Now Bubba needs to get Brian Johnson in the studio. I know they've mentioned having him on the show a few times in the past (lives in Florida) but I dont know if they have since they have been on Sirius.
I had run into a few pictures of Brian in racing clothes, posted a few in a few listening threads.
Brian might want to get into racing with Bubba and Gene. He could afford to own or sponsor cars even if he didn't want to race.
Lots of stuff on Youtube of him racing in various types of races.

A team featuring AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson won a British reality TV show this weekend, and Johnson wound up sending one of his competitors to the hospital. Johnson was among those taking part in The Race, which saw two five-person teams battling each other in things including monster trucks, hovercraft, and off-road buggies. It was during the finale, while driving Grand Prix race cars at speeds in excess of 100 miles an hour, that Johnson's car clipped the back of one driven by British rapper Ms. Dynamite, and she spun out of control and crashed. The hip-hop star was treated at the racetrack and later was taken to a hospital, where she was kept overnight for observation.
Now that he's got some free time again, maybe Johnson can convince Angus and Malcolm Young to finish the AC/DC album they've been working on for a few years |

| Brian Johnson has been on Jim Breuer's show a few times, they are friends. it was before Howard came tho, don't know if he's been to NY since. Breuer's sister married a comedian that was good friends with Johnson, and Breuer sat beside him at the reception. I think he said it was in '92.. |

He races with his wife!
Quote: WATKINS GLEN | Brian Johnson, the vocalist for iconic rock band AC/DC, spent the weekend with his wife Brenda at Watkins Glen International for the Chemung Canal Trust Historic Races, but not as a spectator.
Johnson was racing his very rare Royale RP-4, which was introduced in 1970 and is one of only 12 British-made cars in existence.
The Royale was built by upstarts in an engineering company who felt they could build a better machine than the auto manufacturers.
However, Sunday the Royale wasn't at its peak.
"We haven't run very well here this weekend," Johnson said. "We've had a carburetor problem, but we're trying some new carburetors out. It's like anything else. It takes time to get the kinks worked out, so we're a little off the pace."
In Sunday's Rolex Vintage enduro race, Johnson was 21 laps off the pace, finishing 37th in a 44-car field.
"I think we should have left the old carburetors on, but if you leave everything the same, you're not going forward," he said. "We're trying new things to make ourselves competitive."
Brenda Johnson's pace was considerably better as she finished 27th in a 1957 Austin Healey Sprite. This is the first time since 1998 the Johnsons have raced at The Glen.
Brian Johnson and AC/DC released a new studio album in that time and have been touring. But he wasn't going to miss an opportunity to race in Schuyler County this weekend.
"The history of this race and this course are the best, especially the gut-wrenching turns," Johnson said. "I just love this track and the town. It's just gorgeous and everyone is so friendly. I never hear anyone say a bad thing about this place." |

When googling "brian johnson" this picture with Brent from a few years back came up 3rd.
Brian would be a cool guest. He has appeared in some movies now, his voice was used in a popular video game "Call of Duty: finest hour" as a drill Seargent (he knows a lot about militaries and history, Brent and him would have lots to talk about)
..... and he wrote a musical (inspired when watching how much Cats sucked) about "Helen of Troy", which is also in developement as a ballet. Not many older common man type of rockers do that, but i know there is also a Helen of Troy documentary that features Brian telling the story and travelling to Greece.
They also are supposed to have an album coming out, right away, for 3 years now.... |

Really?!?!?! That is cool, did not know that.
Have you ever seen Jim's "the hokey pokey" at the end of his "Breuer unleashed" where he does an amazing impression of Brian Johnson. |
