John Peel

Today the world lost another irreplaceable person too soon, it seems
that recently too many public figures have gone and knocked me for 6.

Probably the best thing I liked about John Peel was his writing in the
Radio Times that I only ever got at Christmas. Of course his Radio 1
shows, which I did not listen to enough, were very important, but it
was through his writing that we got to know him and his family. He
seemed a thoroughly nice chap, and it is a sad and sudden loss to his
family and the British public, a sad day for music.
