When we were kids, my cousins Brian and Brandon were deemed "totally weird" by my sister and I. We were quite certain that there was no way we were really blood relatives of these two. They were overweight and pimply and had shaggy greasy hair. They wore big baggy t-shirts with holes in them and cut-offs. They played role-playing games and mouth-breathed. They walked around saying things like "heavy metal rules". One of their favorite bands was AC/DC.
It has never ceased to amaze me that a man in our culture can sing in such a high-pitched falsetto and no one questions his manhood. It seems so unlike us. Maybe it helps that he is singing songs with titles like "Let Me Put My Love Into You" and "What Will You Do For Money Honey". Charming.
I am pretty ashamed to admit that I kind of liked this album. Liking this album makes me feel like a bad feminist. I am even more ashamed to admit that I liked listening to this album with the volume turned way up on my stereo while nodding my head repeatedly. Maybe I do share a few genes with Brian and Brandon afterall.
Favorite Tracks: "Back In Black", "You Shook Me All Night Long"

Pssh. Fuck that noise. If feminism can't be about TEH RAWK sometimes, then I don't want to be part of that party.
You know my kid (had she been a boy) would have been named Angus (in part) for Angus Young, right?
