"Very eye opening . . . Jesse Fink has done rock fans a great service. He dispels the many myths about how AC/DC' s Bon Scott lived and died, and in doing so, brings to life one of the most influential, memorable, and complex figures in rock history. " -- Greg Renoff, author of Van Halen Rising "Wildly obsessive and doggedly researched, Bon: The Last Highway sifts through the myths for the truth of what happened to Bon Scott on his last day on earth. Jesse Fink, who seemingly spoke to everyone, moves through a complex web of misconceptions, biases, and addiction-marred memories, connecting narrative strands and hitherto unknown facts. As with Hank Williams -- another iconic singer who died mysteriously in the backseat of a car on a lost highway -- the story of Bon Scott and his tragic demise may never be accurately known, but this one-man investigation, born of respect for the truth and for Scott as a human being, blazes a new trail. " -- Joe Bonomo, author of AC/DC' s Highway To Hell (33 1/3 Series)
