Remember when Billy Madison returns to high school in a jean jacket and REO speedwagon tshirt?
Billy Squier's "The Stroke" is playing. Billy is supposed to look dated, but I thought he looked pretty badass getting out of the trans am.
I've been watching a lot of old music videos from the 60's on and men used to be hypermasculine and hypersexual. Ie- tanktop, tight pants, facial hair, an abundance of chest hair. That rules. I think dudes are bringing it back somewhat, but our culture still hasn't got over the hairy 70's and we still seem to have an aversion to body hair. We've invented lasers to fight it. Weird.
Anyway, I am declaring April as "Male Sexuality Month" in honour of my friend who, for betting purposes, is remaining celibate until May 1st.
As a woman it's nice to see men tuning into their sexual prowess and men showing off the goods for a bit. Thanks, Rock and Roll.
That being said, it is not always successful and this video is disastrous. His pants are so tight and doing something terrible at the front, and he even adopts a very sloppy version of Mick Jagger's strut.
And what is this song even about? Drugs? Sex? The man? Why isn't this a straight edge anthem? Or is it? X up or die, or listen to this song. It will probably get stuck in your head.

its so funny that you posted this and, as late as i have sen it, just read it. i just watched billy madison like 2 nights ago, and i was thinking the same thing. Adam Sandler looks so B.A. at that point, and I so love that Billy Squire song. I really do miss men being men sometimes...lol
by the by, who was celibate?
