    I've heard of AC/DC, but I have no idea what their hits were. When rock and roll turned into shit when Reagan appointees started running the culture in the 80s, I stopped listening.

    Now as for the 60s, I got a thousand hits memorized and hum some every day.

    Music became visual instead of audial in the 80s. No tune, but something to look at.

    Nixon had started the ruination of rock and roll, just as he made the biggest magazines disappear in his war on the media. Life, Look, Saturday Evening Post, etc. It happened fast. Compare the hits of 1971 to those of 1975.

    Saw AC/DC and Aerosmith in 1978 at the MC. Don't remember a thing about the show other than the strange people I went with.

    Check out those pickup holes. He played his entire career with one pickup and used his socks to muffle the sound. He was probably the greatest pure rhythm guitar player who ever lived.
