you know andy, every time i think about john peel...tears well up.
You talk about it. I can't even bring myself to to listen to the recording I did of John Peel night that radio 1 did, just after he died.
It's gutting to think that he could have continued on for another 20 years sifting the nuggets from the silt. I miss the bloke, not just musically, I doubt whether I ever agreed with about 2% of his choices, but also has a decent man, I know the term gets devalued, and word 'hero' get's labelled to even Z-grade celebs with no talent, wit or brain. But...JP was a decent man, straight down the line, no BS, he liked whatever he liked and that was it, no playlists, no commercial string pulling; music just for what it is, enjoyment. Play what you want and love it..god know's life is far too short. Wherever JP is now, you know the soundtrack will be 'as' challengening, madening and ground breaking as it ever was.
