Tony Pierce reminded me that two formative parts of my youth entered the world on this day…
42 years ago, on July 25th, 1980, one of the greatest albums of all time came out: AC/DC’s Back in Black, the band’s first album after the death of original vocalist Bon Scott. Brian Johnson debuted as the vocalist on this album, and it ended up being the third best-selling album of all time.
Brian Johnson now lives a 90-minute drive south of me in Sarasota.
Also released on this day 42 years ago: Caddyshack!
So now you know two elements that warped my youth.
