Bon Scott and East Dulwich


TheCat

Recommended Posts

As an Australian and a rock fan....I have always had a special affinity for Bon Scott (the original lead singer of AC/DC when they first 'broke through' for those not aware)


Next week (19th Feb) marks the 39th Anniversary of his Death, which I've only just learned was in East Dulwich...in a car outside 67 Overhill Road...


A sad day to reflect on for his family/friends and AC/DC fans...while also a notable link for East Dulwich with a rock and Roll Hall of Famer...


Any other historic ED rock linkages forumites are aware of?

Some good stuff here about Bon.


Thanks for the links.


I used to walk my dog Toke up Overhill Road at nights, around the block of flats that we used to call the battleship, as that's what it looked like from over by Horniman's museum, as I used to live on the corner of Underhill and Overhill Road, well the 1st house around the corner.


After I heard about Bon I have often wondered if I had walked past the car he was in when taking my dog out, I used to stay up quite late in those days, toking the night away.


Yeah most of us liked to get wrecked one way or another.

    • You haven’t answered the question… who has been pressuring the emergency services and how exactly? We all know the answer of course.. no one. As for anyone driving through Dulwich Square without realising that they’re not meant to - well they should t be behind a wheel at all frankly. I have no idea what the ‘far left’ has to do with Dulwich LTN either 😂  
    • Ahh!! Poor snail, isn't nature cruel!
    • But you have to assess whether these persistent drivers are creating more safety issues than diverting emergency vehicles on a longer route and clearly they are not. The fact members of the pro-closure lobby have built their argument on this actually shows how desperate, some would say selfish, they are to have the junction closed and just the way they want it. And unfortunately they seem to have the council over a barrel on something as the council weakly concedes to their position without hesitation. Was this not borne from an FOI that said one of the emergency services confirmed that they had not been consulted on the new DV design that Cllr Leeming then said was actually a mistake by the emergency services - and then it's a case of whether you believe Cllr Leeming or not....and his track record is hardly unblemished when it comes to all things LTNs? Exactly! When the "small vocal minority" was given a mouthpiece that proved it was anything other than small then some have repeatedly tried to discredit the mouthpiece.  The far-left has never been very good at accountability and One Dulwich is forcing our local councillors and council to be accountable to constituents and it wouldn't surprise me if the council are behind a lot of the depositioning activities as One Dulwich is stopping them from getting CPZs rolled out and must be seen as a huge thorn in the side of the idealogical plan they have. Southwark Labour has a long track record of trying to stifle constituents with a view that differs from theirs (see Cllr Leo Pollack for one example) or depositioning anyone trying to represent them (see Cllr Williams during the infamous Cllr Rose "mansplaining" episode. But you know, some think it's One Dulwich that are the greatest threat to local democracy and should not be trusted! 😉
    • A song thrush visited my back garden today. I watched as it smashed open a snail by whacking it against the patio.
