LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-JUNE 23, 2019…42 YEARS AGO AC/DC RELEASED ‘WHOLE LOTTA ROSIE’. THIS SONG IS ABOUT A VERY LARGE WOMAN LEAD SINGER BON SCOTT HAD SEX WITH EARLY IN THE BAND’S CAREER. IN A 1976 INTERVIEW WITH THE BAND, MALCOLM PRODDED SCOTT TO TELL THE STORY ABOUT “THE FAT ONE.”
SCOTT EXPLAINED THAT AT A SHOW IN AUSTRALIA, A RATHER “ROTUND” WOMAN THEY CALLED BIG BERTHA WAS BACKSTAGE AND WENT UP TO THE BAND AND ASKED “WHO WANTS IT ?”
SCOTT, WHO LIKED WOMEN ON THE BIG SIDE, DID THE DEED WITH BERTHA, WHO THEN CALLED HER FRIEND AND SAID “THAT’S 29 THIS MONTH!!” AND PRODUCED A BLACK BOOK WHERE SHE RECORDED HER CONQUESTS.
IN ADDITION TO POINTING OUT THE WOMAN’S SIZE, SCOTT ALSO FINDS HER TO BE ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED LOVERS HE’S EVER EXPERIENCED.
BON TURNED THE INCIDENT INTO A SONG, AND CHANGED HER NAME TO “ROSIE.”
