About the Author:
Clinton Walker is the author of several books and documentaries on Australian music. His other books include Inner City Sound and Stranded: The Secret History of Australian Independent Music. His latest project is a book and film, Buried Country: The Story of Aboriginal Country Music (2000)
From Library Journal:
First published in Australia in 1994 and completely revised for its American debut this biography of the late AC/DC singer Scott (1947-80) can be summed up by one of his frank quotes: "They say to me, 'Are you AC or DC?,' and I say, 'Neither, I'm the lightnin' flash in the middle.' " After joining one of rock'n'roll's landmark bands, he provided the creative and charismatic spark necessary for AC/DC to reach worldwide fame. And like a flash of lightning, he quickly faded, suffering a well-documented alcohol-related death. Gladly, Walker (Stranded: The Secret History of Australian Independent Music) not only illustrates the early stages of AC/DC but also takes readers on a rollicking tour through the formative years of Australia's rock scene and Scott's prior musical career as a reluctant teen pop star. Littered with drunken escapades, throngs of loose women, and ample road stories, this work proves that the term "sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll" isn't just a catch phrase; it's a way of life. Recommended for larger public libraries and all music collections, as it sheds some much-needed light on Down Under's musical roots. Robert Morast, "Argus Daily Leader," Sioux Falls, SD

Book Description Condition: Muy bueno. A biography of AC/DC singer Bon Scott who died in London in 1980. He was arguably one of the last wild men of rock, a working class hero who, through songs like "Jailbreak", "Long Way To The Top", and "Highway to Hell", embodied the tearaway spirit. Spanning nearly three decades, Scott's career is virtually emblematic of the very emergence of Australian music, from the pin-up idol days of the 1960s, through the hippie daze of the early 1970s, to the rock of AC/DC.
