Why AC/DC Matters

Rock author Anthony Bozza throws down
the gauntlet when he states, “AC/DC is the greatest living rock band, end of story.” Coming from him, this means something.
Bozza’s perspective in WHY AC/DC MATTERS is unique, combining the keen analytical eye of a pop culture critic with the zeal of a true music lover. In his book, we hear from rockers Tommy Lee and Slash, multiple
