Billy Idol's Sweet Sixteen is actually based on a true story. In 1923, a 26 year old Latvian man named Edward Leedskalnin was jilted by his fiancee Agnes Scuffs (ten years his junior, whom he nicknamed Sweet Sixteen), the day before their wedding. Leedskalnin moved to South Miami, and in a failed attempt to win back the one he loved, he spent the next 25 years carving this structure ... known today as the Coral Castle in Homestead, Florida. |

In their late teens, young friends experiment with much heavier drugs than alcohol and marijuana. Family values -- taught and warned that drugs are bad, was always in the backs of their minds, so they were aware of and feared ... and miscalculated the danger. He was able to pull himself back from the edge and move on; however, Michelle's recreational use of drugs became a full blown addiction. While he was getting on with his life -- in his quest for success he was not around much to see warning signs that Michelle was spiraling out of control. Unaware that she hit rock bottom and was unable to bounce back, when Michelle's young, drug-addled life was cut short by an overdose, he was devastated and shocked ... he still misses her very much. He had no idea things were that bad ... he can't believe he didn't see it coming, and he's beating himself up over it. He feels selfish, partially responsible, and bears a tremendous amount guilt for not being there to intervene and possibly save her. |
