AC/DC part II - the economic crisis is their fault
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.
