2960.0. "AC/DC, just being boys" by WMOIS::POIRIER () Tue Aug 02 1994 14:11

Thought I'd share this with you folks, it's kinda hard to believe.
I filmed a wedding for some friends a while back and part of the
filming was done in the limo. I asked the driver if he ever had
anyone interesting in the back. He said "ya, last night some group
by the name AC/DC back there", he was an older guy. "There must have
been some mess to clean up back there", I said.
"nope, didn't even hear them". The driver said they only asked one
thing, if they could take a soda from the fridge for their wives.
The driver went on to say he was given a pass to watch the show from
the side of the stage. This is when his good clean boys impression
left his face. When the first cord was struck the band truned into
animals he said, he had to leave the stage and remained in the limo
until the group got back in. It was like a switch was truned on and
off, outside they were just like anyonelse but on stage the switch
is turned on, let the show begin.
It made me think about what these people go through. They do their job
just like we do our job. Some carry it to an extrem as do some of us
in our work place.
Just though I'd share

| It's like Andre Agassi says "Image is everything".
I think this is probably true for a lot of people - they have a public
persona that's very different from the real person.
I believe that's the case with David Lee Roth for example.
I have no real objection to creating an "image" but it does make me
appreciate the guys who decide to forego that and just be themselves.
It's something I can respect even if I don't like them or their music.
