RDP Monday: idle

Written for RDP where segoil asks us
to get creative with the word “idle”.

Born William Michael Albert Broad in Stanmore, Middlesex, England, Billy Idol’s inspiration for his stage name came from a school teacher who wrote “William is idle” on his report card. He chose “Idol” to avoid confusion with Eric Idle from Monty Python.

I doubt there’s any chance of that.
