Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio? Did you take Bon Scott with you?

I might be going off the plantation a little here, but I absolutely love AC/DC. Let me qualify. OLD SCHOOL AC/DC. A good friend of mine calls Van Halen audio Red Bull, and if you think about it, let it sink in you’ll find yourself saying “Abso F’n Lutely!” You get extra credit for saying it while throwing the metal salute. Points off if you're saying "Huh"?

Well, AC/DC for me is Jolt. A little dirty, a little raunchy, a little more trailer trash, but equally as good and satisfying. Try it sometime when you need a lift and you’ll find Bon Scott’s booze induced wail coupled with Angus Young’s rock strut will take you to the place you need to be.

I’m convinced Bon Scott and Keith Moon were nursed from the same mother. That immense sense of reckless abandon is mind boggling. According to the death certificate he died from Acute Alcohol Poisoning and Death by Misadventure?!? Who the hell dies from Death by Misadventure??

(For the record, Brian Johnson-led AC/DC doesn’t exist. Just a figment of your imagination. With the obvious exception of Back in Black. Damn that’s a masterpiece!)

Are these guys gonna win the Pulitzer Prize for such masterpieces as ‘’Big Balls’’? Please. But if you need a pick me up throw on Dirty Deeds, High Voltage, If You Want Blood You’ve Got It or Highway to Hell and get back to me. You’ll be glad you did. Give me a call when you’re done and I’ll have a smoke and a shot ready for you!
