I mean, the building was half the charm. I’ll give this a try but I’m skeptical.
^totally agree

I would say even more than half

Did he molest a kid or something?

I thought his drug problems were well known.
Yeah drugs really ruin legacies…..not


I recently read a biography of Bon Scott that laid out a pretty compelling case that he died from a heroin overdose and not alcohol… I always thought this was a strong possibility when I read years ago that on the night of death he had been hanging with Peter Perrett of the only ones (complete heroin junkie)… anyways… the book describes the circle of people Bon was hanging with those weeks in London and it’s so many heroin junkies, dabblers, dealers…very sad.. that same circle took the two guys from the Prrtenders too… it also apparently had something to do with the Iranian Revolution! Rich people fleeing Iran found it easier to get the money out in heroin and the heroin was really powerful..more powerful than what people in London were used to… I guess I can blame the Ayatollah Khomeini for Bon Scott’s death
Yeah sorry, I don't respect God given talent that overdoses on Fent and Meth.  You do you, though. I Iost respect for Prince for the same reason.  But hey, at least they didn't molest kids, right?

It was accidental… not like he did it on purpose.

You could die of a heart attack after your bottle of shiraz and a cannon tonight.

Unless he was a big anti-drug advocate pushing for punishment of users, he's fine in my book.

Did he make stupid choices? Sure. Many of us have. It doesn't make the greatness of his musical output any less.

dude, addiction is a disease.  of the mind.  i would have thought you would have a little sympathy…

also, i've never understood people who can't separate art from the artist.  "yeah, that's the most beautiful song ever recorded, but the singer is a jerk so i don't like the song."
