The Radio 1 DJ John Peel passed away today while on holiday in Peru. A sad loss to music world - he championed countless up-and-coming artists. He was one of the original group of broadcasters on Radio 1, and had remained with the station ever since, long after all the others had departed. He was also one of the few presenters on the station who preferred the music to the sound of their own voice.
Me, I remember his occasional appearances on Top Of The Pops, back in the days when it was still presented by Radio 1 DJs. He always looked like a man about to collapse from terminal boredom brought on by the banality surrounding him - which was probably not far from the truth.
