This is just insane. A while back, the Rat ran a contest for an AC/DC concert. We did the old "Listen for the AC/DC montage" contest, where we play a bunch of the bands song clips in rapid fire succession. We then take a phone call from a listener who thinks they can name all of the songs played in the montage in order. If they do, they win tickets to the concert. Simple, right ?

However, one of the beautiful things about live radio is that, well it's live, and anything can and usually does happen. Such was the case the time I took a post montage call from "Bob". Bob sounded really excited. He was. Bob sounded like he knew who he was talking to. He did. Bob sounded like he was ready to win! He wasn't.

Like so many of our treasured Rat Rock Nation, Bob got a little, as they say, over his skis. He heard "tickets", and his natural Pavlovian instincts took over. Bob called me up and tried to win tickets. The fact that he had to have listened to the AC/DC montage and then tell me all the song titles in it got past good 'ol Bob, and well, hilarity ensued.

I honestly had forgotten all about this call, as I believe it was a few years ago, pre Pandemic, if I'm not mistaken. Luckily, and enterprising young Tik Tokker named Bob Danks not only either recorded the break, or found it somewhere on the interwebs, but he did his own parody of sorts to it. He plays both ME Jimmy Steal the DJ, and Bob the caller from Brick! His timing isn't perfect, but his acting and facial expressions are impeccable.

I hope you enjoy this shit as much as I did! Thanks Bob..And Bob?

Malcolm Young was born on January 6, 1953.

The iconic rhythm guitarist remains one of the most influential figures in rock as the backbone and creative driving force behind AC/DC. When he passed away in November 2017 due to dementia, a number of tributes cropped up including a couple of murals in Melbourne, Australia.

The Malcolm Young murals are can be found on AC/DC Lane. It's a narrow roadway within Melbourne's central business district. Each mural is based on popular photographs of Young. One is a close-up portrait, and the other showing Young with a guitar.

In honor of his birthday, scroll through the gallery below to check out these stunning tributes to Malcolm Young.
