And to give you an example, I'm going to give you one of one of my most awkward stories.
I remember hearing this killer song on the radio.
I'd never heard the song, never heard of the band.
You know, the song was brand new.
The band had been around for a little while, but it was right as I was getting into some louder stuff.
You know, I was 14 years old.
So when I heard ACDCs, you shook me all night long.
I mean, it blew me away.
It was just like, yes, the guitar.
you know Angus Young and the vocals Brian Johnson I just could not stand or sit still when this song came on I couldn't hear it enough so I went out I bought the 45 you know and like a lot of kids my age you know I'd go in my room crank up the song and I would and this is this is where it gets awkward it's a little embarrassing but I but I also know a lot of us did this and don't try to deny it you'd have that mirror right above your dresser
You know, when the song is playing, you'd be playing the air guitar and doing the air vocals to the song.
And, you know, I did this kind of thing all the time, you know?
But I'd really get into it when I put, you shook me all night long on the turntable.
You know, I'd really put my heart and soul in this air performance, right?
Jamming like Angus in my own head, you know?
I'd just be legendary, right?
Singing like Brian Johnson and just mimicking the whole thing.
In fact, I would be so good.
I mean, the crowd, they would, they would just go insane screaming and shouting my name and I'd get lost in this performance.
Now, the unfortunate thing about this was I had no lock on my door, you know, and of course the song would be loud so I couldn't hear the door opening, right?
You know, I tried to be conscious of seeing the door in my peripheral vision, but I didn't quite notice it in time.
this one time and I was really like I say getting lost in this performance and uh so during one of my extra bestest sweaty rock and roll performances I saw my door opening you know it got to about halfway and I just sat down on my bed like really quick and I don't know if my dad saw
any of this this air performance of mine I hope he didn't I still to this day and it's uh boy it's about 40 years later and I still don't know I know he saw me just sitting there I was out of breath I was sweaty I was sitting on my sitting on my bed and you shook me all night long was still just cranking out and uh and my dad just came in and said hey it's a little loud in here and and then he looked at me and said are you okay
You know, cause I was sitting there and it wasn't, it wasn't particularly hot in the house, but I was sweating my, sweating my head off.
So I said, yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
I'm just listening to some tunes, dad.
That's all I'm doing.
And then he just kind of chuckled a little bit.
And he said, okay, well just, you know, keep it down.
I said, okay.
And then he left and was like, oh, and I didn't come out of my room for the rest of the night.
You know, I just sat there and eventually went to bed and then the next morning got up and went to school that, you know, that's one of those awkward stories.
You know, every time I hear you shook me all night long, that is exactly what I think of now.
