He said it made him feel young again." 80 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,000 There was a lot to unpack in that statement from Angus Young. 81 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,000 But I think the one thing that shocked me the most 82 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,000 was that Bond Scott was married. 83 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,000 He was running around with his wife's knickers on. 84 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,000 Little weird. I don't know why I thought he was just going to constantly be 85 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,000 like this proverbial single guy, but no, he was married. 86 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,000 Who married Bond Scott? A few weeks later, 87 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:41,000 Bond was inducted as a full-time member of AC/DC ahead of his official debut 88 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:47,000 at Rockdale's Masonic Hall on October 5th, 51 years ago. 89 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:52,000 And with that, neither Bond's life nor Rock itself 90 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,000 would ever be the same again. 91 00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:00,000 Now, I am fully aware that I am not able to satisfy every Bond's army member 92 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,000 who bows before the dirty deeds crew, but I will try to do some Rockmore Justice 93 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,000 with the paint palette at my disposal. 94 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,000 So with the skin tight shirts, ripped-in 'em jeans, tattoo and attitude, 95 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:17,000 outwardly at least, of Brutus abandoned, Bond Scott epitomized the ragged rebellion 96 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:22,000 at the root of the fun, dumb and dangerous to know, hard rock music 97 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,000 that AC/DC pioneered in the '70s. 98 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,000 Let's face it, Bond Scott's body, funny and chant worthy lyrics, 99 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,000 AC/DC, found with that the formula that would carry them 100 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,000 to the highest echelons of Rockstartum. 101 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,000 Classics like it's a long way to the top if you want a rock and roll. 102 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,000 TNT! 103 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,000 Dirty deeds done, dirtch-yping-day, all! 104 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,000 Paved the en-ramp for 1979's "High Way to Hell" 105 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,000 and its multi-platinum international success. 106 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,000 And listen folks, with a resume like that. 107 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000 Eh, ain't no debate. 108 00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,000 You? 109 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,000 My friends? 110 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,000 Bond Scott? 111 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,000 Does it have a play? 112 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,000 So, let's get it out of the way. 113 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:12,000 This song, so you're all clear, is not, is not about a game of cards. 114 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,000 Despite what the official recorded lyrics might tell you. 115 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:21,000 In fact, it's among the worst-kept secrets in rock music that this track isn't about 116 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:30,000 an overly friendly house full of women that gave Bond Scott and his bandmates the clap. 117 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,000 Kids, ask your parents or fire up the old Google machine and search it out for yourself. 118 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:41,000 In concert, the band frequently spells things out just a bit more clearly with some different lyrics than you're about to hear. 119 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:48,000 But your play in on the Mount Rockmore of Bond Scott ACDC is the one and only. 120 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,000 Well, we call it the Jack. 121 00:06:50,000 --> 00:07:16,000 [Music] 122 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:26,000 [Music] 123 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:36,000 [Music] 124 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:46,000 [Music] 125

00:19:44,000 It released in Europe in 1976. I'm doing the math that seems like about five years earlier. 222 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,000 Really bad at math. They also included this song on "Let There Be Rock" 223 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:58,000 likely because they didn't want "Crab City in Blue" which is a similar song with a very overt-tored towards STDs 224 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:06,000 with a very overt-tone towards STDs on their label so they needed another song. 225 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,000 Just think it's great that they had "Crab City in Blue" that now it is a big name for a band. 226 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:16,000 So the short answer to the question on which ACDC album was "Problem Child". 227 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:22,000 The song was originally released in the longer form on "Dirty Deeds Dunder Cheap" period end of list. 228 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:28,000 On the way, did any of those other songs that you heard me talk about earlier? 229 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:34,000 Are they making their way into the carving on Mount Rockmore? 230 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:42,000 And what did one music-trademagazine call a bone-crunching gut-wrenching exercise in primal guitar rock? 231 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:48,000 Oh, that'll be carved in all on the way on Mount Rockmore. 232 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:58,000 This is clearly not a metro-sexual moment in history. 233 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,000 Crazy horse. 234 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:06,000 Celebrated for his ferocity and battle, Crazy Horse was recognized among the Lakota Indians as a visionary leader. 235 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:12,000 In 1876, the U.S. War Department ordered all Lakota onto reservation and Crazy Horse? He didn't say "Let's share." 236 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:16,000 Let's hold hands and sing "Koombai YAH." He became a leader of the resistance. 237 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:24,000 Furthermore, he wrote in a battle on an angry Steve, not some pansy automobile like a VW bug or a PT-foozer. 238 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:28,000 Crazy Horse famously said "My lands are where my dead live buried." 239 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:32,000 A famous metro-sexual once said "My lands are where my prodigal loafers await purchase." 240 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:38,000 If around today, Crazy Horse would kick that guy's ass.

If you know it doesn't matter as long as the singer is screaming their heart out. 255 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:42,000 Here's the thing about Bond Scott. Back in his day. 256 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,000 Ladies, he was considered sexy. 257 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:50,000 Oh, the ladies loving he was sexy enough for the girls. Yet tough enough for the bikers. 258 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:58,000 He was an icon of rock and roll life, roaring about sex, booze, and the rock and roll directly from the gutter. 259 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:16,000 His piercing squeals and lock up your daughter's learicism, literally those words, often delivered with a lascivious smirk became the definitive blueprint of what a rock lead singer should look like, act like, feel like and sound like for the coming decades. 260 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:24,000 Sadly, he also came to define rock and roll's most classic trajectory of addiction and tragedy. 261 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:38,000 It was in tribute to Scott who died at age 33 from alcohol poisoning that in 1980 back in black released the same year he died became the second best selling album of all time. 262 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:50,000 Find only Michael Jackson's thriller. However, it's the title track from Bond Scott's final album with ACDC that has become a unifying anthem for rock and rollers all over the world. 263 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:58,000 We talked about it earlier, the drawbacks of life on the road, a sense that he's flirting with the zaster which he always seemed to be. 264 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:06,000 They were once again mentioned in Scott's lyrics, but this time the tone is almost fully defiant and celebratory. 265 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:12,000 Number two on the Mount Rock more of ACDC starring Bond Scott is highway. 266 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:22,000 (music) 267 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:40,000 There is a loving feeling, season decodal lonely, and there's nothing leaving me, take out of the darkness of the spine, don't be reason, don't be right. 268 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:54,000 And nothing that ever ever do, go and go for the time, my friends are gonna be there too. 269 00:24:54,000 --> 00:25:14,000 I'm gonna highway the hill, I'm gonna highway the hill, highway the hill. 270 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:30,000 No stop signs, speed limit, nobody's gonna slow me down, let go we are gonna spin it, nobody's gonna mess me around. 271 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:48,000 Hey, Shyshaw, where my shoes, where my rock and band, hey my mom, love that lead, I'm not that way until the promise ends. 272 00:25:48,000 --> 00:26:14,000 I'm gonna highway the hill, highway the hill, highway the hill, highway the hill, no stop signs, let go. 273 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:30,000 (music) 274 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:46,580 I'll wait a hell for you, I'll wait a hell for you, I'll wait a hell for you, I'll wait a hell for you, I'll wait a hell for you 275 00:26:46,580 --> 00:26:53,980 I'll wait until I know how it goes I'll wait until I know how it goes 276 00:26:53,980 --> 00:26:57,700 I'll wait until I know how it goes 277 00:26:57,700 --> 00:27:02,980 I'll wait until I know how it goes 278 00:27:02,980 --> 00:27:08,980 And I'm going down 279 00:27:08,980 --> 00:27:12,620 All the way 280 00:27:12,620 --> 00:27:19,620 All the way 281 00:27:19,620 --> 00:27:27,620 All the way 282 00:27:27,620 --> 00:27:34,540 Music trade magazine cashbox called that track a bone crunching, gut wrenching exercise 283 00:27:34,540 --> 00:27:40,460 in primal guitar rock with simple get effective riffing and ballsy vocals. 284 00:27:40,460 --> 00:27:46,380 Third world said that growling vocals join a raunchy guitar assault for simple high voltage 285 00:27:46,380 --> 00:27:53,020 rock and roll abandon and the single highway to hell spent 45 weeks on the German singles 286 00:27:53,020 --> 00:27:57,460 chart peaked at number 30 and its 19th week on the chart and then 287 00:27:57,460 --> 00:28:03,020 Bonscott was found dead in the back of a friend's car just over six months after the 288 00:28:03,020 --> 00:28:04,380 song was released. 289 00:28:04,380 --> 00:28:10,420 Well, right now we are halfway through the Mount Rushmore of Bonscott songs with 290 00:28:10,420 --> 00:28:17,420 two songs yet to go, but first it is time for an official Bonscott today you learnt. 291 00:28:17,420 --> 00:28:29,220 Today you learnt after ACDC vocalist Bonscott died of alcohol poisoning, which some people 292 00:28:29,220 --> 00:28:34,100 still question, the band considered disbanding. 293 00:28:34,100 --> 00:28:40,880 Its parents Bonscott's folks requested that they not disband so they went out hired Brian 294 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:45,900 Johnson as their new frontman and made back in black which became the second best selling 295 00:28:45,900 --> 00:28:49,820 album of all time. 296 00:28:49,820 --> 00:28:55,420 Now Bonscott liked Malcolm and Angus Young the young brothers, but thought they were too 297 00:28:55,420 --> 00:28:58,900 inexperienced and too young to rock. 298 00:28:58,900 --> 00:29:02,540 The young brothers replied with saying Scott was too old to rock. 299 00:29:02,540 --> 00:29:05,700 Scott had to make everybody feel good and make it extremely comfortable. 300 00:29:05,700 --> 00:29:10,100 I'm bowling night for ACDC, but after one jam session with each other, it was obvious 301 00:29:10,100 --> 00:29:15,260 ACDC found its new lead singer. 302 00:29:15,260 --> 00:29:20,620 Now apparently today you learnt that Bonscott found his fellow ACDC bandmates boring. 303 00:29:20,620 --> 00:29:26,620 Obviously, thought they were too inexperienced and too young to rock, but back in 1976 they 304 00:29:26,620 --> 00:29:29,580 wouldn't let him drink or let groupies on their tour bus. 305 00:29:29,580 --> 00:29:34,900 This according to YNT frontman Dave Mennon Kettie who just for a simple plug here, we have 306 00:29:34,900 --> 00:29:38,380 already done in season one YNT's Mount Rockmore. 307 00:29:38,380 --> 00:29:40,300 You can find that in season one as well. 308 00:29:40,300 --> 00:29:44,100 But Mennon Kettie, Dave Mennon Kettie talked about Scott's request saying quote, "The very 309 00:29:44,100 --> 00:29:46,860 first day we did a soundtrack together, Bons came back. 310 00:29:46,860 --> 00:29:49,540 He was like, 'What are you guys traveling in?' 311 00:29:49,540 --> 00:29:52,900 We showed him and he was like, 'Would you mind if I come with you?' 312 00:29:52,900 --> 00:29:57,380 He continued by saying that Scott was willing to sit on the floor of their van to get some 313 00:29:57,380 --> 00:29:58,660 excitement.' 314 00:29:58,660 --> 00:30:03,220 So Bonscott told them these guys are really boring, meaning his young brothers in ACDC. 315 00:30:03,220 --> 00:30:06,180 They won't let me drink, they won't let any groupies on the bus. 316 00:30:06,180 --> 00:30:09,460 He figured he was going to have more fun with us, with YNT. 317 00:30:09,460 --> 00:30:17,260 And according to Dave Mennon Kettie, I'm absolutely certain that he did. 318 00:30:17,260 --> 00:30:22,740 Today you learnt that when Bonscott of ACDC first saw Brian Johnson, his eventual replacement 319 00:30:22,740 --> 00:30:29,160 performed, he told the boys in ACDC how great Brian Johnson was because he was on the floor 320 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,740 kicking and screaming while he was performing. 321 00:30:32,740 --> 00:30:36,420 Little did Bonscott know that Brian was on the floor kicking and screaming because at 322 00:30:36,420 --> 00:30:41,940 that moment he was suffering from appendicitis. 323 00:30:41,940 --> 00:30:47,660 And lastly today you learned the national trust of Australia decreed Bonscott's grave important 324 00:30:47,660 --> 00:30:56,300 enough to be included on the list of classified heritage places in Australia. 325 00:30:56,300 --> 00:31:06,220 And that was a Bonscott today you learnt. 326 00:31:06,220 --> 00:31:08,340 Well let's get ready for more carving, shall we? 327 00:31:08,340 --> 00:31:12,820 The next song carved into the mountainside proves, 'Size does matter.' 328 00:31:12,820 --> 00:31:17,900 It's a song about an obese Tasmanian woman, with whom Bonscott had a one night stand at 329 00:31:17,900 --> 00:31:21,140 the Freeway Gardens Motel in North Melbourne. 330 00:31:21,140 --> 00:31:22,140 Such a romantic night. 331 00:31:22,140 --> 00:31:25,700 In addition to pointing out the woman's size, the singer finds her to be one of the most 332 00:31:25,700 --> 00:31:28,620 talented lovers he's ever experienced. 333 00:31:28,620 --> 00:31:34,060 The song's first verse reveals her substantial physical measurements and that she weighs 19 334 00:31:34,060 --> 00:31:38,220 stone or as that figures out it's 266 pounds. 335 00:31:38,220 --> 00:31:44,140 On the live from the Atlantic Studios disc however, Bonscott describes the woman as quote a Tasmanian 336 00:31:44,140 --> 00:31:46,500 devil that she weighed 305 pounds. 337 00:31:46,500 --> 00:31:49,700 A measurement different from the 19 stone lyric. 338 00:31:49,700 --> 00:31:55,340 In 1998, speaking of OX magazine, Angus Young remembered that they'd been in Tasmanian 339 00:31:55,340 --> 00:31:58,380 after the show Bonscott said he was going to check out a few clubs. 340 00:31:58,380 --> 00:32:02,380 He said he'd got about a hundred yards down the street when he heard this yell, 'Hey 341 00:32:02,380 --> 00:32:03,380 Bons!' 342 00:32:03,380 --> 00:32:08,180 And he looked around and saw this leg and thought, 'Well, from what he said, there was 343 00:32:08,180 --> 00:32:09,780 this woman and a friend of hers. 344 00:32:09,780 --> 00:32:13,580 They were playing him with drinks and this one woman kept saying to him, 'This month I've 345 00:32:13,580 --> 00:32:15,460 slept with 28 famous people.' 346 00:32:15,460 --> 00:32:17,300 And Bons went, 'Oh yeah?' 347 00:32:17,300 --> 00:32:21,780 Anyway in the morning, he said he woke up pinned against the wall and he opened one eye 348 00:32:21,780 --> 00:32:25,780 and saw her lean over to her friend and whisper, '29.' 349 00:32:25,780 --> 00:32:32,260 There's very few people who go out and write a song about a big fat lady but Bonscott 350 00:32:32,260 --> 00:32:34,540 said it was worthy. 351 00:32:34,540 --> 00:32:40,620 In 2021, the woman the song was written about was identified by British Australian AC/DC 352 00:32:40,620 --> 00:32:47,620 biographer Jesse Fink as Rose Marie or stylized as Rose Marie Garcia. 353 00:32:47,620 --> 00:32:53,660 An Australian sex worker who saw Bonscott for some time before he went to England. 354 00:32:53,660 --> 00:33:00,900 Rose was indeed born in Lungkonston, Tasmania, lived in St. Kilda and died in Melbourne at 355 00:33:00,900 --> 00:33:02,300 the age of 22. 356 00:33:02,300 --> 00:33:09,300 Number three on the Mount Rushmore of Bonscott's AC/DC is a whole lot of Rose. 357 00:33:09,300 --> 00:33:34,820 One toe, your story about a woman unknown, I come to love him, she's the other show. 358 00:33:34,820 --> 00:33:41,820 But I'm not exactly pretty, and exactly small. 359 00:33:41,820 --> 00:34:01,820 But I'm not exactly pretty, and I'm not exactly pretty, and I'm not exactly pretty. 360 00:34:01,820 --> 00:34:16,820 But I'm not exactly pretty, and I'm not exactly pretty, and I'm not exactly pretty. 361 00:34:16,820 --> 00:34:36,820 But I'm not exactly pretty, and I'm not exactly pretty, and I'm not exactly pretty. 362 00:34:36,820 --> 00:34:51,820 But I'm not exactly pretty pretty, and I'm not exactly pretty pretty, and I'm not exactly pretty. 363 00:34:51,820 --> 00:34:56,100 Oh we won't do, we won't do know 364 00:34:56,100 --> 00:35:03,940 Oh if you would have made sense, I'd matter around the clock 365 00:35:03,940 --> 00:35:33,900 Oh if you would have made sense, I'd matter around the clock 366 00:35:33,900 --> 00:36:03,860 Oh if you would have made sense, I'd matter around the clock 367 00:36:03,860 --> 00:36:19,820 Oh if you would have made sense, I'd matter around the clock 368 00:36:19,820 --> 00:36:49,780 Oh if you would have made sense, I'd matter around the clock 369

00:38:07,620 --> 00:38:28,900 Oh 374 00:38:28,900 --> 00:38:32,860 Whole lot of Rosie is the eighth and final track on the band's fourth Australian album 375 00:38:32,860 --> 00:38:38,540 Let There Be Rock released in Australia in March 1977 and was written by Angus Malcolm 376 00:38:38,540 --> 00:38:43,380 Young and Bond Scott is also the eighth and final track on the international version 377 00:38:43,380 --> 00:38:46,940 of the album released in June the same year. 378 00:38:46,940 --> 00:38:51,540 When you have all kinds of hits spanning seven albums, you're bound to have songs that 379 00:38:51,540 --> 00:39:01,500 did not make the Mount Rock more cut, so in memoriam we salute you big balls out on the 380 00:39:01,500 --> 00:39:08,180 wacky rock radio morning show planes, you're

--> 00:39:49,300 The Minnesota activists are out in full force today to protest a new bill that would band 387 00:39:49,300 --> 00:39:51,580 marriage between people who don't love each other. 388 00:39:51,580 --> 00:39:55,420 Minnesota Governor Tim Bolland expressed his intention to sign the bill earlier this week, 389 00:39:55,420 --> 00:39:59,500 saying, quote, "I believe the definition of marriage is a union between two people who love 390 00:39:59,500 --> 00:40:00,500 each other." 391 00:40:00,500 --> 00:40:04,500 In addition to outlawing future loveless unions, the so-called "purity of marriage" act 392 00:40:04,500 --> 00:40:08,700 but also note why it estimated 53% of marriages in Minnesota. 393 00:40:08,700 --> 00:40:12,780 Loveless couples gathered at the state capital today to voice their opinion that all couples 394 00:40:12,780 --> 00:40:16,340 have a right to be married, not just those who can stand each other's company. 395 00:40:16,340 --> 00:40:20,220 "Beth and I have been sitting silently in front of the TV set for 20 years. 396 00:40:20,220 --> 00:40:22,060 You can't tell me that's not marriage." 397 00:40:22,060 --> 00:40:34,020 Our feelings and cold dependence are just as strong as the happy couples love. 398 00:40:34,020 --> 00:40:37,660 Joining us now from St. Paul is on your news network, legal expert Olivia Walker. 399 00:40:37,660 --> 00:40:38,660 Hi, David. 400 00:40:38,660 --> 00:40:42,380 This is a real surprise since Minnesota has long been considered a real meccaful, loveless 401 00:40:42,380 --> 00:40:43,380 couples. 402 00:40:43,380 --> 00:40:46,620 Right, the state is full of bland suburbs and buffet restaurants serving endless piles 403 00:40:46,620 --> 00:40:49,860 of food, which loveless couples used to fill the void in their homes. 404 00:40:49,860 --> 00:40:51,700 Where is the support for this bill coming from? 405 00:40:51,700 --> 00:40:55,580 Well, the bill's supporters say for too long they've had to watch these people flaunt their 406 00:40:55,580 --> 00:41:00,220 lovelessness, bickering over which peanut butter to buy and grocery stores and violently brushing 407 00:41:00,220 --> 00:41:01,620 linoff with each other's jackets. 408 00:41:01,620 --> 00:41:04,860 So, to them, these miserable couples offend the very idea of marriage. 409 00:41:04,860 --> 00:41:05,860 That's right. 410 00:41:05,860 --> 00:41:08,660 There have been reports from around the state of loveless couples suffering harassment, 411 00:41:08,660 --> 00:41:09,660 big evangelism. 412 00:41:09,660 --> 00:41:13,380 Olivia, what about the people who argue that loveless couples can still live together on 413 00:41:13,380 --> 00:41:14,380 happily? 414 00:41:14,380 --> 00:41:15,380 Not even. 415 00:41:15,380 --> 00:41:17,260 Their sexless unions aren't technically considered marriage. 416 00:41:17,260 --> 00:41:19,580 Well, marriage has legal implications as well. 417 00:41:19,580 --> 00:41:24,140 For instance, if one member of a loveless couple got sick, their spouse could no longer visit 418 00:41:24,140 --> 00:41:28,180 them in the hospital to berate them about how much that medical bill was going to cost. 419 00:41:28,180 --> 00:41:32,260 Well, Olivia, not so long ago, loveless couples felt they had to hide, but the crowds there 420 00:41:32,260 --> 00:41:36,300 today showed that many people are now comfortable with being openly indifferent to their spouses. 421 00:41:36,300 --> 00:41:37,300 That's right. 422 00:41:37,300 --> 00:41:41,580 As recently as the 1970s, loveless couples were sent to camps where it was believed they 423 00:41:41,580 --> 00:41:46,220 could be cured of their lovelessness by undergoing group therapy and sharing exercises. 424 00:41:46,220 --> 00:41:49,540 But even if the Minnesota law passes, loveless marriage activists will almost 425 00:41:49,540 --> 00:41:51,780 certainly try to bring this one before the Supreme Court. 426 00:41:51,780 --> 00:41:56,300 Right, and there it could face a lot of opposition, at least for the justices, a rumored to be 427 00:41:56,300 --> 00:41:57,860 in loveless marriages themselves. 428 00:41:57,860 --> 00:42:00,020 Yeah, well, thanks for the update, Olivia. 429 00:42:00,020 --> 00:42:03,460 And later in the hour, we'll talk to our economic sexist, Joshua Russell, who says a 430 00:42:03,460 --> 00:42:07,820 ban on loveless marriage could cripple the already flagging cruise ship industry. 431 00:42:07,820 --> 00:42:12,060 But first, Shyla Buff has decided to deal with Paramount to ruin another one of your childhood 432 00:42:12,060 --> 00:42:18,260 memories. 433 00:42:18,260 --> 00:42:22,060 Welcome back to Mount Rockmore. 434 00:42:22,060 --> 00:42:26,700 It's final carving time on the Mount Rockmore of Bond Scott. 435 00:42:26,700 --> 00:42:29,580 First, we ask you to visit our website, realguyradio.com. 436 00:42:29,580 --> 00:42:34,340 You can hit up our shop, complete with Mount Rockmore t-shirts, sweat shirts and other gear. 437 00:42:34,340 --> 00:42:39,380 I'm in the process of trying to get us some tank tops so you can sport that sleeveless 438 00:42:39,380 --> 00:42:43,900 this spring and summer, or you happen to be in the south part of the US already. 439 00:42:43,900 --> 00:42:45,820 You might just want to get the tank tops on now. 440 00:42:45,820 --> 00:42:50,860 So it's pretty warm, like 80 degrees watching some softball games in Louisiana today. 441 00:42:50,860 --> 00:42:51,860 I'm Bauer. 442 00:42:51,860 --> 00:42:54,980 I know I was a nightmare to my parents. 443 00:42:54,980 --> 00:42:59,620 They would never admit it, but my electric guitar, which was usually out of tune, no doubt, 444 00:42:59,620 --> 00:43:04,660 and trying to keep up with the volume of my record player through my little mini app, 445 00:43:04,660 --> 00:43:07,500 man, I was a terror to them. 446 00:43:07,500 --> 00:43:10,900 And I played it all through my kick-ass stereo system. 447 00:43:10,900 --> 00:43:14,620 Kids ask your parents about stereo system, so fill you in on that a little bit. 448 00:43:14,620 --> 00:43:21,180 And that was one song that could be worse for them to hear than the wailing of Bond, Scott 449 00:43:21,180 --> 00:43:22,660 and ACDC. 450 00:43:22,660 --> 00:43:27,420 And that is our final song being carved into Mount Rockmore. 451 00:43:27,420 --> 00:43:28,420 Why? 452 00:43:28,420 --> 00:43:30,180 One word. 453 00:43:30,180 --> 00:43:31,180 Bagpipes. 454 00:43:31,180 --> 00:43:32,180 Wait, is that... 455 00:43:32,180 --> 00:43:33,180 I'm asking the producers. 456 00:43:33,180 --> 00:43:35,500 Is that one word or two words? 457 00:43:35,500 --> 00:43:40,820 Is it bagpipes or bag thenpipes? 458 00:43:40,820 --> 00:43:42,900 We're sure? 459 00:43:42,900 --> 00:43:45,460 Okay, according to Wikipedia, it's one word. 460 00:43:45,460 --> 00:43:51,740 So either way, Bond Scott blaring away in the bagpipes at the top of that shitty racket 461 00:43:51,740 --> 00:43:56,980 as he does this song, served as a time-lone reminder of the years of hard work that go 462 00:43:56,980 --> 00:43:59,700 into becoming an overnight success in the music industry. 463 00:43:59,700 --> 00:44:01,420 So get your pipes ready. 464 00:44:01,420 --> 00:44:10,620 Our last track on the Bond Scott Mount Rockmore
