Thanks to looking about him on DuckDuckGo, I discovered that Fandom has its own Wiki for John Peel.

Love Peely.  What a man, what a radio show.

Amongst the best! I had an opportunity many years ago to work on a couple of venues which had regular appearances by celeb DJs. The vast majority of them came over as a pretty scuzzy bunch. JP did actually begin to feel quite like a real human being. He had a good way of actually talking to venue staff about their own interests. I hear JP was rather patronised by many other of the Radio 1 posers; so much so that he usually got on a lot better with some of the Radios 2, 3 & 4 DJs with more specialised musical tastes.

As for some of the Radio Luxembourg lot, what a bunch of coiffed card sharps and scandalous opportunists!

I also noted this on that Wiki. A reminder that Dale Griffin/Overend Watts went to work for the BBC as a sound engineer and was involved in over 2,000 JP sessions. RIP Dale!

DJ songs are what I would call a definite genre; showing us what most 'real' musicians really feel about them. (Compare that with what musicians/footballers/artists continue to said about JP) :

But what a supremely scuzzy industry it is! Take Don Arden, for example. He bought so talent to the fore, and yet was roundly hated by his own daughter.
