he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
How long Billy have you known Neon?
I've known this guy since before I was born.
Since before he was born.
He's the king of

Well he's inspired a younger generation of rockers
and he's given music some of its happiest moments.
And he's got a great book called
Neon Story.
He's got an album.
He's got his own dark glasses.
The king of the streets.
The New York streets from his album Yo Frankie.
