'In the future all records will be made to sound equally good no matter what speed they're played at.' - John Peel (or thereabouts)

Sadly, it was only a couple of years before he died when I finally understood what he was all about, so I don't have a long listener relationship like some people. But I do remember him playing an inordinate amount of records at the wrong speed.

Him and Mark and Lard were the best things on Radio 1 (if that doesn't sound too much like your granddad complaining about the gold old days).

not to sound smug, but I remember listening  to him under the bedclothes as punk exploded onto the airwaves in my schooldays, when we used to get him four nights a week.

it was a university of (not so) popular music.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Be smug! If I had lived that, I would boast about it, for sure.
