Happy Birthday Bon Scott

Forget Mick Jagger and Robert Plant. Forget Jim Morrison and Van Morrison. Forget Roger Daltrey and Freddie Mercury. You can even forget Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard and Elvis and anyone else on your long list of favorite rock and roll singers because Bon Scott is the greatest rock and roll singer of all time. He would have been 68 years old today.

Sixty-eight. Hard to believe.

What makes Bon Scott so good? These attitude dripping words of rock and roll wisdom:

“We just want to make the walls cave in and the ceiling collapse. Music is meant to be played as loudly as possible, really raw and punchy, and I’ll punch out anyone who doesn’t like it the way I do.”  – Bon Scott
