FIGHT BACK LIKE 77 can be seen and heard here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lx6D5HY9Ms
"'77' is a song about youth that applies to every generation of kids who see themselves as part of a scene - to the kids of today," Billy Idol says about the new single. "The first verse that Avril sings is about being proud of being an outsider. It’s about understanding that the popular mainstream kids who think they are cool and exclude people they consider less than them are actually not that cool at all. I believe that young people - especially those who are into music - know this feeling very well."
In the second verse, Billy transports himself back to 1977, recounting the resilience that punks had to muster to stand up against the establishment and other youth subcultures - these cultural struggles still exist today, as the bridge makes clear: "Same old thing it's always been."
There’s a lot going on with Billy Idol: just a week after the album release, he will embark on an extensive world tour with his band, which will also bring him to Germany and Austria this summer.
