<< In Paul Gambacini's eulogy, he said that NO-ONE has listened to so much
music in the western world as John Peel. Mind you, someone at the wake said
"NO-ONE has listened to so much crap in the western world as John Peel to
give us his programs" >>

And a lot of people honestly think most of what John played was crap! That's 
one of the reason's his show was so good - closed-minded mainstream wankers 
didn't like it - funny how a year later when a record was a hit they would 
always claim to have loved it from the start! (and of course that included a good 
number of radio One DJs!).

Like the man says give RDB a chance! They can only replace him with worse, 
after all! (And save us all six hours a week! ;-)

Cheers!

Rocker

PS No Viv Stanshall or Wah! yet - and what about that Altered Images version 
of "Song Sung Blue" with John on backing vocals!
