Last one from me on this. Maybe this is the Peel quote Rich was referring to (from the 16 March 2004 show):

JP: "I used to rather admire Frank Zappa, I have to admit, when he first started with the Mothers Of Invention, but then I met him. And I have to say he was very odious, or he was to me anyway, because obviously DJs quite rightly are held in scant respect and he made this abundantly clear. So I thought, "Well, I don't think I shall bother to play any more of your records. So I'm not going to"."
