If anyone knows anything about Billy Idol can you please post it as Im currently following some leads.
Heres some interesting comments reguarding one of his tatoos.Its off his official fan site.Full article is here: www.billyidol.com/v1/frame.html
" I never - ever - wanted a tattoo in my life . I just hated seeing them lizards and dragons . I mean sometimes they're done brilliantly that you really admire them , but I thought ' I don't want a dragon ' I wanted something that people would say. ' Yeah , that's great ! ' and sort of add to the tattoo world .
I had this book all about these Russian art students in the sixties and they had created this cartoon character -- this Amazon Brigitte Bardot , Mata Hari spy type person who vanquishes the foes of Oktobriana ( The October Revolution ) , you know , the foes of real communism . Well , in the end all these students got put in psycho hospitals , except for one guy who got out and brought the cartoon to London and printed it.
I think Bowie must have seen it , thats why he wore that disc on his forehead , because Oktobriana , has a star on her forehead. Well , I really liked this book and I'd been out of my mind at the time ."
And this: "The first anyone in the West heard of her was in the book Octobriana and the Russian Underground by Peter Sadecky , published in 1971. In the book Sadecky claimed to have been a member of an underground movement in the U.S.S.R. called the P.P.P (the Progressive Political Pornography group). The group published underground comics and anti-state propaganda in the late sixties. Now, although the P.P.P. were anti-state (as they were all for free speech and free love) they did still believe in Communism and so created a comic strip heroine who embodied the ideas of Communism (as they saw them). This heroine was Octobriana, the spirit of the October Revolution!
The strips were created by a group of P.P.P. members who, by using the pseudonym of 'Roy Pavel Drakov', managed to protect their identities from the Soviet authorities.
Octobriana's mission was to fight for the Russian People, against the oppressive Soviet Government and all sorts of outlandish threats - including a giant killer walrus."
He is suppose to be living close to my town at the moment and would love to speak to him.A number of people I know have seen him out and about.Whether its the original or not(IF he was replaced) I havent looked into.But I'm sure he is in the know concerning the music/spy/wizards/rituals/psy-ops..etc thing going on.
