If you're a Sirius subscriber and missed it, you need to catch a replay of today's interview with Brian Johnson (guaranteed it's in the "best of the week" replay on Friday.

The greatest interviewer out there really did a phenomenal job with Mr. Johnson today. What a fascinating dude who has accomplished it all and is humble and wise as can be.

He was there to plug his book "Rockers and Rollers: A Full Throttle Memoir" (which I just ordered from Amazon). He said that he has all of these stories from his life and most of them involved cars. Thus, he wrote a book of all of these car-related stories. Count me in.

I've been waiting for this one to come out in the States-too lazy/cheap to buy it from England.

Yes, great interview. I loved the part where he mentioned losing his steering at Road Atlanta last week and almost hit the wall.

It actually makes more sense now:

She was a fast machine
She kept her motor clean
She was the best damn woman I had ever seen
She had the sightless eyes
Telling me no lies
Knockin' me out with those American thighs
Taking more than her share
Had me fighting for air
She told me to come but I was already there

'Cause the walls start shaking
The earth was quaking
My mind was aching
And we were making it and you -

Shook me all night long

Working double time
On the seduction line
She was one of a kind, she's just mine all mine
She wanted no applause
Just another course
Made a meal out of me and came back for more
Had to cool me down
To take another round
Now I'm back in the ring to take another swing

'Cause the walls were shaking
The earth was quaking
My mind was aching it and you -

Shook me all night long
