ‘No love from policemen/ Too Fast To Live, Too Young To Die’. (The latter was the original name of McLaren and Westwood’s Sex boutique, in case you were wondering.)
