OT: I know this means nothing to anybody here but...

[Mr Punch]

One of the UK's most famous and favourite djs and generally all round nice guy, personally responsible for introducing, finding and making a lot of very very famous bands has just died. (http://media.guardian.co.uk/site/story/0,14173,1336385,00.html)

:( :( :(

A lot of people I know feel that he was someone very special to them, like a personal friend.

RIP

Arse.

That's it.

Hi Mat,

I don't know him either; but, it is indeed sad to lose someone who dared to make a difference and did so.

It means something to me. John Peel was a bad-ass, a true one-of-a-kind in the music industry.

He was an old geezer with a pop show that always brought out the newest and most exciting stuff. They never replaced him, simply because he was irreplacable.

Plus he had the Fall on like 700 times.

Rest in Peace-ah!
