Bon Scott at 80: The 1973 Geordie Gig That Secretly Connected AC/DC's Two Eras
Bon Scott would have turned 80 on July 9. The best way to honor him skips the highlight reel and goes back to the night in 1973 when he watched Brian Johnson scream himself off a stage, filed it away, and accidentally wrote the ending of his own band’s story seven years early.
