AC/DC Fans Want To Name Lane After BON SCOTT

December 13, 2010

According to Brimbank Weekly, AC/DC fans have launched a campaign to dedicate a lane in honor of the band's former lead singer and resident of Sunshine (a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia),Bon Scott.

Scott lived in Sunshine for five years between 1951 and 1956 and went to Sunshine Primary School.

Former Sunshine resident Paul Murphy is preparing a proposal calling on Brimbank council to name an unnamed lane between Derby Road and Corio Street Bon Scott Lane.

"More people know AC/DC than they do HV McKay and having a Bon Scott Lane will make Sunshine famous all around the world," he said.

"Bon lived in Sunshine, went to school there and played one of his first gigs there.

"He would have walked down the laneway we're looking to dedicate to him, because it was a shortcut for kids to get to Sunshine Tech and Sunshine Primary."

Melbourne, Australia's AC/DC Lane was officially named in 2004 to honor the band's link to the city where they lived and wrote their first two albums.
