"Big Jack" by AC/DC. A reading

From the desk of Ned P. Rauch:

Today the Ten Dollar Radio Show begins a new poetry series called Is This Thing On?

Once a week or so, Pete or I (and maybe even celebrity guests) will take a song and strip it to its core, boiling off the fat of guitar effects, sanding away burrs such as snare drums and crash symbols, draining chord progressions and lancing melody and rhythm till all that's left is the essence of the song: its words. And then, to keep the words from being lonely, we'll add some sweet background noises.

We start with "Big Jack," a cut from AC/DC's latest effort, "Black Ice." We hope you enjoy the performance, and hope you check back soon for more installments of Is This Thing On?

Push that little "pod" icon to the left of the post, find a beret and dig it, man.
