You Can't Coach That

Friday, October 31, 2008

I thought I had a bad day today. Not as bad as John Daly by the looks his mug shot.

That’s what a couple of thousand drinks at your local Hooters will do for you.

I wish I had some of his talent - for playing golf obviously, not drinking.

The Guardian newspaper in the UK has solved the problem of the world economic crisis - it's AC/DC's fault. Yes the vintage Aussie rockers are responsible for the recession we are in or about to be in, depending on who you ask.

While the release of their latest album, Black Ice, might be welcome news for aging rock fans such as me it is a shame that it has come at the expense of global economic chaos.

The facts don't lie:

1973 - AC/DC form

Economy: Start of the oil crisis, which saw the price quadruple

1980 - AC/DC release breakthrough album Back In Black

Economy: Inflation in UK reaches 20% and unemployment nears 2 million

1990 - AC/DC score comeback with The Razor's Edge

Economy: Recession in UK imminent

2008: AC/DC top UK album charts

Economy: Biggest world recession in decades looms

At least we can take comfort in the fact that Angus can still afford a new school uniform.

Yes I know, no posts for months and then two in a row featuring AC/DC - go figure.

Wow, I just realised how long it has been since I posted. I am probably posting just for my own benefit now but oh well.

At the risk of dating myself, I must say that AC/DC are still one of my favourite bands. In fact, the first album I ever bought with my own money was an early AC/DC album.

They say that a good music video (we used to call them film clips) can make or break a song. I'm not sure whether a music video produced in Microsoft Excel is going to do the trick though.

If I think that this is good does that make me a little strange? - I think it probably does.
