This Day in History: Singer Brian Johnson was born on this day in 1947. BJ became the lead singer of AC/DC in 1980 after the death of Bon Scott. His first album with AC/DC, Back in Black, became the second best-selling album of all time according to most estimates. The Guardian ranked the successful transition to Johnson at No. 36 on their list of 50 key events in rock music history.
Did you know that researchers use AC/DC music to help combat cancer?
"Researchers at the University of South Australia have found that playing ‘Thunderstruck’ during chemotherapy treatment is effective at improving the efficiency of the drug. They chose this AC/DC track because it hits all the right notes. Vibrations from the song cause silicon micro particles carrying the chemo drug inside a vacuum to bounce. This results in a polymer coating that prevents the drug from escaping while being administered, improving delivery to cancer cells."
And of course, no one does AC/DC like Pat Boone.
