Good bye John Peel

[caddyman]

Veteran broadcaster and DJ John Peel dies from heart attack.

The music world will not be the same again. Over the yuears, I have picked up a lot of musical tips from his show, often with excellent but obscure bands.


That's taken the edge off my day...

My first reaction was "Fucking Hell!!!", I'll stick to that!

He seemed a great human, and probably made modern music as much as some of the bands.
What can you say.
He was John Peel.

He was cutting edge when my dad listened to him in the 60's and he still was right up to the end. How many people can you say that of? I'll stop to prevent myself repeating what I said on Mr Shhhhhh's thread.
I feel genuinely sad, he's unreplaceable.
