I don’t care what anyone says but AC/DC kicks ass. See I didn’t grow up with Rock or anything heavy other than Punk so I missed out on allot of the obvious foundation of Rock, so as an adult when I actually stopped and listened to what was considered to be “Redneck music” I was blown away with how awesome AC/DC was. Like most things, I was told was lame, was actually allot better than anything those people listen to now.

There was soo many things I missed out on, because of the close mindedness I was taught, but listening to “Shoot to Thrill” I wanted to jump up and sing along with the song even though it was the first time I ever heard this song. It was soo much a shock to me that I had to find this album and dig deeper like I always do, and Back in Black delivered what I missed and then some.

I read somewhere that Richard Ramirez felt the lyrics to Night Prowler described himself, but in my opinion I would say that “Let Me Put My Love into You” is something he probably listened to or played in his mind. But that all aside, this is a hardcore song that has all the fury in the world, aggression, and animalistic lust in it those are the things that come to mind when I hear this song. Arguably the best song on the album, never heard it on the radio, but its FUCKING AWESOME!!!

Everyone would say that I have to add the album titled song Back in Black in this blog, but this is mine so I’m going with "Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution", Because it’s a powerful anthem, to the whole Rock genre. After work on a Friday when I get paid I blast this song in the Caddy, windows down all the way and the volume up all the way till they start rattling all funny like. I get weird looks from the Paisas when I roll to the liquor store to buy my Modelo Especial, but fuckit “Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution, Rock and Roll will never die”.

This weeks entry is a PERFECT EXAMPLE of trying something different you maybe surprised, so that means you  should PASS IT ON
