Excellent picture of an excellent album. "The Black Album" is absolutely one of my favorite AC/DC albums. Not quite on par with "Nevermind", but it's definitely up there. "Stairway to heaven" alone makes this one of John Foggertys legendary works.

PS: It was a loss to the band when Wes Borland left, but David Gilmore is a pretty great replacement drummer.

Then by year two of his lockdown, Newton was inserting a tiny lever under his own eyeball, inside the eye socket, to try and figure out how the eye captures and processes light.

I wonder what Newton would have done if he were alive today and tried to figure out furries.

And calculating far too many digits of π by hand

To many people back then, a prism turning a sumbeam into a spray of colors must have seemed like actual magic happening right before their eyes.

Still does.
