pfretrock Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 It has been said that hard rockers AC/DC got their name from a rating plate on an electrical appliance (sewing machine/drill/kettle?), but in fact they got the idea for the name while messing about on the river.

leschirons Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Celtic popsters the Corrs were originally called the Apples. At that time, they all weighed approximately 22 stones each. Their management realised that an image change would be needed in order to advance their career. Hence, the dramatic dieting and weight loss.
