	John Peel (writer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Peel (born 1954) is a British writer, best known for his books connected to several television series.
		For similar reasons, Peel is one of the only novelists to have used the Daleks in full-length original Doctor Who novels, writing War of the Daleks and Legacy of the Daleks in the Eighth Doctor Adventures range for BBC Books in 1997 and 1998 respectively.
		Peel has also written several original novels based upon Star Trek, and under the pseudonym "David Vincent" wrote a series of novels based upon the TV series James Bond Jr.

	Images Of Cumbria - John Peel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		John Peel, then, was the son of William Peel, a small "statesman" or yeoman, and his wife, Lettice, whose maiden name was Scott.
		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.
		If John Peel was a 'myth' as a hunter, it is evident that he took an interest in foxes, seeing that he came all the way from Caldbeck to Carlisle to view a dead one.

	BBC NEWS \| Entertainment \| Music \| 'I thought Peel would live forever'
		I thought John was going to live forever, for as long as there was great, and not so great, obscure new music to play, for as long as there were products that needed his voice to sell them.
		John seemed to have been born in a leap year, so that he only had a birthday every four years, making him even now only 16.
		I thought John was going to live for as long as we needed him, as long as we needed his sanity, integrity, wit, love of music and love.

	True Story Of " D'ye Ken John Peel ?"
		For John Peel had left behind him sons to carry on his name, and one of them evidently thought that he could best honour his sire by waking echoes from the horn he loved so well, as he drove across the vale from Keswick on Saturday Market-night.
		As to John Peel's character I can say little ; he was of a very limited education beyond hunting, but no wile of a fox or hare could elude his scrutiny; business of any shape was utterly neglected, often to cost beyond the first loss.
		John Peel died at the ripe age of seventy-eight, in the year 1854, and he sleeps by the side of the " Cald-beck," which had often quenched his thirst when he was hunting on the High Fells.

	Talk:John Peel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Peel made us know Joy Division, New Order and The Cure in Germany and enjoy a lot of bands who had only a couple of hundreds demo records to send it to the radio stations.
		It was this situation which caused Peel to leap at the idea of being stranded on the Big L ship so that he could be free from his wife.

		Peel was the first person to put us on the radio - we sent him a demo and he became a patron to New Order and Joy Division.
		Peel at that stage was in his late 40s and I was in my mid-20s, but with our records we were like two kids in a playground, swapping bubblegum cards.
		John was the first person to play one of my band's records when I was 16; because of him I got a record deal, and my first really serious TV job was presenting Glastonbury alongside him and Jo Whiley.

	Click opera - John Peel died yesterday (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Peel, in my personal cosmology, is an angel and a devil, a friend and an enemy, a favourite uncle and a resented, oppressive boss.
		Peel's mistrust of showbiz glamour (he tells a very funny anecdote here about going to a 'terrifically trendy club off Bond Street' and not fitting in at all) was also a mistrust of theatre, artifice, projection...
		Peel's revenge is that even the people he seemed to block from the glittering prizes of the inner sanctum are weeping for the gatekeeper.

	Outpost Gallifrey: Reviews
		John Peel's Evolution is a fourth Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith Missing Adventure and takes place in between The Brain Of Morbius and The Seeds Of Doom.
		Peel's style of writing is quite capable and this ensures that the book is readable, but the problem lies mainly with the plot of the novel.
		I can't imagine what Mr Peel was thinking when he had the Doctor say: "I shall personally take great pleasure in breaking every bone in your body - commencing with those in your inner ears." Sarah is a little closer to her TV persona, but not in any way that endears her to the reader.

	Syd Barrett News 2004
		LONDON - John Peel, a longtime British Broadcasting Corp. disc jockey whose enthusiasm for the offbeat, the eclectic and the obscure launched the careers of dozens of bands, has died, the BBC said Tuesday.
		Peel promoted reggae, hip-hop and punk on the sometimes conservative BBC, and championed acts ranging from Jimi Hendrix and David Bowie to The Smiths, The Fall, Pulp and Northern Irish punks The Undertones, whose "Teenage Kicks" Peel rated his favorite song.
		Peel was born John Ravenscroft near Liverpool in 1939.

		Two weeks ago, John Peel died a legend at 65--revered by critics, artists and audiences alike--but the renegade British DJ actually began his broadcast career in Dallas under his given name, John Ravenscroft.
		Though raised in Liverpool, Peel moved to Big D in the early '60s and sold crop insurance, a job that would surely prompt any sane man to look for a new gig.
		Beatlemania was at such a fever pitch that Peel became a celebrity by virtue of mere proximity.

	Blogcritics.org: John Peel Day
		In the early-1970s, John Peel moved away from the mainstream rock of Jimi Hendrix and The Who to the dramatic art-rock of Roxy Music, and then in the mid-'70s to punk.
		Peel was in a Dutch record shop when he saw their first CD on import and bought it on a hunch.
		John Peel Day will be followed by a Radio 1 documentary, "Keeping It Peel," on October 17, and a week of tribute shows on BBC digital radio station 6 Music beginning October 24.

		Both John Peel himself and the Peel Sessions were an institution - he was far more than a DJ, he was a wayfinder for so many people, seeking out new music that wasn't getting a play anywhere else.

		Ex-colleague Paul Gambaccini is talking to Simon Mayo on BBC Radio Five Live currently and suggesting that no one has even listened to as wide a range of music as Peel, given how every day was spent listening to new music and that the birth of commercial gramophone coincides with Peel's life pretty closely...
		Alternatively, the legendary Peel Sessions series gives another indication of how Peel stood for caring about the breadth and range of music.

		He claims Peel ‘recommended yowlings and boom-boomings’ as a joke on ‘gullible record collectors’ looking for ‘intellectual endorsement of their primitive tastes’.
		Peel only really enjoyed the ‘pure beatific sounds of the blues’, claims Grimes, and would have ‘laughed at the pompously-phrased reactions to his untimely death’.
