Patrick Donovan, who pens the "Sticky Column" for Australia's The Age, has issued the following report:

Clinton Walker, the author of the Bon Scott biography "Highway to Hell", has opened a can of worms in the latest issue of Rolling Stone by questioning the singer's uncredited role on the "Back in Black" album, which was recorded soon after his death.

He also quotes Scott's last girlfriend, Anna Baba, who says he had drummed up titles such as "Rock 'n' Roll Ain't Noise Pollution" and had books of lyrics that mysteriously disappeared from his flat. "There are trace elements of Scott all over the album; titles and couplets that, if he didn't write, certainly do him proud," says Walker.

And speaking of AC/DC, a "Sticky" colleague has tracked down an article from the Adelaide Advertiser, with then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger speaking out about the band, nine years before becoming the Pope.

He described AC/DC as an "instrument of the devil" and claimed the initials AC/DC stood for the Satanic phrase "Anti-Christ, Death to Christ". He told a Mass at the Vatican that "subliminal" Satanic words could be found in their songs as well as hits by THE BEATLES, THE ROLLING STONES, PINK FLOYD, BLACK SABBATH and even THE EAGLES.
