Happy Birthday Malcolm from a fan I waiting for AC/DC Ireland to Cork
First off let me say it’s a honor just to believe one of y’all of AC/DC will see or read this. I am a young man that was raised with good taste in music. Story be told my dad would sit me in front of our giant speakers as an infant and crank high voltage. And I would literally sleep like a baby. Your music is an inspiration and a kick start to become someone or somebody. I have used your music in my life in all sorts of different aspects. For now i love to sit back with a cold one and listen. And think. Your music is that form of music that can take you somewhere. And yes I try to sing like Bon and Brian but know it will never happen. I wish I would have gotten to see you guys live. You guys played I believe in Montana during the Black Ice tour and I was to broke and in school that it wasn’t in my budget. Now as an adult I wish I had the chance. My name is Tyler Goff and I’d like to say your music will live through my family for the years to come. Whether it be driving in the car. At work.
If you ever get an ant in your pants and want a good rock festival to check into. Rockintherivers.com it’s in Three Forks, MT. Me and my wife and her family go every year. It would be just awesome to meet you guys.
