[Dog clanking]
3
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:09,000
Breaking down the best four songs.
4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:14,000
This, this, this is no-raw.
5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,000
Oh, check out the ripples on that gentleman.
6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Oh, it's like somebody from a folder in a pond,
7
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,000
that detail, they never expect commitment
8
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,000
and they try so hard in the set.
9
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,000
Plus, you're just so grateful afterwards.
10
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,000
Got me nailed down to a tee. How you doing everybody?
11
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,000
This is Mount Rockmore and welcome Bond's Disciples.
12
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,000
Are those of you calling yourself Bond Heads today?
13
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,000
We celebrate the end of a truly heartbreaking story.
14
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:46,000
But we do so celebrating the life of one of Rock's most influential
15
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,000
and as yet unduplicated frontmen,
16
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:55,000
the original singer for AC/DC that we know as Bond Scott.
17
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,000
Are you ready to climb up the Rockmore with me?
18
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,000
I am your host as we pay tribute to the four career defining songs
19
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,000
of one of the greatest to hold a microphone
20
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,000
with extremely tight jeans and rarely seen in a shirt.
21
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,000
And lead a high voltage rock band through hours of writing,
22
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,000
rehearsal and tours. All.
23
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:19,000
While only locking up seven albums that Bond Scott recorded with AC/DC.
24
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,000
Now, if you were so unlucky
25
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,000
as to have missed season two episode 11 of Mount Rockmore,
26
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,000
the AC/DC back in black Mount Rockmore.
27
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,000
That's right, the four career defining songs of that album.
28
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Or if you're snowed in now or weathered in whatever,
29
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,000
I'm not exactly sure depending on what part of the country
30
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,000
you're in, what's happening for you.
31
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,000
But if the storms from this week have kind of gotten it in for you,
32
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,000
then all you have to do is just ask your Alexa or Google device
33
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,000
and check out some of that back in black Mount Rockmore
34
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,000
or maybe like some of the other Mount Rockmore adventures, right?
35
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,000
You can also go to realguyradio.com.
36
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Like for instance, we took to the old school metal of Metallica,
37
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,000
but we didn't even do the black days. We did pre-black Metallica.
38
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,000
Oh yeah, none of that post-black crap.
39
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:11,000
Yet I say that with a very long and run out yet
40
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,000
and Creed got the four track climb up Mount Rockmore as well.
41
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000
Now, if you know, you know,
42
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,000
the best Bond Scott AC/DC songs,
43
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,000
Light in the sense of menace,
44
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,000
found within the band's lyrics and music with a sense of humor
45
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,000
and self-deprecation that made the singer so charismatic and beloved.
46
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,000
I mean, there were times where people thought AC/DC met
47
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,000
after Christ Devil comes that frankly,
48
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,000
the Devil was Bond Scott.
49
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,000
Because if you remember the highway to Hell album,
50
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,000
the horns on it said, "He looked a little loose of furish."
51
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,000
That's not a word, but I'm claiming it is such right here
52
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,000
I'm out Rockmore, so trademarked back.
53
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,000
And 45 years ago,
54
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,000
we lost this Rock and Roll legend.
55
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,000
February 19th, 1980.
56
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Later in the show, we'll get into exactly how Rock and Roll Bond actually was,
57
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,000
what he thought of his bandmates apparently
58
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,000
and will dig into how he may have died.
59
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,000
But because the Rock and Roll rumor mill is ripe with ideas,
60
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,000
there might be multiple people saying multiple things about the way he died.
61
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,000
But the circumstances of his death are still debated.
62
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:20,000
Was it Extriciation, Alcohol poisoning, hypothermia?
63
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,000
After a night of heavy drinking,
64
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:27,000
they found Bond Scott passed out in the back seat of a car in London
65
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,000
the next morning and not alive.
66
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,000
Let's just put it that way.
67
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,000
But rest assured, those lucky few Aussie greasers
68
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,000
who saw Bond Scott's first ever performance
69
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,000
with AC/DC in September of 1974 witnessed
70
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,000
a Rock and Roll rebirth.
71
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:52,000
Its nerves comprehensively drowned, anesthetized, and powdered.
72
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,000
According to AC/DC guitarist Angus Young,
73
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,000
this was Bond's first performance.
74
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Quote, "Bond downed about two bottles of bourbon
75
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,000
with dope coke speed and said, 'Right, I'm ready.'
76
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:07,000
Recalling his chaotic tryout at the Pukara Hotel in Adelaide.
77
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,000
There was this immediate transformation
78
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,000
he was running around with his wife's knickers on, yelling at the audience.
79
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,000
It was a magic moment. He said it made him feel young again."
80
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,000
There was a lot to unpack in that statement from Angus Young.
81
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,000
But I think the one thing that shocked me the most
82
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,000
was that Bond Scott was married.
83
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,000
He was running around with his wife's knickers on.
84
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,000
Little weird. I don't know why I thought he was just going to constantly be
85
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,000
like this proverbial single guy, but no, he was married.
86
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Who married Bond Scott? A few weeks later,
87
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Bond was inducted as a full-time member of AC/DC ahead of his official debut
88
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:47,000
at Rockdale's Masonic Hall on October 5th, 51 years ago.
89
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:52,000
And with that, neither Bond's life nor Rock itself
90
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,000
would ever be the same again.
91
00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Now, I am fully aware that I am not able to satisfy every Bond's army member
92
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,000
who bows before the dirty deeds crew, but I will try to do some Rockmore Justice
93
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,000
with the paint palette at my disposal.
94
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,000
So with the skin tight shirts, ripped-in 'em jeans, tattoo and attitude,
95
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:17,000
outwardly at least, of Brutus abandoned, Bond Scott epitomized the ragged rebellion
96
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:22,000
at the root of the fun, dumb and dangerous to know, hard rock music
97
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,000
that AC/DC pioneered in the '70s.
98
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,000
Let's face it, Bond Scott's body, funny and chant worthy lyrics,
99
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,000
AC/DC, found with that the formula that would carry them
100
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,000
to the highest echelons of Rockstartum.
101
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,000
Classics like it's a long way to the top if you want a rock and roll.
102
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,000
TNT!
103
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Dirty deeds done, dirtch-yping-day, all!
104
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,000
Paved the en-ramp for 1979's "High Way to Hell"
105
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,000
and its multi-platinum international success.
106
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,000
And listen folks, with a resume like that.
107
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000
Eh, ain't no debate.
108
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,000
You?
109
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,000
My friends?
110
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,000
Bond Scott?
111
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,000
Does it have a play?
112
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,000
So, let's get it out of the way.
113
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:12,000
This song, so you're all clear, is not, is not about a game of cards.
114
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,000
Despite what the official recorded lyrics might tell you.
115
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:21,000
In fact, it's among the worst-kept secrets in rock music that this track isn't about
116
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:30,000
an overly friendly house full of women that gave Bond Scott and his bandmates the clap.
117
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,000
Kids, ask your parents or fire up the old Google machine and search it out for yourself.
118
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:41,000
In concert, the band frequently spells things out just a bit more clearly with some different lyrics than you're about to hear.
119
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:48,000
But your play in on the Mount Rockmore of Bond Scott ACDC is the one and only.
120
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,000
Well, we call it the Jack.

220
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,000
Atlantic Records held off releasing "Dirty Beads" in the US until 1981.
221
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:44,000
It released in Europe in 1976. I'm doing the math that seems like about five years earlier.
222
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,000
Really bad at math. They also included this song on "Let There Be Rock"
223
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:58,000
likely because they didn't want "Crab City in Blue" which is a similar song with a very overt-tored towards STDs
224
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:06,000
with a very overt-tone towards STDs on their label so they needed another song.
225
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,000
Just think it's great that they had "Crab City in Blue" that now it is a big name for a band.
226
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:16,000
So the short answer to the question on which ACDC album was "Problem Child".
227
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:22,000
The song was originally released in the longer form on "Dirty Deeds Dunder Cheap" period end of list.
228
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:28,000
On the way, did any of those other songs that you heard me talk about earlier?
229
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:34,000
Are they making their way into the carving on Mount Rockmore?
230
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:42,000
And what did one music-trademagazine call a bone-crunching gut-wrenching exercise in primal guitar rock?
231
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:48,000
Oh, that'll be carved in all on the way on Mount Rockmore.
232
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:58,000
This is clearly not a metro-sexual moment in history.
233
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,000
Crazy horse.
234
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:06,000
Celebrated for his ferocity and battle, Crazy Horse was recognized among the Lakota Indians as a visionary leader.
235
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:12,000
In 1876, the U.S. War Department ordered all Lakota onto reservation and Crazy Horse? He didn't say "Let's share."
236
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:16,000
Let's hold hands and sing "Koombai YAH." He became a leader of the resistance.
237
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:24,000
Furthermore, he wrote in a battle on an angry Steve, not some pansy automobile like a VW bug or a PT-foozer.
238
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:28,000
Crazy Horse famously said "My lands are where my dead live buried."
239
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:32,000
A famous metro-sexual once said "My lands are where my prodigal loafers await purchase."
240
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:38,000
If around today, Crazy Horse would kick that guy's ass. This has been Lee Camp for more funny crap.

You are a Mally Pirate Hooker.

-Hmm, what? -Russian.
249
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,000
That's nice, honey. That's my little girl.
250

252
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,000
One to five stars on iTunes. I'm Bauer and give us one star.
253
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:32,000
If you only think AC/DC is capable of playing the same three chords in every song.
254
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:38,000
Five stars. If you know it doesn't matter as long as the singer is screaming their heart out.
255
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:42,000
Here's the thing about Bond Scott. Back in his day.
256
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,000
Ladies, he was considered sexy.
257
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:50,000
Oh, the ladies loving he was sexy enough for the girls. Yet tough enough for the bikers.
258
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:58,000
He was an icon of rock and roll life, roaring about sex, booze, and the rock and roll directly from the gutter.
259
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:16,000
His piercing squeals and lock up your daughter's learicism, literally those words, often delivered with a lascivious smirk became the definitive blueprint of what a rock lead singer should look like, act like, feel like and sound like for the coming decades.
260
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:24,000
Sadly, he also came to define rock and roll's most classic trajectory of addiction and tragedy.
261
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:38,000
It was in tribute to Scott who died at age 33 from alcohol poisoning that in 1980 back in black released the same year he died became the second best selling album of all time.
262
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:50,000
Find only Michael Jackson's thriller. However, it's the title track from Bond Scott's final album with ACDC that has become a unifying anthem for rock and rollers all over the world.
263
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:58,000
We talked about it earlier, the drawbacks of life on the road, a sense that he's flirting with the zaster which he always seemed to be.
264
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:06,000
They were once again mentioned in Scott's lyrics, but this time the tone is almost fully defiant and celebratory.
265
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:12,000
Number two on the Mount Rock more of ACDC starring Bond Scott is highway.
266
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:22,000
(music)
267
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:40,000
There is a loving feeling, season decodal lonely, and there's nothing leaving me, take out of the darkness of the spine, don't be reason, don't be right.
268
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:54,000
And nothing that ever ever do, go and go for the time, my friends are gonna be there too.
269
00:24:54,000 --> 00:25:14,000
I'm gonna highway the hill, I'm gonna highway the hill, highway the hill.
270
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:30,000
No stop signs, speed limit, nobody's gonna slow me down, let go we are gonna spin it, nobody's gonna mess me around.
271
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:48,000
Hey, Shyshaw, where my shoes, where my rock and band, hey my mom, love that lead, I'm not that way until the promise ends.
272
00:25:48,000 --> 00:26:14,000
I'm gonna highway the hill, highway the hill, highway the hill, highway the hill, no stop signs, let go.
273
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:30,000
(music)
274
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:46,580
I'll wait a hell for you, I'll wait a hell for you, I'll wait a hell for you, I'll wait a hell for you, I'll wait a hell for you
275
00:26:46,580 --> 00:26:53,980
I'll wait until I know how it goes I'll wait until I know how it goes
276
00:26:53,980 --> 00:26:57,700
I'll wait until I know how it goes
277
00:26:57,700 --> 00:27:02,980
I'll wait until I know how it goes
278
00:27:02,980 --> 00:27:08,980
And I'm going down
279
00:27:08,980 --> 00:27:12,620
All the way
280
00:27:12,620 --> 00:27:19,620
All the way
281
00:27:19,620 --> 00:27:27,620
All the way
282
00:27:27,620 --> 00:27:34,540
Music trade magazine cashbox called that track a bone crunching, gut wrenching exercise
283
00:27:34,540 --> 00:27:40,460
in primal guitar rock with simple get effective riffing and ballsy vocals.
284
00:27:40,460 --> 00:27:46,380
Third world said that growling vocals join a raunchy guitar assault for simple high voltage
285
00:27:46,380 --> 00:27:53,020
rock and roll abandon and the single highway to hell spent 45 weeks on the German singles
286
00:27:53,020 --> 00:27:57,460
chart peaked at number 30 and its 19th week on the chart and then
287
00:27:57,460 --> 00:28:03,020
Bonscott was found dead in the back of a friend's car just over six months after the
288
00:28:03,020 --> 00:28:04,380
song was released.
289
00:28:04,380 --> 00:28:10,420
Well, right now we are halfway through the Mount Rushmore of Bonscott songs with
290
00:28:10,420 --> 00:28:17,420
two songs yet to go, but first it is time for an official Bonscott today you learnt.
291
00:28:17,420 --> 00:28:29,220
Today you learnt after ACDC vocalist Bonscott died of alcohol poisoning, which some people
292
00:28:29,220 --> 00:28:34,100
still question, the band considered disbanding.
293
00:28:34,100 --> 00:28:40,880
Its parents Bonscott's folks requested that they not disband so they went out hired Brian
294
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:45,900
Johnson as their new frontman and made back in black which became the second best selling
295
00:28:45,900 --> 00:28:49,820
album of all time.
296
00:28:49,820 --> 00:28:55,420
Now Bonscott liked Malcolm and Angus Young the young brothers, but thought they were too
297
00:28:55,420 --> 00:28:58,900
inexperienced and too young to rock.
298
00:28:58,900 --> 00:29:02,540
The young brothers replied with saying Scott was too old to rock.
299
00:29:02,540 --> 00:29:05,700
Scott had to make everybody feel good and make it extremely comfortable.
300
00:29:05,700 --> 00:29:10,100
I'm bowling night for ACDC, but after one jam session with each other, it was obvious
301
00:29:10,100 --> 00:29:15,260
ACDC found its new lead singer.
302
00:29:15,260 --> 00:29:20,620
Now apparently today you learnt that Bonscott found his fellow ACDC bandmates boring.
303
00:29:20,620 --> 00:29:26,620
Obviously, thought they were too inexperienced and too young to rock, but back in 1976 they
304
00:29:26,620 --> 00:29:29,580
wouldn't let him drink or let groupies on their tour bus.
305
00:29:29,580 --> 00:29:34,900
This according to YNT frontman Dave Mennon Kettie who just for a simple plug here, we have
306
00:29:34,900 --> 00:29:38,380
already done in season one YNT's Mount Rockmore.
307
00:29:38,380 --> 00:29:40,300
You can find that in season one as well.
308
00:29:40,300 --> 00:29:44,100
But Mennon Kettie, Dave Mennon Kettie talked about Scott's request saying quote, "The very
309
00:29:44,100 --> 00:29:46,860
first day we did a soundtrack together, Bons came back.
310
00:29:46,860 --> 00:29:49,540
He was like, 'What are you guys traveling in?'
311
00:29:49,540 --> 00:29:52,900
We showed him and he was like, 'Would you mind if I come with you?'
312
00:29:52,900 --> 00:29:57,380
He continued by saying that Scott was willing to sit on the floor of their van to get some
313
00:29:57,380 --> 00:29:58,660
excitement.'
314
00:29:58,660 --> 00:30:03,220
So Bonscott told them these guys are really boring, meaning his young brothers in ACDC.
315
00:30:03,220 --> 00:30:06,180
They won't let me drink, they won't let any groupies on the bus.
316
00:30:06,180 --> 00:30:09,460
He figured he was going to have more fun with us, with YNT.
317
00:30:09,460 --> 00:30:17,260
And according to Dave Mennon Kettie, I'm absolutely certain that he did.
318
00:30:17,260 --> 00:30:22,740
Today you learnt that when Bonscott of ACDC first saw Brian Johnson, his eventual replacement
319
00:30:22,740 --> 00:30:29,160
performed, he told the boys in ACDC how great Brian Johnson was because he was on the floor
320
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,740
kicking and screaming while he was performing.
321
00:30:32,740 --> 00:30:36,420
Little did Bonscott know that Brian was on the floor kicking and screaming because at
322
00:30:36,420 --> 00:30:41,940
that moment he was suffering from appendicitis.
323
00:30:41,940 --> 00:30:47,660
And lastly today you learned the national trust of Australia decreed Bonscott's grave important
324
00:30:47,660 --> 00:30:56,300
enough to be included on the list of classified heritage places in Australia.
325
00:30:56,300 --> 00:31:06,220
And that was a Bonscott today you learnt.
326
00:31:06,220 --> 00:31:08,340
Well let's get ready for more carving, shall we?
327
00:31:08,340 --> 00:31:12,820
The next song carved into the mountainside proves, 'Size does matter.'
328
00:31:12,820 --> 00:31:17,900
It's a song about an obese Tasmanian woman, with whom Bonscott had a one night stand at
329
00:31:17,900 --> 00:31:21,140
the Freeway Gardens Motel in North Melbourne.
330
00:31:21,140 --> 00:31:22,140
Such a romantic night.
331
00:31:22,140 --> 00:31:25,700
In addition to pointing out the woman's size, the singer finds her to be one of the most
332
00:31:25,700 --> 00:31:28,620
talented lovers he's ever experienced.
333
00:31:28,620 --> 00:31:34,060
The song's first verse reveals her substantial physical measurements and that she weighs 19
334
00:31:34,060 --> 00:31:38,220
stone or as that figures out it's 266 pounds.
335
00:31:38,220 --> 00:31:44,140
On the live from the Atlantic Studios disc however, Bonscott describes the woman as quote a Tasmanian
336
00:31:44,140 --> 00:31:46,500
devil that she weighed 305 pounds.
337
00:31:46,500 --> 00:31:49,700
A measurement different from the 19 stone lyric.
338
00:31:49,700 --> 00:31:55,340
In 1998, speaking of OX magazine, Angus Young remembered that they'd been in Tasmanian
339
00:31:55,340 --> 00:31:58,380
after the show Bonscott said he was going to check out a few clubs.
340
00:31:58,380 --> 00:32:02,380
He said he'd got about a hundred yards down the street when he heard this yell, 'Hey
341
00:32:02,380 --> 00:32:03,380
Bons!'
342
00:32:03,380 --> 00:32:08,180
And he looked around and saw this leg and thought, 'Well, from what he said, there was
343
00:32:08,180 --> 00:32:09,780
this woman and a friend of hers.
344
00:32:09,780 --> 00:32:13,580
They were playing him with drinks and this one woman kept saying to him, 'This month I've
345
00:32:13,580 --> 00:32:15,460
slept with 28 famous people.'
346
00:32:15,460 --> 00:32:17,300
And Bons went, 'Oh yeah?'
347
00:32:17,300 --> 00:32:21,780
Anyway in the morning, he said he woke up pinned against the wall and he opened one eye
348
00:32:21,780 --> 00:32:25,780
and saw her lean over to her friend and whisper, '29.'
349
00:32:25,780 --> 00:32:32,260
There's very few people who go out and write a song about a big fat lady but Bonscott
350
00:32:32,260 --> 00:32:34,540
said it was worthy.
351
00:32:34,540 --> 00:32:40,620
In 2021, the woman the song was written about was identified by British Australian AC/DC
352
00:32:40,620 --> 00:32:47,620
biographer Jesse Fink as Rose Marie or stylized as Rose Marie Garcia.
353
00:32:47,620 --> 00:32:53,660
An Australian sex worker who saw Bonscott for some time before he went to England.
354
00:32:53,660 --> 00:33:00,900
Rose was indeed born in Lungkonston, Tasmania, lived in St. Kilda and died in Melbourne at
355
00:33:00,900 --> 00:33:02,300
the age of 22.
356
00:33:02,300 --> 00:33:09,300
Number three on the Mount Rushmore of Bonscott's AC/DC is a whole lot of Rose.
357
00:33:09,300 --> 00:33:34,820
One toe, your story about a woman unknown, I come to love him, she's the other show.
358
00:33:34,820 --> 00:33:41,820
But I'm not exactly pretty, and exactly small.
359
00:33:41,820 --> 00:34:01,820
But I'm not exactly pretty, and I'm not exactly pretty, and I'm not exactly pretty.
360
00:34:01,820 --> 00:34:16,820
But I'm not exactly pretty, and I'm not exactly pretty, and I'm not exactly pretty.
361
00:34:16,820 --> 00:34:36,820
But I'm not exactly pretty, and I'm not exactly pretty, and I'm not exactly pretty.
362
00:34:36,820 --> 00:34:51,820
But I'm not exactly pretty pretty, and I'm not exactly pretty pretty, and I'm not exactly pretty.
363
00:34:51,820 --> 00:34:56,100
Oh we won't do, we won't do know
364
00:34:56,100 --> 00:35:03,940
Oh if you would have made sense, I'd matter around the clock
365
00:35:03,940 --> 00:35:33,900
Oh if you would have made sense, I'd matter around the clock
366
00:35:33,900 --> 00:36:03,860
Oh if you would have made sense, I'd matter around the clock
367
00:36:03,860 --> 00:36:19,820
Oh if you would have made sense, I'd matter around the clock
368
00:36:19,820 --> 00:36:49,780
Oh if you would have made sense, I'd matter around the clock
369
00:36:49,780 --> 00:37:05,740
Oh if you would have made sense, I'd matter around the clock
370
00:37:05,740 --> 00:37:21,700
Oh if you would have made sense, I'd matter around the clock
371
00:37:21,700 --> 00:37:37,660
Oh if you would have made sense, I'd matter around the clock
372
00:37:37,660 --> 00:38:07,620
Oh if you would have made sense, I'd matter around the clock
373
00:38:07,620 --> 00:38:28,900
Oh
374
00:38:28,900 --> 00:38:32,860
Whole lot of Rosie is the eighth and final track on the band's fourth Australian album
375
00:38:32,860 --> 00:38:38,540
Let There Be Rock released in Australia in March 1977 and was written by Angus Malcolm
376
00:38:38,540 --> 00:38:43,380
Young and Bond Scott is also the eighth and final track on the international version
377
00:38:43,380 --> 00:38:46,940
of the album released in June the same year.
378
00:38:46,940 --> 00:38:51,540
When you have all kinds of hits spanning seven albums, you're bound to have songs that
379
00:38:51,540 --> 00:39:01,500
did not make the Mount Rock more cut, so in memoriam we salute you big balls out on the
380
00:39:01,500 --> 00:39:08,180
wacky rock radio morning show planes, you're always, always, always, health for pleasure in
381
00:39:08,180 --> 00:39:14,740
our minds and then spayed out before you decaying in the dry desert winds are the likes of dirty
382
00:39:14,740 --> 00:39:22,100
deeds done, dirt cheap, TNT and the biblical let there be rock.
383
00:39:22,100 --> 00:39:28,420
Oh man, let's turn to face the mountains, because on the way the one song that could piss off
384
00:39:28,420 --> 00:39:32,700
your parents more than the distorted rock coming out of your boom box?
385
00:39:32,700 --> 00:39:45,140
Oh yeah, that's next on Mount Rock more.
386
00:39:45,140 --> 00:39:49,300
The Minnesota activists are out in full force today to protest a new bill that would band
387
00:39:49,300 --> 00:39:51,580
marriage between people who don't love each other.
388
00:39:51,580 --> 00:39:55,420
Minnesota Governor Tim Bolland expressed his intention to sign the bill earlier this week,
389
00:39:55,420 --> 00:39:59,500
saying, quote, "I believe the definition of marriage is a union between two people who love
390
00:39:59,500 --> 00:40:00,500
each other."
391
00:40:00,500 --> 00:40:04,500
In addition to outlawing future loveless unions, the so-called "purity of marriage" act
392
00:40:04,500 --> 00:40:08,700
but also note why it estimated 53% of marriages in Minnesota.
393
00:40:08,700 --> 00:40:12,780
Loveless couples gathered at the state capital today to voice their opinion that all couples
394
00:40:12,780 --> 00:40:16,340
have a right to be married, not just those who can stand each other's company.
395
00:40:16,340 --> 00:40:20,220
"Beth and I have been sitting silently in front of the TV set for 20 years.
396
00:40:20,220 --> 00:40:22,060
You can't tell me that's not marriage."
397
00:40:22,060 --> 00:40:34,020
Our feelings and cold dependence are just as strong as the happy couples love.
398
00:40:34,020 --> 00:40:37,660
Joining us now from St. Paul is on your news network, legal expert Olivia Walker.
399
00:40:37,660 --> 00:40:38,660
Hi, David.
400
00:40:38,660 --> 00:40:42,380
This is a real surprise since Minnesota has long been considered a real meccaful, loveless
401
00:40:42,380 --> 00:40:43,380
couples.
402
00:40:43,380 --> 00:40:46,620
Right, the state is full of bland suburbs and buffet restaurants serving endless piles
403
00:40:46,620 --> 00:40:49,860
of food, which loveless couples used to fill the void in their homes.
404
00:40:49,860 --> 00:40:51,700
Where is the support for this bill coming from?
405
00:40:51,700 --> 00:40:55,580
Well, the bill's supporters say for too long they've had to watch these people flaunt their
406
00:40:55,580 --> 00:41:00,220
lovelessness, bickering over which peanut butter to buy and grocery stores and violently brushing
407
00:41:00,220 --> 00:41:01,620
linoff with each other's jackets.
408
00:41:01,620 --> 00:41:04,860
So, to them, these miserable couples offend the very idea of marriage.
409
00:41:04,860 --> 00:41:05,860
That's right.
410
00:41:05,860 --> 00:41:08,660
There have been reports from around the state of loveless couples suffering harassment,
411
00:41:08,660 --> 00:41:09,660
big evangelism.
412
00:41:09,660 --> 00:41:13,380
Olivia, what about the people who argue that loveless couples can still live together on
413
00:41:13,380 --> 00:41:14,380
happily?
414
00:41:14,380 --> 00:41:15,380
Not even.
415
00:41:15,380 --> 00:41:17,260
Their sexless unions aren't technically considered marriage.
416
00:41:17,260 --> 00:41:19,580
Well, marriage has legal implications as well.
417
00:41:19,580 --> 00:41:24,140
For instance, if one member of a loveless couple got sick, their spouse could no longer visit
418
00:41:24,140 --> 00:41:28,180
them in the hospital to berate them about how much that medical bill was going to cost.
419
00:41:28,180 --> 00:41:32,260
Well, Olivia, not so long ago, loveless couples felt they had to hide, but the crowds there
420
00:41:32,260 --> 00:41:36,300
today showed that many people are now comfortable with being openly indifferent to their spouses.
421
00:41:36,300 --> 00:41:37,300
That's right.
422
00:41:37,300 --> 00:41:41,580
As recently as the 1970s, loveless couples were sent to camps where it was believed they
423
00:41:41,580 --> 00:41:46,220
could be cured of their lovelessness by undergoing group therapy and sharing exercises.
424
00:41:46,220 --> 00:41:49,540
But even if the Minnesota law passes, loveless marriage activists will almost
425
00:41:49,540 --> 00:41:51,780
certainly try to bring this one before the Supreme Court.
426
00:41:51,780 --> 00:41:56,300
Right, and there it could face a lot of opposition, at least for the justices, a rumored to be
427
00:41:56,300 --> 00:41:57,860
in loveless marriages themselves.
428
00:41:57,860 --> 00:42:00,020
Yeah, well, thanks for the update, Olivia.
429
00:42:00,020 --> 00:42:03,460
And later in the hour, we'll talk to our economic sexist, Joshua Russell, who says a
430
00:42:03,460 --> 00:42:07,820
ban on loveless marriage could cripple the already flagging cruise ship industry.
431
00:42:07,820 --> 00:42:12,060
But first, Shyla Buff has decided to deal with Paramount to ruin another one of your childhood
432
00:42:12,060 --> 00:42:18,260
memories.
433
00:42:18,260 --> 00:42:22,060
Welcome back to Mount Rockmore.
434
00:42:22,060 --> 00:42:26,700
It's final carving time on the Mount Rockmore of Bond Scott.
435
00:42:26,700 --> 00:42:29,580
First, we ask you to visit our website, realguyradio.com.
436
00:42:29,580 --> 00:42:34,340
You can hit up our shop, complete with Mount Rockmore t-shirts, sweat shirts and other gear.
437
00:42:34,340 --> 00:42:39,380
I'm in the process of trying to get us some tank tops so you can sport that sleeveless
438
00:42:39,380 --> 00:42:43,900
this spring and summer, or you happen to be in the south part of the US already.
439
00:42:43,900 --> 00:42:45,820
You might just want to get the tank tops on now.
440
00:42:45,820 --> 00:42:50,860
So it's pretty warm, like 80 degrees watching some softball games in Louisiana today.
441
00:42:50,860 --> 00:42:51,860
I'm Bauer.
442
00:42:51,860 --> 00:42:54,980
I know I was a nightmare to my parents.
443
00:42:54,980 --> 00:42:59,620
They would never admit it, but my electric guitar, which was usually out of tune, no doubt,
444
00:42:59,620 --> 00:43:04,660
and trying to keep up with the volume of my record player through my little mini app,
445
00:43:04,660 --> 00:43:07,500
man, I was a terror to them.
446
00:43:07,500 --> 00:43:10,900
And I played it all through my kick-ass stereo system.
447
00:43:10,900 --> 00:43:14,620
Kids ask your parents about stereo system, so fill you in on that a little bit.
448
00:43:14,620 --> 00:43:21,180
And that was one song that could be worse for them to hear than the wailing of Bond, Scott
449
00:43:21,180 --> 00:43:22,660
and ACDC.
450
00:43:22,660 --> 00:43:27,420
And that is our final song being carved into Mount Rockmore.
451
00:43:27,420 --> 00:43:28,420
Why?
452
00:43:28,420 --> 00:43:30,180
One word.
453
00:43:30,180 --> 00:43:31,180
Bagpipes.
454
00:43:31,180 --> 00:43:32,180
Wait, is that...
455
00:43:32,180 --> 00:43:33,180
I'm asking the producers.
456
00:43:33,180 --> 00:43:35,500
Is that one word or two words?
457
00:43:35,500 --> 00:43:40,820
Is it bagpipes or bag thenpipes?
458
00:43:40,820 --> 00:43:42,900
We're sure?
459
00:43:42,900 --> 00:43:45,460
Okay, according to Wikipedia, it's one word.
460
00:43:45,460 --> 00:43:51,740
So either way, Bond Scott blaring away in the bagpipes at the top of that shitty racket
461
00:43:51,740 --> 00:43:56,980
as he does this song, served as a time-lone reminder of the years of hard work that go
462
00:43:56,980 --> 00:43:59,700
into becoming an overnight success in the music industry.
463
00:43:59,700 --> 00:44:01,420
So get your pipes ready.
464
00:44:01,420 --> 00:44:10,620
Our last track on the Bond Scott Mount Rockmore is, it's a long way to the top.
465
00:44:10,620 --> 00:44:13,700

let me play it for you

because back before
554
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:14,920
Bon was in ACDC
555
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:16,920
he was in a band called
556
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:17,920
Fraternity
557
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:20,920
not only did he sing in Fraternity
558
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:23,920
but also apparently he played
559
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:25,920
the recorder
560
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:27,920

In 1970 Bon Scott moved to Adelaide
571
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:02,920
and joined the progressive rock group

574
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:09,920
what playing in a progressive rock group did to you
575
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:11,920
it made you join ACDC
576
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:14,920
and then just crush it professionally
577
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:16,920
he joined Fraternity
578
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:18,920
who released the LP Live Stock
579
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:20,920
and then also a second album
580
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:22,920
called Flaming Gala
581
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:25,920
before touring the UK in 1973
582
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:27,920
where they changed their name to Fang
583
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,920
because apparently Fraternity wasn't cool enough
584
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:32,920
man that's amazing
585
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:35,920
alright that's it for this episode of Mount Rockmore
586
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:38,920

co-host and join me for some stage diving right into upcoming Rockmore
596
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:56,920
and if you knew that during the time
597
00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:58,920
Fraternity played support slots
598
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:00,920
for bands like Status Quo
599
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:02,920
and Jordy
600
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:05,920
Jordy's frontman at that time was
601
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:06,920
Brian Johnson
602
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:09,920

605
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:14,920
so you're feeling that
606
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:17,920
it was Bon Scott opening for Brian Johnson
607
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:20,920

Now, if you know, you know,
42
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,000
the best Bond Scott AC/DC songs,
43
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,000
Light in the sense of menace,
44
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,000
found within the band's lyrics and music with a sense of humor
45
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,000
and self-deprecation that made the singer so charismatic and beloved.
46
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,000
I mean, there were times where people thought AC/DC met
47
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,000
after Christ Devil comes that frankly,
48
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,000
the Devil was Bond Scott.
49
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,000
Because if you remember the highway to Hell album,
50
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,000
the horns on it said, "He looked a little loose of furish."
51
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,000
That's not a word, but I'm claiming it is such right here
52
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,000
I'm out Rockmore, so trademarked back.
53
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,000
And 45 years ago,

00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,000
we lost this Rock and Roll legend.

February 19th, 1980.
56
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Later in the show, we'll get into exactly how Rock and Roll Bond actually was,
57
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,000
what he thought of his bandmates apparently
58
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,000
and will dig into how he may have died.
59
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,000
But because the Rock and Roll rumor mill is ripe with ideas,
60
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,000
there might be multiple people saying multiple things about the way he died.
61
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,000
But the circumstances of his death are still debated.
62
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:20,000
Was it Extriciation, Alcohol poisoning, hypothermia?

00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,000
the next morning and not alive.
66
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,000
Let's just put it that way.

00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,000
But rest assured, those lucky few Aussie greasers
68

69
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,000

According to AC/DC guitarist Angus Young,
73
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,000
this was Bond's first performance.
74
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Quote, "Bond downed about two bottles of bourbon
75
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,000
with dope coke speed and said, 'Right, I'm ready.'
76
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:07,000
Recalling his chaotic tryout at the Pukara Hotel in Adelaide.
77
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,000
There was this immediate transformation
78
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,000
he was running around with his wife's knickers on, yelling at the audience.
79
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,000
It was a magic moment. He said it made him feel young again."
80
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,000
There was a lot to unpack in that statement from Angus Young.
81
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,000
But I think the one thing that shocked me the most
82
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,000
was that Bond Scott was married.
83
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,000
He was running around with his wife's knickers on.
84
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,000
Little weird. I don't know why I thought he was just going to constantly be
85
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,000
like this proverbial single guy, but no, he was married.
86
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Who married Bond Scott? A few weeks later,
87
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Bond was inducted as a full-time member of AC/DC ahead of his official debut
88
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:47,000
at Rockdale's Masonic Hall on October 5th, 51 years ago.
89
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:52,000
And with that, neither Bond's life nor Rock itself
90
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,000
would ever be the same again.
91
00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Now, I am fully aware that I am not able to satisfy every Bond's army member
92
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,000
who bows before the dirty deeds crew, but I will try to do some Rockmore Justice
93
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,000
with the paint palette at my disposal.
94
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,000
So with the skin tight shirts, ripped-in 'em jeans, tattoo and attitude,
95
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:17,000
outwardly at least, of Brutus abandoned, Bond Scott epitomized the ragged rebellion
96
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:22,000
at the root of the fun, dumb and dangerous to know, hard rock music
97
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,000
that AC/DC pioneered in the '70s.
98
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,000
Let's face it, Bond Scott's body, funny and chant worthy lyrics,
99
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,000
AC/DC, found with that the formula that would carry them
100
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,000
to the highest echelons of Rockstartum.
101
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,000
Classics like it's a long way to the top if you want a rock and roll.
102
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,000
TNT!
103
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Dirty deeds done, dirtch-yping-day, all!
104
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,000
Paved the en-ramp for 1979's "High Way to Hell"
105
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,000
and its multi-platinum international success.
106
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,000
And listen folks, with a resume like that.
107
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000
Eh, ain't no debate.
108
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,000
You?
109
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,000
My friends?
110
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,000
Bond Scott?
111
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,000
Does it have a play?
112
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,000
So, let's get it out of the way.
113
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:12,000
This song, so you're all clear, is not, is not about a game of cards.
114
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,000
Despite what the official recorded lyrics might tell you.
115
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:21,000
In fact, it's among the worst-kept secrets in rock music that this track isn't about
116
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:30,000
an overly friendly house full of women that gave Bond Scott and his bandmates the clap.
117
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,000
Kids, ask your parents or fire up the old Google machine and search it out for yourself.
118
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:41,000
In concert, the band frequently spells things out just a bit more clearly with some different lyrics than you're about to hear.
119
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:48,000
But your play in on the Mount Rockmore of Bond Scott ACDC is the one and only.
120
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,000
Well, we call it the Jack.

220
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,000
Atlantic Records held off releasing "Dirty Beads" in the US until 1981.
221
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:44,000
It released in Europe in 1976. I'm doing the math that seems like about five years earlier.
222
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,000
Really bad at math. They also included this song on "Let There Be Rock"
223
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:58,000
likely because they didn't want "Crab City in Blue" which is a similar song with a very overt-tored towards STDs
224
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:06,000
with a very overt-tone towards STDs on their label so they needed another song.
225
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,000
Just think it's great that they had "Crab City in Blue" that now it is a big name for a band.
226
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:16,000
So the short answer to the question on which ACDC album was "Problem Child".
227
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:22,000
The song was originally released in the longer form on "Dirty Deeds Dunder Cheap" period end of list.
228
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:28,000
On the way, did any of those other songs that you heard me talk about earlier?
229
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:34,000
Are they making their way into the carving on Mount Rockmore?
230
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:42,000
And what did one music-trademagazine call a bone-crunching gut-wrenching exercise in primal guitar rock?
231
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:48,000
Oh, that'll be carved in all on the way on Mount Rockmore.
232
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:58,000
This is clearly not a metro-sexual moment in history.
233
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,000
Crazy horse.
234
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:06,000
Celebrated for his ferocity and battle, Crazy Horse was recognized among the Lakota Indians as a visionary leader.
235
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:12,000
In 1876, the U.S. War Department ordered all Lakota onto reservation and Crazy Horse? He didn't say "Let's share."
236
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:16,000
Let's hold hands and sing "Koombai YAH." He became a leader of the resistance.
237
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:24,000
Furthermore, he wrote in a battle on an angry Steve, not some pansy automobile like a VW bug or a PT-foozer.
238
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:28,000
Crazy Horse famously said "My lands are where my dead live buried."
239
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:32,000
A famous metro-sexual once said "My lands are where my prodigal loafers await purchase."
240
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:38,000
If around today, Crazy Horse would kick that guy's ass. This has been Lee Camp for more funny crap.

00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:32,000
If you only think AC/DC is capable of playing the same three chords in every song.
254
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:38,000
Five stars. If you know it doesn't matter as long as the singer is screaming their heart out.
255
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:42,000
Here's the thing about Bond Scott. Back in his day.
256
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,000
Ladies, he was considered sexy.
257
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:50,000
Oh, the ladies loving he was sexy enough for the girls. Yet tough enough for the bikers.
258
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:58,000
He was an icon of rock and roll life, roaring about sex, booze, and the rock and roll directly from the gutter.
259
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:16,000
His piercing squeals and lock up your daughter's learicism, literally those words, often delivered with a lascivious smirk became the definitive blueprint of what a rock lead singer should look like, act like, feel like and sound like for the coming decades.
260
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:24,000
Sadly, he also came to define rock and roll's most classic trajectory of addiction and tragedy.
261
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:38,000
It was in tribute to Scott who died at age 33 from alcohol poisoning that in 1980 back in black released the same year he died became the second best selling album of all time.
262
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:50,000
Find only Michael Jackson's thriller. However, it's the title track from Bond Scott's final album with ACDC that has become a unifying anthem for rock and rollers all over the world.
263
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:58,000
We talked about it earlier, the drawbacks of life on the road, a sense that he's flirting with the zaster which he always seemed to be.
264
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:06,000
They were once again mentioned in Scott's lyrics, but this time the tone is almost fully defiant and celebratory.
265
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:12,000
Number two on the Mount Rock more of ACDC starring Bond Scott is highway.
266
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:22,000
(music)
267
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:40,000
There is a loving feeling, season decodal lonely, and there's nothing leaving me, take out of the darkness of the spine, don't be reason, don't be right.
268
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:54,000
And nothing that ever ever do, go and go for the time, my friends are gonna be there too.
269
00:24:54,000 --> 00:25:14,000
I'm gonna highway the hill, I'm gonna highway the hill, highway the hill.
270
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:30,000
No stop signs, speed limit, nobody's gonna slow me down, let go we are gonna spin it, nobody's gonna mess me around.
271
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:48,000
Hey, Shyshaw, where my shoes, where my rock and band, hey my mom, love that lead, I'm not that way until the promise ends.
272
00:25:48,000 --> 00:26:14,000
I'm gonna highway the hill, highway the hill, highway the hill, highway the hill, no stop signs, let go.
273
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:30,000
(music)
274
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:46,580
I'll wait a hell for you, I'll wait a hell for you, I'll wait a hell for you, I'll wait a hell for you, I'll wait a hell for you
275
00:26:46,580 --> 00:26:53,980
I'll wait until I know how it goes I'll wait until I know how it goes
276
00:26:53,980 --> 00:26:57,700
I'll wait until I know how it goes
277
00:26:57,700 --> 00:27:02,980
I'll wait until I know how it goes
278
00:27:02,980 --> 00:27:08,980
And I'm going down
279
00:27:08,980 --> 00:27:12,620
All the way
280
00:27:12,620 --> 00:27:19,620
All the way
281
00:27:19,620 --> 00:27:27,620
All the way
282
00:27:27,620 --> 00:27:34,540
Music trade magazine cashbox called that track a bone crunching, gut wrenching exercise
283
00:27:34,540 --> 00:27:40,460
in primal guitar rock with simple get effective riffing and ballsy vocals.
284
00:27:40,460 --> 00:27:46,380
Third world said that growling vocals join a raunchy guitar assault for simple high voltage
285
00:27:46,380 --> 00:27:53,020
rock and roll abandon and the single highway to hell spent 45 weeks on the German singles
286
00:27:53,020 --> 00:27:57,460
chart peaked at number 30 and its 19th week on the chart and then
287
00:27:57,460 --> 00:28:03,020
Bonscott was found dead in the back of a friend's car just over six months after the
288
00:28:03,020 --> 00:28:04,380
song was released.
289
00:28:04,380 --> 00:28:10,420
Well, right now we are halfway through the Mount Rushmore of Bonscott songs with
290
00:28:10,420 --> 00:28:17,420
two songs yet to go, but first it is time for an official Bonscott today you learnt.
291
00:28:17,420 --> 00:28:29,220
Today you learnt after ACDC vocalist Bonscott died of alcohol poisoning, which some people
292
00:28:29,220 --> 00:28:34,100
still question, the band considered disbanding.
293
00:28:34,100 --> 00:28:40,880
Its parents Bonscott's folks requested that they not disband so they went out hired Brian
294
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:45,900
Johnson as their new frontman and made back in black which became the second best selling
295
00:28:45,900 --> 00:28:49,820
album of all time.
296
00:28:49,820 --> 00:28:55,420
Now Bonscott liked Malcolm and Angus Young the young brothers, but thought they were too
297
00:28:55,420 --> 00:28:58,900
inexperienced and too young to rock.
298
00:28:58,900 --> 00:29:02,540
The young brothers replied with saying Scott was too old to rock.
299
00:29:02,540 --> 00:29:05,700
Scott had to make everybody feel good and make it extremely comfortable.
300
00:29:05,700 --> 00:29:10,100
I'm bowling night for ACDC, but after one jam session with each other, it was obvious
301
00:29:10,100 --> 00:29:15,260
ACDC found its new lead singer.
302
00:29:15,260 --> 00:29:20,620
Now apparently today you learnt that Bonscott found his fellow ACDC bandmates boring.
303
00:29:20,620 --> 00:29:26,620
Obviously, thought they were too inexperienced and too young to rock, but back in 1976 they
304
00:29:26,620 --> 00:29:29,580
wouldn't let him drink or let groupies on their tour bus.
305
00:29:29,580 --> 00:29:34,900
This according to YNT frontman Dave Mennon Kettie who just for a simple plug here, we have
306
00:29:34,900 --> 00:29:38,380
already done in season one YNT's Mount Rockmore.
307
00:29:38,380 --> 00:29:40,300
You can find that in season one as well.
308
00:29:40,300 --> 00:29:44,100
But Mennon Kettie, Dave Mennon Kettie talked about Scott's request saying quote, "The very
309
00:29:44,100 --> 00:29:46,860
first day we did a soundtrack together, Bons came back.
310
00:29:46,860 --> 00:29:49,540
He was like, 'What are you guys traveling in?'
311
00:29:49,540 --> 00:29:52,900
We showed him and he was like, 'Would you mind if I come with you?'
312
00:29:52,900 --> 00:29:57,380
He continued by saying that Scott was willing to sit on the floor of their van to get some
313
00:29:57,380 --> 00:29:58,660
excitement.'
314
00:29:58,660 --> 00:30:03,220
So Bonscott told them these guys are really boring, meaning his young brothers in ACDC.
315
00:30:03,220 --> 00:30:06,180
They won't let me drink, they won't let any groupies on the bus.
316
00:30:06,180 --> 00:30:09,460
He figured he was going to have more fun with us, with YNT.
317
00:30:09,460 --> 00:30:17,260
And according to Dave Mennon Kettie, I'm absolutely certain that he did.
318
00:30:17,260 --> 00:30:22,740
Today you learnt that when Bonscott of ACDC first saw Brian Johnson, his eventual replacement
319
00:30:22,740 --> 00:30:29,160
performed, he told the boys in ACDC how great Brian Johnson was because he was on the floor
320
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,740
kicking and screaming while he was performing.
321
00:30:32,740 --> 00:30:36,420
Little did Bonscott know that Brian was on the floor kicking and screaming because at
322
00:30:36,420 --> 00:30:41,940
that moment he was suffering from appendicitis.
323
00:30:41,940 --> 00:30:47,660
And lastly today you learned the national trust of Australia decreed Bonscott's grave important
324
00:30:47,660 --> 00:30:56,300
enough to be included on the list of classified heritage places in Australia.
325
00:30:56,300 --> 00:31:06,220
And that was a Bonscott today you learnt.
326
00:31:06,220 --> 00:31:08,340
Well let's get ready for more carving, shall we?
327
00:31:08,340 --> 00:31:12,820
The next song carved into the mountainside proves, 'Size does matter.'
328
00:31:12,820 --> 00:31:17,900
It's a song about an obese Tasmanian woman, with whom Bonscott had a one night stand at
329
00:31:17,900 --> 00:31:21,140
the Freeway Gardens Motel in North Melbourne.
330
00:31:21,140 --> 00:31:22,140
Such a romantic night.
331
00:31:22,140 --> 00:31:25,700
In addition to pointing out the woman's size, the singer finds her to be one of the most
332
00:31:25,700 --> 00:31:28,620
talented lovers he's ever experienced.
333
00:31:28,620 --> 00:31:34,060
The song's first verse reveals her substantial physical measurements and that she weighs 19
334
00:31:34,060 --> 00:31:38,220
stone or as that figures out it's 266 pounds.
335
00:31:38,220 --> 00:31:44,140
On the live from the Atlantic Studios disc however, Bonscott describes the woman as quote a Tasmanian
336
00:31:44,140 --> 00:31:46,500
devil that she weighed 305 pounds.
337
00:31:46,500 --> 00:31:49,700
A measurement different from the 19 stone lyric.
338
00:31:49,700 --> 00:31:55,340
In 1998, speaking of OX magazine, Angus Young remembered that they'd been in Tasmanian
339
00:31:55,340 --> 00:31:58,380
after the show Bonscott said he was going to check out a few clubs.
340
00:31:58,380 --> 00:32:02,380
He said he'd got about a hundred yards down the street when he heard this yell, 'Hey
341
00:32:02,380 --> 00:32:03,380
Bons!'
342
00:32:03,380 --> 00:32:08,180
And he looked around and saw this leg and thought, 'Well, from what he said, there was
343
00:32:08,180 --> 00:32:09,780
this woman and a friend of hers.
344
00:32:09,780 --> 00:32:13,580
They were playing him with drinks and this one woman kept saying to him, 'This month I've
345
00:32:13,580 --> 00:32:15,460
slept with 28 famous people.'
346
00:32:15,460 --> 00:32:17,300
And Bons went, 'Oh yeah?'
347
00:32:17,300 --> 00:32:21,780
Anyway in the morning, he said he woke up pinned against the wall and he opened one eye
348
00:32:21,780 --> 00:32:25,780
and saw her lean over to her friend and whisper, '29.'
349
00:32:25,780 --> 00:32:32,260
There's very few people who go out and write a song about a big fat lady but Bonscott
350
00:32:32,260 --> 00:32:34,540
said it was worthy.
351
00:32:34,540 --> 00:32:40,620
In 2021, the woman the song was written about was identified by British Australian AC/DC
352
00:32:40,620 --> 00:32:47,620
biographer Jesse Fink as Rose Marie or stylized as Rose Marie Garcia.
353
00:32:47,620 --> 00:32:53,660
An Australian sex worker who saw Bonscott for some time before he went to England.
354
00:32:53,660 --> 00:33:00,900
Rose was indeed born in Lungkonston, Tasmania, lived in St. Kilda and died in Melbourne at
355
00:33:00,900 --> 00:33:02,300
the age of 22.
356
00:33:02,300 --> 00:33:09,300
Number three on the Mount Rushmore of Bonscott's AC/DC is a whole lot of Rose.
357
00:33:09,300 --> 00:33:34,820
One toe, your story about a woman unknown, I come to love him, she's the other show.
358
00:33:34,820 --> 00:33:41,820
But I'm not exactly pretty, and exactly small.
359
00:33:41,820 --> 00:34:01,820
But I'm not exactly pretty, and I'm not exactly pretty, and I'm not exactly pretty.
360
00:34:01,820 --> 00:34:16,820
But I'm not exactly pretty, and I'm not exactly pretty, and I'm not exactly pretty.
361
00:34:16,820 --> 00:34:36,820
But I'm not exactly pretty, and I'm not exactly pretty, and I'm not exactly pretty.
362
00:34:36,820 --> 00:34:51,820
But I'm not exactly pretty pretty, and I'm not exactly pretty pretty, and I'm not exactly pretty.
363
00:34:51,820 --> 00:34:56,100
Oh we won't do, we won't do know
364
00:34:56,100 --> 00:35:03,940
Oh if you would have made sense, I'd matter around the clock
365
00:35:03,940 --> 00:35:33,900
Oh if you would have made sense, I'd matter around the clock
366
00:35:33,900 --> 00:36:03,860
Oh if you would have made sense, I'd matter around the clock
367
00:36:03,860 --> 00:36:19,820
Oh if you would have made sense, I'd matter around the clock
368
00:36:19,820 --> 00:36:49,780
Oh if you would have made sense, I'd matter around the clock
369
00:36:49,780 --> 00:37:05,740
Oh if you would have made sense, I'd matter around the clock
370
00:37:05,740 --> 00:37:21,700
Oh if you would have made sense, I'd matter around the clock
371
00:37:21,700 --> 00:37:37,660
Oh if you would have made sense, I'd matter around the clock
372
00:37:37,660 --> 00:38:07,620
Oh if you would have made sense, I'd matter around the clock
373
00:38:07,620 --> 00:38:28,900
Oh
374
00:38:28,900 --> 00:38:32,860
Whole lot of Rosie is the eighth and final track on the band's fourth Australian album
375
00:38:32,860 --> 00:38:38,540
Let There Be Rock released in Australia in March 1977 and was written by Angus Malcolm
376
00:38:38,540 --> 00:38:43,380
Young and Bond Scott is also the eighth and final track on the international version
377
00:38:43,380 --> 00:38:46,940
of the album released in June the same year.
378
00:38:46,940 --> 00:38:51,540
When you have all kinds of hits spanning seven albums, you're bound to have songs that
379
00:38:51,540 --> 00:39:01,500
did not make the Mount Rock more cut, so in memoriam we salute you big balls out on the
380
00:39:01,500 --> 00:39:08,180
wacky rock radio morning show planes, you're always, always, always, health for pleasure in
381
00:39:08,180 --> 00:39:14,740
our minds and then spayed out before you decaying in the dry desert winds are the likes of dirty
382
00:39:14,740 --> 00:39:22,100
deeds done, dirt cheap, TNT and the biblical let there be rock.
383
00:39:22,100 --> 00:39:28,420
Oh man, let's turn to face the mountains, because on the way the one song that could piss off
384
00:39:28,420 --> 00:39:32,700
your parents more than the distorted rock coming out of your boom box?
385
00:39:32,700 --> 00:39:45,140
Oh yeah, that's next on Mount Rock more.
386
00:39:45,140 --> 00:39:49,300
The Minnesota activists are out in full force today to protest a new bill that would band
387
00:39:49,300 --> 00:39:51,580
marriage between people who don't love each other.
388
00:39:51,580 --> 00:39:55,420
Minnesota Governor Tim Bolland expressed his intention to sign the bill earlier this week,
389
00:39:55,420 --> 00:39:59,500
saying, quote, "I believe the definition of marriage is a union between two people who love
390
00:39:59,500 --> 00:40:00,500
each other."
391
00:40:00,500 --> 00:40:04,500
In addition to outlawing future loveless unions, the so-called "purity of marriage" act
392
00:40:04,500 --> 00:40:08,700
but also note why it estimated 53% of marriages in Minnesota.
393
00:40:08,700 --> 00:40:12,780
Loveless couples gathered at the state capital today to voice their opinion that all couples
394
00:40:12,780 --> 00:40:16,340
have a right to be married, not just those who can stand each other's company.
395
00:40:16,340 --> 00:40:20,220
"Beth and I have been sitting silently in front of the TV set for 20 years.
396
00:40:20,220 --> 00:40:22,060
You can't tell me that's not marriage."
397
00:40:22,060 --> 00:40:34,020
Our feelings and cold dependence are just as strong as the happy couples love.
398
00:40:34,020 --> 00:40:37,660
Joining us now from St. Paul is on your news network, legal expert Olivia Walker.
399
00:40:37,660 --> 00:40:38,660
Hi, David.
400
00:40:38,660 --> 00:40:42,380
This is a real surprise since Minnesota has long been considered a real meccaful, loveless
401
00:40:42,380 --> 00:40:43,380
couples.
402
00:40:43,380 --> 00:40:46,620
Right, the state is full of bland suburbs and buffet restaurants serving endless piles
403
00:40:46,620 --> 00:40:49,860
of food, which loveless couples used to fill the void in their homes.
404
00:40:49,860 --> 00:40:51,700
Where is the support for this bill coming from?
405
00:40:51,700 --> 00:40:55,580
Well, the bill's supporters say for too long they've had to watch these people flaunt their
406
00:40:55,580 --> 00:41:00,220
lovelessness, bickering over which peanut butter to buy and grocery stores and violently brushing
407
00:41:00,220 --> 00:41:01,620
linoff with each other's jackets.
408
00:41:01,620 --> 00:41:04,860
So, to them, these miserable couples offend the very idea of marriage.
409
00:41:04,860 --> 00:41:05,860
That's right.
410
00:41:05,860 --> 00:41:08,660
There have been reports from around the state of loveless couples suffering harassment,
411
00:41:08,660 --> 00:41:09,660
big evangelism.
412
00:41:09,660 --> 00:41:13,380
Olivia, what about the people who argue that loveless couples can still live together on
413
00:41:13,380 --> 00:41:14,380
happily?
414
00:41:14,380 --> 00:41:15,380
Not even.
415
00:41:15,380 --> 00:41:17,260
Their sexless unions aren't technically considered marriage.
416
00:41:17,260 --> 00:41:19,580
Well, marriage has legal implications as well.
417
00:41:19,580 --> 00:41:24,140
For instance, if one member of a loveless couple got sick, their spouse could no longer visit
418
00:41:24,140 --> 00:41:28,180
them in the hospital to berate them about how much that medical bill was going to cost.
419
00:41:28,180 --> 00:41:32,260
Well, Olivia, not so long ago, loveless couples felt they had to hide, but the crowds there
420
00:41:32,260 --> 00:41:36,300
today showed that many people are now comfortable with being openly indifferent to their spouses.
421
00:41:36,300 --> 00:41:37,300
That's right.
422
00:41:37,300 --> 00:41:41,580
As recently as the 1970s, loveless couples were sent to camps where it was believed they
423
00:41:41,580 --> 00:41:46,220
could be cured of their lovelessness by undergoing group therapy and sharing exercises.
424
00:41:46,220 --> 00:41:49,540
But even if the Minnesota law passes, loveless marriage activists will almost
425
00:41:49,540 --> 00:41:51,780
certainly try to bring this one before the Supreme Court.
426
00:41:51,780 --> 00:41:56,300
Right, and there it could face a lot of opposition, at least for the justices, a rumored to be
427
00:41:56,300 --> 00:41:57,860
in loveless marriages themselves.
428
00:41:57,860 --> 00:42:00,020
Yeah, well, thanks for the update, Olivia.
429
00:42:00,020 --> 00:42:03,460
And later in the hour, we'll talk to our economic sexist, Joshua Russell, who says a
430
00:42:03,460 --> 00:42:07,820
ban on loveless marriage could cripple the already flagging cruise ship industry.
431
00:42:07,820 --> 00:42:12,060
But first, Shyla Buff has decided to deal with Paramount to ruin another one of your childhood
432
00:42:12,060 --> 00:42:18,260
memories.
433
00:42:18,260 --> 00:42:22,060
Welcome back to Mount Rockmore.
434
00:42:22,060 --> 00:42:26,700
It's final carving time on the Mount Rockmore of Bond Scott.
435
00:42:26,700 --> 00:42:29,580
First, we ask you to visit our website, realguyradio.com.
436
00:42:29,580 --> 00:42:34,340
You can hit up our shop, complete with Mount Rockmore t-shirts, sweat shirts and other gear.
437
00:42:34,340 --> 00:42:39,380
I'm in the process of trying to get us some tank tops so you can sport that sleeveless
438
00:42:39,380 --> 00:42:43,900
this spring and summer, or you happen to be in the south part of the US already.
439
00:42:43,900 --> 00:42:45,820
You might just want to get the tank tops on now.
440
00:42:45,820 --> 00:42:50,860
So it's pretty warm, like 80 degrees watching some softball games in Louisiana today.
441
00:42:50,860 --> 00:42:51,860
I'm Bauer.
442
00:42:51,860 --> 00:42:54,980
I know I was a nightmare to my parents.
443
00:42:54,980 --> 00:42:59,620
They would never admit it, but my electric guitar, which was usually out of tune, no doubt,
444
00:42:59,620 --> 00:43:04,660
and trying to keep up with the volume of my record player through my little mini app,
445
00:43:04,660 --> 00:43:07,500
man, I was a terror to them.
446
00:43:07,500 --> 00:43:10,900
And I played it all through my kick-ass stereo system.
447
00:43:10,900 --> 00:43:14,620
Kids ask your parents about stereo system, so fill you in on that a little bit.
448
00:43:14,620 --> 00:43:21,180
And that was one song that could be worse for them to hear than the wailing of Bond, Scott
449
00:43:21,180 --> 00:43:22,660
and ACDC.
450
00:43:22,660 --> 00:43:27,420
And that is our final song being carved into Mount Rockmore.
451
00:43:27,420 --> 00:43:28,420
Why?
452
00:43:28,420 --> 00:43:30,180
One word.
453
00:43:30,180 --> 00:43:31,180
Bagpipes.
454
00:43:31,180 --> 00:43:32,180
Wait, is that...
455
00:43:32,180 --> 00:43:33,180
I'm asking the producers.
456
00:43:33,180 --> 00:43:35,500
Is that one word or two words?
457
00:43:35,500 --> 00:43:40,820
Is it bagpipes or bag thenpipes?
458
00:43:40,820 --> 00:43:42,900
We're sure?
459
00:43:42,900 --> 00:43:45,460
Okay, according to Wikipedia, it's one word.
460
00:43:45,460 --> 00:43:51,740
So either way, Bond Scott blaring away in the bagpipes at the top of that shitty racket
461
00:43:51,740 --> 00:43:56,980
as he does this song, served as a time-lone reminder of the years of hard work that go
462
00:43:56,980 --> 00:43:59,700
into becoming an overnight success in the music industry.
463
00:43:59,700 --> 00:44:01,420
So get your pipes ready.
464
00:44:01,420 --> 00:44:10,620
Our last track on the Bond Scott Mount Rockmore is, it's a long way to the top.

let me play it for you

because back before
554
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:14,920
Bon was in ACDC
555
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:16,920
he was in a band called
556
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:17,920
Fraternity
557
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:20,920
not only did he sing in Fraternity
558
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:23,920
but also apparently he played
559
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:25,920
the recorder
560
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:27,920

In 1970 Bon Scott moved to Adelaide
571
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:02,920
and joined the progressive rock group
572
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:04,920

573
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:06,920
but if you ever wanted to know
574
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:09,920
what playing in a progressive rock group did to you
575
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:11,920
it made you join ACDC
576
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:14,920
and then just crush it professionally
577
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:16,920
he joined Fraternity
578
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:18,920
who released the LP Live Stock
579
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:20,920
and then also a second album
580
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:22,920
called Flaming Gala
581
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:25,920
before touring the UK in 1973
582
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:27,920
where they changed their name to Fang
583
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,920
because apparently Fraternity wasn't cool enough
584
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:32,920
man that's amazing

00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:40,920
well I guess five if you put that one
588
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:41,920
isn't with Bon Scott
589
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:43,920
of Bon Scott
590
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:44,920
I hate my picks
591
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:45,920
think you could do better
592
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:47,920
well just tweet me at Mount Rockmore
593
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:48,920
and let me know
594
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:49,920
I may need your help to
595
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:53,920
co-host and join me for some stage diving right into upcoming Rockmore
596
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:56,920
and if you knew that during the time
597
00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:58,920
Fraternity played support slots
598
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:00,920
for bands like Status Quo
599
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:02,920
and Jordy
600
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:05,920
Jordy's frontman at that time was
601
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:06,920
Brian Johnson
602
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:09,920
who would eventually succeed Bon Scott
603
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:12,920
as the lead singer of ACDC
604
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:13,920
after his death
605
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:14,920
so you're feeling that
606
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:17,920
it was Bon Scott opening for Brian Johnson
607
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:20,920
and if you knew that then just tell your fellow Bon heads
608
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:22,920
that you subscribed to Mount Rockmore
609
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:24,920
and we'll be right here
610
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:27,920
for your 45th high school radio and road trip
611
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:29,920
until next time on Bauer
612
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:30,920
