Billy Idol Gone Wrong

by John Middleton

I have been called many things in my time, but “Billy Idol gone wrong” surely takes the cake! Look beyond the differences in fashion sense and demeanour, however, and his fans might be surprised to discover that my supposed antithesis and I actually have some things in common. A reflection on how we expatriates come to assimilate physically in our adopted countries either by accident or design.

From the eclectic series of essays, “Tokyo, From One to Infinity”, where the truth is often stranger than fiction.
