Highway to Wal-Mart
AC/DC has just signed a deal to distribute their next album exclusively through Wal-Mart. I'm not sure what this says about the industry, but I'm sure it has something to do with lowest common denominator, slippery slopes and mediocrity. Weigh in with your thoughts to help clear mine.Read the full story hear.
I was never a big ACDC fan.. but it is thoroughly dissappointing... How does one metamorphasize from a band whose gimic was to protest conventional norms by 'proudly proclaiming to be satanists' ... to a band that releases its album with THE most conformist corporation in America? It's disconcerting to say the least. But I suppose the operative word here is "gimic".

I used to rock to AC/DC quite frequently back in the day. Even rode the same plane from Phoenix to LA with them, sat behind Brian Johnson. The lady next to him had no idea. People were bringing their puke bags over for autographs. I may only own one cd, Back in Black, but what can I say? If you consider that Wal-Mart is corporate evil, then this band fits like a glove if AC/DC's personification is still satanism.
