MAXIM Magazine Names Angus Young "Greatest Short Dude of All Time."

NEW YORK - Friday, November 18, 2005 - Angus Young, lead guitarist of AC/DC, tops Maxim's list of the "25 greatest short dudes of all time," standing tall at 5 feet 2 inches! Former NBA guard Spud Webb, at 5 feet 7 inches, is No. 2, followed by Napoleon Bonaparte (5 feet 4 inches). The magazine, in its December issue, claims to be helping women "begin a long overdue fight against their genetically determined shallowness when choosing a partner." Yoda, of "Star Wars" fame, at No. 6, is the shortest on the list. His height is calculated at 2 feet 2 inches.

Anybody who has spent much time with me knows my feelings about AC/DC being the greatest straight ahead rock and roll band of all time, and that Angus himself is one of my very few personal heroes. His down to earth persona and humble approach to all things media are a fine example of how a person who achieves incredible fame should act.

May he continue to rock for a long time!!!
