Born To Rock...

Nov. 25th, 1944 - Beverley (or Bev) Bevan, drummer with The Move and ELO (Electric Light Orchestra), is born...

Here he (yes, HE) is with The Move, and (as any trivia buff worth their salt knows, the first song to be played on Radio 1) "Flowers In The Rain"...


Ahem... reading Wikipedia's entry about the song, if you knew that it wasn't technically the first song heard on Radio 1, then you are no mere trivia buff... you are a fully-fledged anorak!

And you should also read the bit about Harold Wilson... That made me laugh! Talk about a joke that back-fired!
