	John Peel (1939 - 2004)
		John Peel, the disc jockey who died aged 65, promoted the more esoteric and extreme fringes of contemporary popular music for more than 30 years, becoming a national institution in the process.
		Peel was a shy boy who tended towards obstinate non-conformity, for which he paid in regular thrashings; the school authorities, he recalled, "practically had to wake (me) up during the night in order to administer the required number of sound beatings".
		John Peel''s first marriage was to a 15-year-old Texan girl who had lied about her age; the marriage was dissolved soon after they returned to Britain.

	Eric Shackle's eBook - John Peel
		Peel's friend and fellow huntsman, John Woodcock Graves, wrote this rollicking song, which is still often sung by school children and homesick British expats around the world, and is highly recommended to bathroom tenors for singing under the shower.
		Of course Cumbrians know that John Peel's coat was gray, and why it was gray, and all about it, but the proof does not always lie to hand when wiseacres state the contrary; so it may be well to place on record here some clinchers wherewith to meet the fallacy of the pink one.
		The gravestone has been repaired, and the Peel family's remains were found not to have been disturbed, but the evil desecration caused a severe loss of support for the anti-hunting lobby.

		Photo: PA The BBC broadcaster John Peel, who has died of a heart attack while on a working holiday in Peru, was perhaps the only British media figure admired by readers of both the NME and the Radio Times.
		Peel obtained part-time work as a disc jockey on WRR - while he hoped this was because of his musical knowledge, he suspected that it was really due to his accent.
		It was at Radio London that he adopted the name John Peel, and when he shifted to the new BBC pop music network, Radio 1, to present his Top Gear programme in late 1967, he kept it.

		It's a fairly large book this, but then John Peel was a larger than life character so that's no surprise, what is a surprise is how much he gives us in the way of personal thoughts and extremely difficult and shocking events in his life.
		John Peel clearly thought "pretty frank" because quite a lot of the material in this book is far from flattering and seemed to me, in places, downright disturbing.
		Peel comes across as a rather odd sort of person, inclined to fantasy (and, in his younger years, a degree of untruth) and seems always somewhat at odds with the world around him.

	Remembering "the Peel Sessions." - By Douglas Wolk - Slate Magazine
		On a memorial broadcast for John Peel—who died of a heart attack on Oct. 25 at the age of 65—BBC radio host Mary Anne Hobbs called him "the single most important man that global musical culture has ever seen." That may not be quite true.
		But Peel carefully avoided becoming a relic of that historical moment: He was also an early adopter of hip-hop in the early '80s, electronic dance music in the early '90s, and the British grime scene in the last couple of years.
		Even in his 60s, Peel had the instinct for novelty of a 17-year-old music fanatic—his undying fondness for late-'80s grind-core bands like Extreme Noise Terror and Napalm Death was something of a joke among his listeners, few of whom shared it.

		Shiela’s style and approach are obviously different that John’s, but there’s a clear rapport in the writing that no doubt reflects the rapport that lead to some 35 happy years together.
		It’s clear from the book that John and Sheila really were a wonderful couple, and while he was the public bit of the iceberg, his wife and children were obviously a vital part of the life that enriched ours so.
		I’ve been thinking since the John Peel Day last October that I’d like to write Shiela and their children a letter with a copy of my tribute radio show, as one more heartfelt (if ultimately pretty insignificant) token of what he meant to so many of us.
