AC/DC Release Back In Black
On This Date, July 25th, in 1980: AC/DC released Back in Black, their first album with Brian Johnson as their lead singer. The album was dedicated to late vocalist Bon Scott and has gone on to sell more than 50 million copies worldwide. To date it is the second highest selling album of all time, as well as the best-selling hard rock or heavy metal album.
Remembering Bon Scott

On This Date, February 19th in 1980: AC/DC vocalist Bon Scott (born Ronald Belford Scott) died of acute alcohol poisoning in London while sleeping in a friend’s car. He was 33 years old. Addicted to Vinyl adds a few poignant thoughts to Bon’s passing: “Bon died just as AC/DC was becoming one of the biggest international rock acts of its time. Highway to Hell had broken the Top 20 on the U.S. album charts and the band’s back catalog was seeing a worldwide resurgence. 1980 was destined to be a breakthrough year, though it would ultimately happen with Brian Johnson as lead singer.” Rest in Peace.
Beavis and Butthead to Return to TV with New Episodes!
“Fire! Fire!”
Oh boy oh boy!! One of my favorite, iconic TV shows from the 90s, Beavis & Butthead is making a comeback. Series creator – and the voice of most of the characters – Mike Judge is reportedly putting together 30 new episodes to continue the adventures of his inarticulate, animated heroes. Specifics of timing and format are still being resolved, but the process is underway. Beavis & Butthead originally aired on MTV from 1993 to 1997. I watched it religiously.
