There is a bit of grafitti, from The Undertones'- "Teenage Kicks"
The line is "Teenage kicks, so hard to beat."
Someone, the year John Peel died, graffitied beside it "John Peel 1939-2004" A simple small epitaph for the man that changed the life of so many, a mark that remained untouched for 3 years! Until this week, when someone, probably some scumbag doing'community service', painted over it.
The iconic phrase was what John Peel wanted on his gravestone, and this was someones way of remembering the man, and now someone has just come along and erased it. Quite possibly the only peice of graffiti in Belfast that remained untouched by any paramilitary tags. The sort of thing he would have appreciated, and now it's been taken by the sort of people that he fought against in his time.
Hopefully someone with some paint and the ability to write like something other than a drunken spider will step up for John
John Peel OBE (30 August 1939 – 25 October 2004)
