First time I've heard of this.

From Wikipedia...

AC/DC (also pronounced Acadaca) are an Australian-British hard rock band formed in Sydney, Australia in 1973 by brothers Angus and Malcolm Young.

Acadaca? WTF?

Because if it's on Wikipedia, it's gotta be true!

Right?

Hmmm, now I think I'll edit Spawn's listing... [img]wink.gif[/img]

Probably a slang term only used in Australia...

Check this out...

AC/DC first played in America on the radio station AM 600 WTAC (based in Flint, Michigan). The station's manager, Peter C. Cavanaugh, booked the band to play in Flint's 'Capitol Theater' in the autumn of 1977. The opening act was The MC5 who were briefly reunited and agreed to play the event. AC/DC opened with their popular song, 'Live Wire' and closed with 'It's a Long Way to The Top (If You Wanna Rock & Roll)'. The entire event is chronicled in Cavanaugh's book. [13]

Peter C. Cavanaugh was my last boss at Comcast before I left. He was fired not long after for swearing at another manager. That guy was a pistol! (He probably wrote that entry into Wikipedia [img]wink.gif[/img] )

And yet another hair band proves to be within five degrees of Andyman.

I would not consider them a hair band but I'm sure Kevin Bacon is connected somehow. [img]wink.gif[/img]

Here's another connection for you, Chet. [img]wink.gif[/img]
