Farewell to a legend

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8524335.stm

Legend? Really?

While I am sad at anyones death, I can't say I recognised the name. Having said that, I had to google Bon Scott earlier too. I just think the word "legend" is a bit over-used and is too readily applied to mediocre entertainers.

Yup always sad whenever someone dies – however I think it is emotive for those who grew up with him in films like Chitty Chitty etc 🙂 Although not sure what it has to do with cycling? 😉

Well, I thought he was ace, and I am of a certain age where Chitty Chitty Bang Bang meant something to me!

Yeah, yeah, wrong forum, I know. Bad day!

Wow, sad. Not as sad if it had been Lionel Ritchie, which is how I first read it.

"legend" is a very personal thing, I guess…

"Hello….."

More of a "Dancing on the Ceiling" man meself, takes all sorts though!

You had to google Bon Scott WTF

You had to google Bon Scott WTF

Aye – what about it? I'm sure I could mentino the names of artists in other bands who've had a lot more influence and success and you'd not know them.

I'd never heard of Bon Scott either. I'm 44 so it's not the ignorance of youth!

I've just googled Bon Scott too.

More sad that his 50 year career is summarized as ' that bloke what was pretending to be Dick VD's dad in Chitty chitty Bang bang'

very sad. I bet there were loads of other things he was vastly more proud of.

No longer off to India to have tea with the Maharaja.

😥

I've just googled Bon Scott too.

I am too lazy too. Who is Bon Scott?

My uncle bought his house off him……

Lives in Dubai now

Life eh…..

What's Bon Scott got to do with Lionel Jefferies? 😕

You lot are at the winds ups with the whole Bon Scott google nonsense….aren't you 😕

I thought he was the actor in Hook and was floored when it turned out to be Dustin Hoffman! Perhaps Hoffman used him as a method model…

bon scott who's he? I'm gonna have a punt at an explorer.

"What's Bon Scott got to do with Lionel Jefferies"

that one mans 'legend' is another mans 'I'll just google to find out who this is about'.

Ronald Belford "Bon" Scott (9 July 1946 – 19 February 1980) was a Scottish-born Australian rock musician, best known for being the lead singer and lyricist of Australian hard rock band AC/DC from 1974 until his death in 1980.[1] He was born in Kirriemuir, Scotland, and emigrated to Melbourne, Australia with his family in 1952 at the age of six.

Aha! he is a singer, not as famous as Freddie Mercury or Eazy-e though who also died to young.

Talking of shit music…Can some-one explain to me the whole 50 yr old midget dressed like a school boy thing going on there…What is that all about?

ah, no slapper – you're thinking of Brian Blessed there

Bon Scott is a legend to anyone who likes rock n roll. (And I did term him a rock n roll legend in my post). I know there will be plenty of people who haven't heard of him.

Just like Lionel Ritchie is a legend to anyone who likes Chitty Chitty Gang Bang.

I'm confused, who is Bon Scott and what part did he play in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?

and back on topic.

Let me guess, lyrics from a a Bon Scott song?

Or is it Lionel Ritchie?

I'm fairly sure he was child catcher…although scaredypants seems to think he was/is Brian blessed, which is a bit confusing.

no nickc, he just played Brian Blessed's dad – in the movie Lionel!

Has Lionel Blair died?

No, Bon Scott was in Black Sabbath not the Wurzels
