The music business became a lot more mediocre today.
A bigger loss than Zappa.
Peel was always a beacon of the real, shining out amidst the depths of the plastic Bruce Forsyth experience. He never went gentle into that dark night of crass commercialism, but raged, raged against the dying of the light. And always in such a nice and unassuming way. Music is a lot richer for his presence, and a lot poorer for his passing.
Off to observe a minute's noise in honour of the man. Teenage Kicks, perhaps.

But at least it was original sounding crap rather than cyclical, derivative trash.

RIP!
