Give me a dose of certainty, lads!

Writer Alexis Petridis has an intriguing piece in Britain's GUARDIAN newspaper, linking the success of AC/DC with ECONOMIC HARD TIMES.
Petridis notes that sales of the band's latest offering, "Black Ice," have soared while the global economy has soured.
"AC/DC's appeal in unpredictable times is straightforward," Petridis writes. "People crave something uncomplicated and dependable in a time of uncertainty, and rock music has never produced a band so uncomplicated and dependable as AC/DC."

The story inspired me to slip the band's "FAMILY JEWELS" DVD collection into the player this morning, and I am now rocking out to Angus and the lads as I prepare for work.
There is something oddly comforting about the band that never changes!
