LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-JAN 18, 2019... 31 YEARS AGO AC/DC RELEASED THEIR 10TH ALBUM INTERNATIONALLY ‘BLOW UP YOUR VIDEO’.

BRIAN JOHNSON WROTE ALL THE LYRICS ON THIS ALBUM, AND IT WOULD MARK THE LAST AC/DC ALBUM IN WHICH HE WOULD BE CREDITED AS A SONGWRITER FOR THE BAND. ALL ALBUMS AFTERWARDS LISTED THE YOUNG BROTHERS AS SONGWRITERS.

SOME AC/DC TRIVIA. BOTH MALCOLM YOUNG AND ANGUS YOUNG DROPPED OUT OF SCHOOL AT THE AGE OF 14 YEARS 9 MONTHS OLD. THAT WAS THE AGE THEY WERE LEGALLY ALLOWED TO DO SO.

AC/DC ARE ALSO ONE OF THE SHORTEST BANDS. MALCOLM YOUNG WAS 5’3”, ANGUS YOUNG WAS 5’2” AND BRIAN JOHNSON TOWERED OVER THEM AT 5’5”.

HERE’S AC/DC FROM 1988 WITH HEATSEEKER.

LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-JAN 15, 2019…AFTER A NINE YEAR HIATUS FROM RECORDING, JOHN FOGERTY CAME ROARING BACK IN 1985 WITH THE ALBUM ‘CENTERFIELD’. THE REASON FOGERTY SAT ON THE SIDELINES FOR SO LONG WAS HE HATED HIS RECORD COMPANY WHO OWNED THE RIGHTS TO ANY MUSIC HE MADE. WHEN HE SETTLED HIS DISPUTE HE CAME OUT WITH ‘CENTERFIELD’. FOGERTY PLAYED ALL THE INSTRUMENTS ON THE ALBUM HIMSELF.

HERE’S A GREAT LIVE VERSION OF CENTERFIELD
