As some of you may know, I've been a fan of AC/DC most of my life. I remember buying Powerage with the money my granny Ruth gave me to go down to the dimestore with. I used to go down there and buy a model and tube of glue, and then bring it back and build it. This time I bought Powerage. I had heard it the day before when I went to the movies with a girl I knew there and her boyfriend. Her boyfriend played Powerage on the way to the movie, and I was thinking "This is AWESOME!"

My mom wouldn't let me play it when I got back because the album cover scared her.

When I got home, though, I played that album until the groove wore out. It was then that I learned to appreciate the work of Ronald Scott - in my estimation, the best front man rock and roll has ever seen.

After Bon died, AC/DC carried on because Brian Johnson stepped up and did an admirable job of fronting my favorite band. In my opinion, though, the albums with Bon were AC/DC's best - by some measure - because of the stories Bon told. From banging fat chicks, to being broke, nobody told the story like Bon did. Couple that with Angus on the lead guitar, and AC/DC was the band all other rock bands should have been measured against.

I still wonder what AC/DC would have been had Bon not passed away before his time. That's not to take anything away from Brian Johnson, but you can't replace a Bon Scott. Since there can be no answer to that question, I'll end with a few lines from Bon that always make me smile.

Feel free to post one or more of your own. There's only a thousand to choose from.
