The Rock Pod / Billy Squier: The Rise, The Riffs, The Silk Pajamas

Billy Squier wasn’t just a rock star — he was a full-blown riff machine, arena-packer, and the guy who gave us “The Stroke.” But then came one legendary misstep: a pink tank top, satin sheets, and a music video that practically became the blueprint for how not to use MTV.

In this episode, we unpack the full saga of Billy Squier — from his classical piano roots to his arena rock domination, from collaborating with Freddie Mercury to becoming a cautionary tale of 80s music video culture.

🎸 The hits, the hype, the humiliating video. 🎧 The truth behind his rise and fall. 🔥 And why his legacy deserves way more respect.

It’s a story of talent, timing, and a whole lot of bad choreography. Turn it up — this one’s electric.
