Peel Headstone

[ken garner]

sorry about that - if you really want to read it, search the 
telegraph site's 'comment' section by typing 'Michael Henderson' and 
it should pop up. The most annoying thing about it is there is a tiny 
nugget of truth in it, but expressed totally insensitively, 
uncharitably and with no understanding: in one sense, yes, Peel did 
indeed never grow up - but that was what made him so great and 
empathetic a broadcaster. Over the years I saw him do it time and 
time again: when bands came up to him at gigs, strangers in the 
street, people in cafes, parties - fuelled I believe by his own 
introspective and solitary teenage years, re-charged up by his later 
family happiness with Sheila, he just somehow intuitively knew what 
young people needed to get them going, laugh and feel better, more 
confident, about themselves.
