For Malcolm Young
A gentle, elf-like man with a razor wit and soft heart
Devoted husband, father, son and brother
Loyal friend
Talented tunesmith
Shrewd businessman
But most of all, decent to the core
To have everything you worked for swiftly wiped from memory
Along with your recognition of those you love the most
A greater tragedy cannot be imagined
I believe you will remember them again when your soul flies free
I believe you will always love them regardless of what your mind allows you to recall
Those who loved your music grieve for you
And for those who love you best
Dear Malcolm, you don't deserve this
You are better than whatever disease has taken your mind away
Nothing can ever remove you from the hearts of those who love you
Especially those who were a part of you
And will be forever
You are a special person
More than a music icon
The world was a better place because of you.
Love from Blooming Psycho and Team Netherworld
Brothers and best friends, forever
AC/DC's rhythm guitarist Malcolm Young was sidelined by fast-moving dementia. At only 61 years old, his wife had to opt to put him in a long-term care facility. His short term memory is completely gone. He can't remember things that happened literally minutes before and doesn't recognize the people he loved the most.
I wrote a little tribute to the deep bond between Malcolm and his brother Angus. Our hearts go out to Angus. This must be like losing a piece of his soul.
How beautiful, Bloomy. I'm glad you shared it.
ReplyDeleteI was heartbroken to find out about this. I noticed in recent pictures that Malcolm wasn't looking very good. He was small, but he never looked frail previously, and his eyes always looked so alert. What a tragic and terrible end to such a brilliant mind. He was truly beautiful.
