WHY JOHN PEEL?

Forty two years on the radio
From WRR to the John Peel Show.
Sixty five years in the human race
John entertained us with taste and grace.
Gone too soon to the great unknown
Where we know he’ll never walk alone.

John Peel, for ever for real.
The number one DJ; the biggest wheel.
John Peel, maximum appeal.
Right to the end he overflowed with zeal.

Peel gave us a late night audio fix,
Never too old for teenage kicks.
Blues, rock, punk, avant garde and electro.
Prog, folk, ethnic, hardcore and techno.
Though a legend to the fans he ate humble pie.
As a champion to the bands avoided pie in the sky.

John Peel, for ever for real …

John let out a lifeline to those with a dream,
To all true originals outside the main stream.
Each faux pas was a work of art.
Every shot in the dark was aimed from the heart.
The pirate in the system always did it his way
And never lost the touch, never faded away.

John Peel, for ever for real …

That Old Salopian will always be remembered
Whenever our creative juices are stirred.
