AC/DC: 'Let There Be Rock' Book Extracts Available
September 11, 2006According to a posting on the AC/DC fan site Crabsody In Blue, Susan Masino — the author of the book "Let there be Rock: The Story of AC/DC" — recently launched a web site to promote her book. Extracts of the book can be read at www.storyofacdc.com. In a posting on the web site, she writes, "I have been a rock journalist for the last twenty-nine years, and was lucky enough to meet AC/DC on their first American tour in 1977.
"Over the years I have had the honor and the privilege of staying in touch with the band, following their incredible climb to superstardom. As I researched their legacy for this book, I literally studied their history a week at a time for the course of a thirty-two year career. Needless to say, I learned a lot about the band!
"Knowing AC/DC made writing this book even harder because they have always valued their privacy. To report the true story of their rise to fame, I had to confront long-held beliefs about the band while keeping in mind the diehard fans that already know a lot about them, the new fan that wants to learn everything, and the band members themselves.
"Personally I am very proud of the final result. I think you will enjoy 'Let There Be Rock: The Story of AC/DC'. And hopefully it sheds some light on all they have been through and what has made them one of the greatest rock 'n' roll bands in the world."
