I seem to remember a few caustic comments about leather trousers that were aimed in the general direction of Bono.

I'm guessing it's the same lazy journalism, which was in evidence shortly after his death when Radio 1 Newsbeat credited Peel for discovering several bands that he never actually played - it seems a general misconception that any "student" white-boy guitar band that broke through must have been championed by John Peel in their early days
