··I might rise, but I refuse to shine.Good solve,
There’s a 1960, 18ct gold, connie pie pan in Santa’s sack, for ya. I’ve put a good word in 😉
Just a small emendation as to the name of the author: Umberto Eco (this shouldn't change the number of Xmas presents coming your way though)

I had it pretty well figured, except for the vocalist! Our son didn’t hesitate when he gave me the singer’s Christian name (Ronald Belfor Scott), and his stage name, BON, of the rock group AC/DC.
He was Scottish born, but went to school in Australia where he was threatened with a beating every day, until he lost the Scottish brogue. As I’ve said before, our son has a brilliant mind for trivia, but for anything actually useful, not so!

LoL - trivia is very useful at a quiz night... 😀
As a point of passing interest (I guess) I lived in the neighbouring suburb from him and the Scott family (the four brothers were wild boys from the get go) and knew him in passing when he was in a Perth cover band called the Valentines in the late 1960s. The song Highway to Hell was written by the Bonnie wee lad about the long drunken walks to get home by "bodgies" (of which he was one) from the Raffles hotel at one end to Fremantle at the other end on Friday and/or Saturday nights. The long 10k stretch of road is known as Canning Highway. The object was to get home after the pubs closed at 10pm, drinking as many bottle of Green Ginger wine or brownies (bottles of beer) as you could get through on the long walk home to Freo (Fremantle) without getting into too much trouble. Usually most would cave in about ¾ of the way and spend the night on the river bank or in the Freo lockup.
There is a walk that takes place, now yearly, where bands on the back of trucks slowly traverse along the 10ks Canning Highway towards Fremantle playing AC/DC music - can be hard rock, Country adaptations, Police pipe band, etc... A good day is generally had by all except the coppers who have to control the maddening crowd intent on being boozed and wanting to play highway Karaoke.

Oh well, enough of that. Reminiscing it's its own rebus puzzle.

·Dam! Too late! Alfred Hitchcock, The Birds.
How Hitchcock ruined Tippi Hedren’s career because she wouldn’t “put out” for him. For shame, Alfred!
