National treasure and beacon of merriment in these troubled times, list MSP Christine Grahame is to present a motion to Holyrood demanding that Aussie rockers AC/DC be honoured in Scotland.Ms Grahame told The JT: "When Malcolm and Angus Young formed the band a scant 10000 miles away from Scotland in Sydney back in 1973, I bet they never thought that one day a middle-aged woman with far too much time on her hands would be seeking unsolicited honours on their behalf."

There are other ill's and aliments that the country should be looking at and addressing , but some kind of acknowledgement for these guys - ac/dc and Bon Scott is more than overdue... , one of the biggest rock'n'roll bands on the planet and very few people in Scotland even know that they're "home grown" ,... come on ...
