It's funny, but none of those comments change it from being a perfect pop song.
Or the record from being (arguably) he best damn hard rock record of the 80's. (Some AC/DC fans may disagree.)

Finally, Axl, I think we might have had a misunderstanding regarding my previous notes. When I wrote in colored pencil "Where do we go now?" I wasn't offering that as a lyric.

Stupid. Maybe if the 'editor' had some points that were actually good it would be funny.

Writing funny is harder than it looks. Pleasing prematurely cranky, impossible to please, humor-impaired snobs, nearly impossible.

Seriously. Geez. Maybe if this was funny it would actually be funnier than something that is unfunny. God. Assholes.
