AC/DC and Wal-Mart -- "Back in Green" (as in bucks)
I can't believe it. I actually have the words "Go to WM to buy new AC/DC album" on my to-do list for this weekend. This old, jaded, rocker (that would be me) wants so badly to believe that this band could actually deliver a new CD that might harken back to the days of "Back in Black." Kudos to Columbia and Wal-Mart for pulling together a marketing campaign that struck a chord with me - and apparently a lot of other classic rockers. Rumor on the street is that this CD is going to move over 700K units in the first week and debut at #1 on the Billboard chart. The "Black Ice" tour is also selling out. Sometimes it just doesn't get any better than 3 chords on a Gibson SG, plugged into a cranked up Marshall amp. (Oh...and a lyric about loose women and booze).
