Upon first hearing Teenage Kicks in September 1978,BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel is reported to have burst in to tears.In a 2001 interview Peel stated that apart from his name,the only words he wished to be engraved on his gravestone were the opening lyrics to ‘Teenage Kicks.’In 2008 a headstone with those words was placed on his grave.
‘Are teenage dreams so hard to beat?’
