Steve Poltz, the folk singer who discovered Jewel, has been on tour in Australia recently. During his travels he took time out to post this very interesting story and related photo on his website.
"Here I am with Dave the owner of Pure Pop Records in Melbourne. I played an in-store yesterday at his fine shop and and when I walked in the first thing I asked him was if he had any Bon Scott memorabilia. He replied, "how about me? I am his son."
In the photo above, Peltz is on the left and Dave is on the right.
According to what I have found on the net, Pure Pop Records started out as a record label but later on they established a store in a suburb of Melbourne called St. Kilda. Apparently, the store regularly holds shows by many different artists in their courtyard.
So how about it, folks. Do you think this Dave fellow looks anything like the late, great Bon Scott? Anyone out there have any more info about Dave or Pure Pop Records?
Feel free to leave your comments below...

Well he certainly has "Bons" features, and I think it is a more creditable story than the last "Son of Bon". It would be interesting to hear what his Mother has to say about it all (Dave's Mother, not Bon's). Also she may be able to enlighten us on just how large "Bon's Bulge" actualy grew too?
well graham if your refering to me???
perhaps you might like to contact members of the angels band...

well, it is possible, a band member once told a story of a woman having a child with bon scott to say that she had bore a child with Bon Scott. He looks like him, who knows he may be.
GRAEME... YOU MUST ISIDE INFO ON THIS "STORY"...
TELL US IT AND LET US DECIDE IF ITS CREDIBLE...???
steve.. you and your mates are totally...
I`ve done some research into this bloke, Dave. He`s in his early 40s and he briefly tried to become a musician without success. Now because Dave`s in his early 40s he would have been conceived in the late 60s early 70s. Now Bon was married to Irene at this time and was living in London with his then band Fraternity. On top of that, Dave was adopted, so he never knew who his real parents were. Could he have tracked them down? Unlikely but Possibly. He needs to now show us evidence that he`s Bon`s son. Also, he originally wanted to make it as a famous musician here in Melbourne back in the 90s. Now if he wanted to be successful in the music industry, you`d think he would tell everyone back in the 90s that he`s Bon`s son and not wait 20 years later when he just has a record shop.
I`ve been doing some research into this person, Dave, who claims to be Bon`s son. Dave was adopted so he never knew who his real parents were. Could he have tracked them down? Unlikely but possibly. He now has to show us paperwork/ evidence that he`s Bon`s son if he traced it. Also, Dave origianlly wanted to make it as a rock star musician in the 90s here in Melbourne but failed. Now you`d think that he`d announce back then in the early 90s that he was Bon`s son knowing that it could help his music career. Instead, he`s waited 20 years later to announced it now that he owns a record shop. Apparently he`s known most of his life that he`s (supposedly) Bon`s son but kept it a secret from everyone in his life up until now. And also, Dave is in his early 40s, so he would have been conceived in the early 70s. Bon at this time was married to Irene and on top of that, Bon and Irene were living in London with Bon`s then band Fraternity.
Another rumour is that Dave's mother was an acquaintance of Melbourne radio personality Derryn hinch..and that during a period in Derryn life he was known to be an alcoholic and would go bar to bar looking for people to drink with on a daily basis...
Yeah buzz bidstrup said he remembers meeting Ben Scott's mother..Gloria... first at a gig in stkilda with bon... and he recalls visiting the house of Gloria with bon as well..
I live in Perth, and according to Bons late mother, he never had any children!!!!
You think his mother would know!!!!
Maybe that's why he was adopted..because Bon was married? I knew a girl back in the day that had Mark Hunters child and adopted her out as her parents would not have her there with a baby and though he came to the hospital he wasn't prepared to take it on. Before his time with his wife.would have been around 1970..
Sorry I meant 1980.. I hit wrong key! Lol it was a little girl by the way! Named Angelique.
well he is my uncle and yeah eh is Bon Scott's son. Trust me, he's my uncle
Dave is Bon's son. I know he is. Dave was born in September 1967 when Bon was in the Valentines. Also Bon's mother knew that Bon conceived at least 2 children. There is also possibly a daughter out there too. Dave kept it a secret for a long time for privacy reasons. He still likes to be very private about his life. Nothing wrong with that. Bon's close friend, Mary, and bassist Mark Evans will also confirm it that Dave is Bon's son. There is a lot of secrecy amongst the ac/dc entourage. That's why it took over five years for the information about Malcolm young's Alzheimer's disease to come out. Bon Scott's death has also been covered up, as there's more to the story than what has been released. No he didn't choke on his vomit. It's a cover story. The English band UFO know the complete story of how Bon actually died, and so does that horrible junkie woman Silver Smith. Alister kinnear/ joe fury is hiding out in Sydney driving taxis today.
You anonymous/ Ben are not bon Scott's son. You need to get over that fact. Dave is Bon's son not you. Go back to Frankston mental institution where you belong.
Go away anonymous/ Ben. You're making up more lies again
I met Dave in 1977 with his mother, an ex girlfriend of Bon Scott and I know he's Bon's child, the mother as far as I remember was a pretty troubled person and I can imagine that is why poor little Dave was put out for adoption. All I know is that he was the cutest little boy, so sensitive and special that all I wanted to do was kidnap him and love and look after him. I will now try and track Dave down in his record shop, so thanks for the information I have often wondered what happened to him.
