Spotlight Conversations

John Jackson of the Bon Scott (AC/DC) Estate talks tribute concerts, rock and roll and the enduring legacy of rock's all-time great frontman

Donna Reed Episode 138

It's a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll, and in New York, it's gonna be the place for doing just that with a special birthday bash. The celebration? Honoring what would have been Bon Scott's 79th birthday: 'The Second Annual Official Bon Scott Birthday Bash', taking place July 9 at the Bowery Electric - and John Jackson, who works with the Bon Scott Estate (an A&R exec who holds the first-ever B.A. in Rock and Roll History, in addition to being a member of The Jayhawks) drops by the studio to tell us about it! We talk about Bon and AC/DC's legendary rock n' roll adventures, starting with the classic debut album, "High Voltage", the 'Bon-era' of the band plus the stories about who this unforgettable rock frontman of Bon Scott was all about. Listen in as we discuss the enduring legacy of rock's all-time great frontman. Bring along your love of classic rock and join us!


About the Spotlight Conversations podcast:

Tune in as I invite friends inside my cozy linoleum free recording studio to talk about all things media - radio, television, music, film, voiceovers, audiobooks, publishing - if guests are in the spotlight, we're talkin'! Refreshingly unscripted and unusually entertaining, listen in as each guest gets real about their careers in the entertainment biz, from where they started to how it's going. Settle into my swanky studio where drinks are on ice and the conversation starters are music + media - always a deal breaker for the rock and roll homemaker!

Listen to Donna every night starting at 9 on Houston Radio Platinum, along with a special program she hosts every Tuesday and Thursday night at 10 called 'Late Night Music Stories'.
