Do you ken John Peel?
One of his many strengths was that a lot of his audience felt they did, because there was none of the normal schmooze and c***p that one expects from a DJ. You knew it was coming from his heart.
An obit today mentioned that he championed, amongst many, Principle Edward's Magic Theatre. Hell, I had forgotten about that band for 20+ years! He profferred the offbeat, he challenged the status quo, he showed consummate humility. What more can one ask from a broadcaster?
