"I've been on the road for thirteen years," AC/DC singer Scott said in 1978. "Planes, hotels, groupies, booze . . . they all scrape something from you." Pumped up by producer Lange, "Highway" is the last will and testament of Scott: When he yells, "Don't stop me," right before Angus Young's guitar solo, it's clear that no one could -- he drank himself to death in 1980.
