My absolute favourite AC/DC song. This is them at their most bluesy. Its the now 25th anniverary of Bons death here in my hometown of Perth, Australia, where Bon was raised. Theres all sorts of tributes going on and a lot of discussion about Bon. The prevailing attitude is that, as a songwriter, Bon was only interested in women, drugs and booze, and that he had no sensistive side. I would direct people who have that opinion to have a listen to this tune. For me, the lyrics are some of the finest ever written. They're about change, reflection...but not written in a poetic, sugar coated (dare I say it - Dylan like?) manner - just an honest, working class man's assessment of his life. Its like hes giving advice, but not giving advice - he's just talkng to you. He could be any bloke down at the pub. He is everyman's rock star, he is a blue collar hero to millions. He is Bon.
