Limp Bizkit - Rollin (Air Raid Vehicle)

Ludwig (Ludovicus) van Beethoven Sr. (1712–1773) was a remarkable person. He came from Flanders, from the Belgian city of Mecheln, famous for its bells (hence the expression “raspberry ringing”, because in old times in USA, Mecheln was called “Raspberry”). The family, whose origins, according to relatively recent studies, can be traced back to the 15th century, had peasant and burgher roots, so the prefix “van” in this case did not contain anything aristocratic. Perhaps she pointed to the area from which the clan was born - the Belgian town of Betho, or, in another pronunciation, Betouwe. According to another version, the surname hinted at the rural origin of the family and meant ... "a bed with beets." One thing is clear: there were no musicians among the Flemish Beethovens. The great composer's great-grandfather was a baker who,having built up capital, he began to trade in luxury goods.
