Bon's Anniversary

.
"Ain't no fun waiting round to be a millionaire..." 02/19/2010, marks the 30th anniversary of Bon Scott's death.

.
Born, Ronald Belford Scott in Kirriemuir, Scotland February 30 1946, Bon died while on tour with AC/DC in London at the age of thirty three.

.
According to a Daile Pepper of WA News, thousands of fans are heading to Perth Australia to mark the anniversary of his death. You can read Daile's article here WA Today.

This statue of Bon is erected in his home town in Fremantle in Fishing Boat Harbour.

I never got the chance to see Bon perform (if you did, consider yourself very, very lucky) with Angus, Malcolm and the boys... but I will say this, he is the reason I love the band and their music.
.

.

Say what will about Brian Johnson's influence and impact (both in record sales and the bands now world wide appeal), but if not for Bon... there would be no AC/DC. Period!

This doc on Bon Scott (part 2 is also available) is well done and worth your time.

RIP Bon.
