So what's the deal with the skirts?
Has Billy ever addressed this? Is this some sort of tongue-in-cheek humor? Is he completely serious? Is this some sort of homage to someone from the past?

well during MCIS-era (i think) he mentioned something about all his songs being written from a female perspective and he can't imagine a man singing/covering his songs. Probably some bullshit about androgyny that b0llz thinks is cool but really isn't funny anymore when you pay a designer a fuckload to make the dresses.

what a fucking retarded thing to talk about.

hate the hater is my friend

the skirts are cute.
upskirts are even better (far and few) |
what a stupid question. hate the hater is a fuck.
The skirts just add more to the aesthetic appeal and glamore of the concert. It makes billy look much more provocative and important than if he had wore boring pants. |

Androgeny is nothing knew. David Bowie pulled it off pretty well for a while. But Billy's take on androgeny is almost completely different to Bowie's concept....Yay for originality!
It all creates a great ambience for the show. :) |

Billy is one of the last few people who actually bother to express individuality in music. All live musicians today of the same genre seem to follow the same themes and elements in their live performances.
Indie Rockers dress Indie, death metal artists look heavy metal...Agh. BOOORING. |
you guys better stop being dicks to hate the hater, or you'll get a knuckle sandwich!
