Yeah, I never read the article but from what Peelie was saying about it
himself on his programme I think it suggested that in his old age he has
stopped championing "black" music (whatever the hell that is) and
tending towards the white skinny middle-class indie-kids. In which case
it was clearly written by someone who doesn't listen to his programmes,
seeing as there's rarely a show goes by without some reggae-ish stuff.
That kind of lazy journalism does not help to convince me that the
majority of journalists in this country even in so-called quality papers
are not worthless slimey scumsucking lazy slags. Oops present company
excepted.
