When I was barely in grade school, my first “favorite” band was AC/DC. 20 years later, I’ve fallen in love with those raunchy Aussies again.
After my parents put an addition onto the family home in 2001, they bought this much-too-big entertainment center for the living room. It had more cabinets than I had years on this earth, and they filled them up with photo albums, sports memorabilia, VHS tapes and snow globes. CDs were at their peak popularity, and Dad had a whole mess of them.
Because, though Bon Scott was the voice and the crotch of AC/DC—having joined the Young brothers after they ditched their glam rock image and OG vocalist Dave Evans quit—Angus was the band’s heart, soul and blood. I adored his stage antics, coming out in a full schoolboy suit and then, as the setlist crawled toward a conclusion, stripping his wardrobe down piece by piece until he ricocheted around the stage in velvet short-shorts and nothing else.
In the almost 15 years since then, I’ve labored through far too many phases of a still-developing music taste: I had a Drake era that included a Walmart-exclusive censored edition ofdisciples in all of Trumbull County, doing Sporcle quizzes in computer class that required us to type out every one of his studio albums by name.
Malcolm died in 2017 after receiving a dementia diagnosis three years earlier, when he officially retired from AC/DC—but he’d been suffering from memory loss issues as far back as 2008, when the band was making. Just 364 days earlier, my own grandmother died from dementia complications herself after a battle with the disease that had lasted just as long as Malcolm’s, in the same house where thatLP slowly became unplayable.
