AC/DC’s Rhythm Rock Hero Malcolm Young Ends His Career

30 years after I saw the brothers Young do their thing, I cannot stop hearing those very same riffs. I’m at a pro baseball game. A relief pitcher enters the game as Hells Bells forces 40,000 people to come alive. A TV commercial for Walmart, another commercial for a car. Back in Black featured in the film, Iron Man. “Shook Me All Night Long”, “Thunderstruck”, “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap”, “Highway To Hell”, “For Those About to Rock We Salute You”, “Sin City”. In Target, I can buy AC/DC drinking glasses and a Fly On the Wall buckle belt. Original singer and lyricist Bon Scott would not believe his eyes and ears. He died from alcohol abuse about a year before Back in Black was made in 1980.

I was there. In Des Moines, IA. Twice. I love it when a true wordsmith works on a piece like this. I won’t have kids to share it with but I’ll show anyone there, older, younger, male or female, how to rockit.
