I know Billy’s catalog better than anyone but was never much into this song. 6 seems right. Some more fun context about his attitude in that era... 1) Billy used to tear up bad reviews onstage (lol) and 2) that Weird Al parody was apparently never released because Billy wouldn’t give his blessing — maybe the only time that’s ever happened? (Not a legal requirement ... Al just liked to get the band’s permission.)
Yes they are an OG BTW. We're done at least three interviews over the years!
