Legends go quickly

John Peel
1939-2004

The man who was responsible for promoting most of the best in English rock is gone. John Peel died yesterday at the age of 65. Now, most of America do not know of him unless you are a hard core obscure band buff like I am. This man is single handedly responsible for music from David Bowie, the whole damn Punk movement, and of course the newest hottest music on the scene now. Peel was the longest running DJ at BBC radio, and played demo tapes of nobody bands that exploded later. He was the cutting edge of music. I wish to the Goddess that we had DJS here in America that had the balls to play the obscure bands, the unheard of talent.
He will be missed by all of us true music fans.
