I'm changing things up a little for the September Artist Of The MonthTM. Rather than profile just one band or singer, I'm going to be doing an ongoing series of seven posts that deal with themes. Two reasons.
1) I want to change things up a little.
2) I'm running out of artists to profile on their own.
The first of the seven is the music of the Gods. The music that gets you pumped during your morning workouts and wakes you to go to work. Rock And Roll. Not rock songs, but songs about R'N'R. As of now I have fourteen songs planned to feature. Some I'll post the song for, but most will just be the lyrics. And there is a weird anomaly that's occurred. Of the seven themes, there's one band that will be featured over and over. That's because they are the band of decadence. Sex, drugs and rock and roll. So, I figured what better way to start this than with one particular song. We're about to rock and AC/DC salutes us for it.
A great blues based rock band that formed in 1974 in Australia who're still going strong today and still kicking the ass of every new "rock band" that comes along. They don't compromise, they don't write songs for commercials, although they sadly have sold two songs to commercials. Gap and the Motorola RAZR. And they don't take themselves too serious. They have a great tongue-in-cheek approach to their music. They write straight up rock songs, nothing fancy.

Sorry, but that's not one of the songs to be profiled.
Wow, you are reminding me of my fun younger years! What a great time that was! Woohooo!
You're only a old as you want to be.
Old School..old news. Remembering your youth won't bring it back. Look at those guys. They look like Za in 20 years. Except more masculine. Rode hard and put away wet.
Dude, if I'm lucky enough to make it to my mid-50's, I hope I have half the energy these guys do.
