John Peel

Much has been written and said about John Peel. I've only listened to his radio 1 show a small handfull of times, I was not a great fan of home truths. I did used to regularly read his radio times columns and loved his Glastonbury coverage, but I don't have any "John Peel changed my life when he played x track" stories (well, except for reminding me of the existence of Half Man Half Biscuit about 5 years after I'd forgotten them) but for some reason feel moved to write about him here. I think its because he had an incredibly nice vibe about him, and you can feel the warmth of the way he's being remembered in all the tributes that have been pouring out. I'm sure it's finding him...
