International DJ    Stevie George can be found entertaining the masses at Muju Lounge on Amwaj   Island and many other places around Bahrain.

Well, it's birthday time again and a friend of mine, Rodney Davies from the BIC, is celebrating the big 50 this week.

So, racing ahead, I've listed some of my personal favourite motoring tunes from yesteryear (I'm sure you all have your own!) ... the sort of tunes that make you get to your destination just a little bit earlier.

Steppenwolf - Born To Be Wild

Hawkwind - Silver Machine

Golden Earring - Radar Love

Madness - Driving In My Car

Queen - Don't Stop Me Now

Meat Loaf - Paradise By The Dashboard Light

Tom Robinson - Grey Cortina

Deep Purple - Speed King

ZZ Top - Sharp Dressed Man

Status Quo - Sweet Caroline

Green Day - Holiday

Red Hot Chilli Peppers - By The Way

Blink 182 - All The Small Things 

The Who - My Generation

Rolling Stones - Paint It Black

For quite a few of our younger readers most of those songs will need to be found amongst their parents CD collection, and let's remind Rodney what song was number one on the day he was born:

Elvis Presley - Wooden Heart (which was number 1 in the UK singles chart during March and April of 1961).

So here's wishing Rodney a very special 50th birthday (as long as I can get some cake!), and, as always, I'll leave you with a special thought

Make something idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.
