AC/DC demands Sox change pregame anthem


With the White Sox dropping 12 of their last 16, members of the band AC/DC have demanded the team stop using their hard-rocking tour de force "Thunderstruck" to pump up the crowd at home games.

"We can't have ‘Thunderstruck'--or any of our songs, really--associated with an American baseball team that sucks so incredibly hard," guitar god Angus Young said from his home in Sydney, Australia. "Perhaps they could find another one from the vast classic rock catalog. Like, say, 'Free Fallin' by Tom Petty. That would make a lot more sense."

Pundits weren't surprised by the band's decision.

"'Thunderstruck' is a hard-charging, hell-raising ode to kicking ass," Rolling Stone rock critic Steve Keegan. "The fact that the Sox continue to use it is an absolute travesty. In the name of all that rocks, either start playing a lot better or stop using that song."


...thanks to "The Heckler"

Well at least the cubs aren't doing to badly this year...

Maybe their 89 years are up.

Personally, I'm holding out some hope the Indians might actually pull one off this year.

They are due damnit!

Awww. At least there's a case to be made comparing the White Sox dugout and Brian Johnson's incoherent screeching.

Otherwise I refuse to engage in this nastiness.





ps Cubs suck.
