And now they are the stuff of Guitar Hero 3 and Rock Band. I’m sorry, nothing says you are mainstream quite like being included in xBox software.

- Guess you have a point there. But to me, AC/DC will always be true rebels just like Lincoln, Washington and Churchill were.

A good example of a false rock’n’roll rebel, someone only POSING as a rebel is Malcolm McLaren, the man behind Sex Pistols. (Lead singer) Johnny Rotten was, at least to some extent, a true punk rocker, but Malcolm McLaren was nothing but a cold hearted cynic who probably never will care much about the death of neither Sid Vicious or Nancy Spungen (whether or not Sid actually killed Nancy).

Personally, I don't share the political views of Johnny Rotten, but at least he is a sincere person who has displayed an capacity for human emotions.

I think the same thing goes for legends like Elvis Presley, Jimi Hendrix (who, in fact, was less of a hippie than one might think - among other things he was assigned to the 101st Airborne Division and as far as I know, he remained loyal to the U.S. Army in heart, even if he wasn't regarded as very much of a soldier by his army comrades and officers) and this could also be said about the members of AC/DC.

I thought when mature women in Asia sang covers of your songs it meant that you were "mainstream"
