It would have been, well I suppose it still is, the great man's birthday today.
So much has been written about the impact of John's radio shows, that it seems almost superfluous to add any more. But anyone who heard the door to a whole new world open up, when listening to Peel, way past 'bedtime' as an impressionable teenager, knows what a lasting impact 'the unpleasant and disorientating racket' of the John Peel Wingding made.
It's put far better here at the rather more professional We Love All That blog. And of course the online John Peel archive which includes gems like this is exactly what the internet should be for.
Pass me a red wine...
