John Peel – King of New Music — godišnjica odlaska - PUM=RIP 28.10.
O velikima uvijek misliš u „velikim“ terminima..sudeći po intimističkoj biografiji, knjizi „Margrave of the Marshes“ (Bantam Press, 2005.) pEEL je bio razmjerno jednostavan čudak. simpatični oddball, ipak preinteligentan da bi bio samo ridikul, misleći emocionalac :
-veliki dosezi su često nadomjestci za istaknute mane (pr.Demosten, Ciceron... od mucavaca do najboljih govornika), po Adleru karakteristika cijelog ljudskog roda:kompenzacija onog što nemamo....
Peel je svugdje, osim za mikrofonom radio showa i u trgovinama ploča/CDa, stidljiva, povučena, nenametljiva osoba (kao i nj žena tj.takav su bili par)
-bio je sklon antologijskim greškama, ali se poslu u potpunosti predavao, zanemarujući i obitelj...čak i u vrijeme blagdana...
A MESSAGE FROM PETE WYLIE
john peel changed my life.
the music he played thrilled and inspired me/us
then his faith gave us the confidence to do what we did.
he supported 'the story of the blues' for 2 months when everyone else had given up on it,and that's what made it a hit.
and his friendship matters more than all that.
he named us the mighty wah!
i was the first person to co-host his show.
he said he never called an LP an album after i said it was wrong.
last time i saw him,he dj'ed in liverpool summer 2004,wearing a mighty wah! tshirt.he went on at seven minutes to midnight...
anyone else you'd think 'coincidence'.but not with peelie.
one of the motivating forces behind my next lp's,'pete sounds'and it's evil twin 'slime',was to make something peel would be proud of.
it's a shame he's not around to find out.
and the 1982 wah! peel session has just been voted among the 125 best sessions ever!
i loved him,i love him,i owe him.
and i don't think i ever let him know...
