And rightly so to ! JP (not you jacob !) deserved a lot of credit for his services to the promotion of new bands, as a lot of them could have died in a hail of obscurity otherwise.

BM posted reply to this 'journalist'....hope they post it in the comments

here it is FYI:


John Peel is not here to answer this, but I know how he would respond...he would play a record, possibly at the wrong speed or the wrong track. As far as Im concerned JP was an important figure in music, in fact he was 'music', a rare commodity in media, someone who truly cared about his chosen field. I remember an anecdote of his, he had gone to visit fellow BBC DJ Noel Edmonds......on arrival he was shocked to find that NE had no music to play, says it all really.....JP had 30,000 albums and knew music inside out, without his insight, humour and intelligence, whole genres of music would never have been given airplay.....I could go on, but I dont need to eulogise a man, a flawed man like all of us....his legacy is there for all to see.....and hear.

RIP John, be at peace, you deserve it









without John Peel there would have been no BM as we know him : fact

What a cheap shot. Having a go at a guy who can't answer back. So what if JP wanted a line from a pop song written on his headstone. Who does it hurt? It says more about the man than a whole book of poetry.

I'm comforted by the fact that I know JP wouldn't give a t*ss about this himself. Water off a duck's back really.
