The frame catches Idol bleached and spiky on a New York street in a pale-pink jacket — the early-Generation X aesthetic that would carry him out of the second wave of UK punk and toward the solo career that would define him in the decade ahead. Bayley shot Idol with the same insider access she brought to the wider scene as door manager at CBGB and house photographer at PUNK Magazine — proximity that gave her work a quality the era's press photographers could rarely match.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ROBERTA BAYLEY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48505468682489,"sku":"JP0426056","price":2000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/2783\/5385\/files\/JP0426056_1.jpg?v=1781101680","url":"https:\/\/shop.joopiter.com\/products\/mkt-curated-by-joopiter-roberta-bayley-billy-idol-new-york1978","provider":"Joopiter","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
