#ACDC Trivia Question #5,972: Honored to have been entrusted by Classic Rock with writing the magazine's cover story—a 15-page celebration of what would have been Bon Scott's 80th birthday this month.
This piece has been nearly 20 years in the making—from filming AC/DC Beyond The Thunder with my friend Gregg Ferguson, to its evolution into a podcast with Eric Kielb, to conversations that ultimately helped bring Bon Scott's legacy to these pages.
Huge thanks to Siân Llewellyn and the entire Classic Rock team for their trust, and to Gregg and Eric for believing in this journey from day one.
And thank you, Bon Scott—and the enduring power of AC/DC—for inspiring it all. New issue available now. ⚡
And for the question...Can you name one of the people we interviewed whose memories appear in this cover story?
