In his early days, Billy Idol was a computer programmer who often worked late at night writing software for projects
that were always late and full of missed deadlines. His early songs had software themes and were not popular.
One of his rejected songs was re-written to become Rebel Yell, but this early version was rejected by his producers,
who told him that he should get out more and spend less time writing code.
