24 Hours of AC/DC on VH1
If you are like me and shun sex to watch VH1 Classic, then Sunday October 19 is your day to not masturbate or fuck. VH1 Classic is running a 24 hour marathon of AC/DC that will include archive footage, classic concerts, and a reshowing of Live at Donnington.
VH1 is calling it "Total AC/DC" probably because "Sexless Sunday for Craig Wettner" didn't have the same ring. This is being done to promote the upcoming cd release of Black Ice, which will be released October 20 exclusively through Wal-Mart. The line-up is below:
