I saw AC [howls, same initials as my wife!] around 1990 I guess, as
part of Operation Rock and Roll, along with Motorhead and Judas
Priest headlining.  I was prepared for AC to be horrible.  This would
have been when Hey Stoopid was released.  Anyway, AC rocked the
house.  He had a great bunch of young turks backing him up, and
everything sounded great.  Swept up in a nostalgic moment?  Possibly,
though I'm not really given to that despite my advanced age.  Drunk
out of my ass?  Definitely, but that wouldn't make me like a band
that sucked.  For the record, Motorhead would have stolen the show
exc. that JP were really hot that night.  Was that JP's last tour
with Rob?
