Malcolm Young Leaves Us

AC/DC co-founder, rock god, and the composer of some of the greatest rock songs that ever existed, Malcolm Young passed away just three years after being diagnosed with dementia at age 64. He died surrounded by family. I wonder if all those pantywaists that got all bleary eyed over Prince and David Bowie are going to change their AVI's to Malcolm Young now. I'm going to guess they won't.

Their album Highway to Hell sold 7 million copies. In 1979. That's more than some "superstars" sell today with every conceivable type of social media, video and television help you could possibly imagine. AC/DC still has the second biggest selling album of all time with Back in Black selling more than 40 million copies second only to Michael Jackson's Thriller.  And we're talking in 1980. Assholes like Beyonce sell a measly 500,000 albums and we're told how she's changing the world. Times change I guess. That's the way it goes. See you Malcolm.
