While out and about in the lpg-mobile I was listening to a Rock Compilation on the CD player. There's quite a few tracks that are 'also-rans' but when Rainbow and "Since you've been gone" came on, the stereo had to be cranked up to 11. Once an epic shout-along (with accompanying steering wheel drums and air guitar) was over I got to thinking about the name of the group, "Rainbow!"
The group was formed in 1974 two years into the life of the identically named Childrens TV programme. This must have been kinda odd for UK audiences, I reckon this is equivalent to Rockin-out to a band called Balamory or Pogle Wood! It's even funnier if you think of printing Balamory in Gothic Script on the back of a leather jacket!

Made me smile!
