.... and how do you think, Mr. Clever, has the 'modern music' you 
refer to managed to develop until nowadays? Do you think it has been 
invented out of the blue in last year's summer? Or might it possibly 
be the case that there were influences of one sort or another 
by 'boring indie bands' in the 80's (and mind you: OF COURSE those 
people are older now (and so are their fans), regarding the fact that 
they started some 25 years ago)?? And if weren't for Mr. Peel you can 
be willing to have a bet that your modern music heroes would not be 
aware of those influences now. At least not in the format that Peel 
opened up for them with his continuing work and interest.
