John Peel another BBC pedo, he boasted to Virginia Ironside in the 90's that he had 13 year olds queuing up to be abused when he was in his 20's working in the states, and that he was only too happy to oblige, idiot thought it was kinda cool to admit it at the time. Also had a 15 year old on the go when married and of course married a 15 year old in the USA, then claimed he thought she was older. Apart from that he was one of those embarrassed by his upper middle class origins and like to play the working class bloke, he was a pretentious fraud. Much loved, well almost worshiped by the white chattering class, blacks could not give a toss about him, they had more sense.

Wolfman Jack kept me entertained in strange places.

John Peel for me was the best dj in the UK.

[Dragonfly94]

Just a bloke who played records, met him once in 1982, pretentious prat.

Whatever. For all his alleged faults, he did champion a lot of great bands and music. In fact nearly all the bands, music, and movements from the early 70's onwards owe a big debt to Peel. He was the only person playing their music on mainstream radio.
Go find another corpse to hump, you misanthropic fuckwit.

[Dragonfly94]

Another peel worshiper, so he played a lot of bands that nobody had ever heard of and have not been heard of since, so what. He created a bit of a niche for himself at the beeb as the slow talking hipster in the know. He was not good enough to put on in the day so they stuck him on at night for an hour. He was the only person playing mostly utter crap.

[kmart]

^Utter shite. Those bands went on to influence music and popular culture. I'm sorry it wasn't a culture that embraced miserable gits like yourself, obviously.

[Dragonfly94]

One or two bands from the thousands he gave air time to went on to do something, most were talentless dross and he was a bit of a music snob not playing popular material. This Mirror snip summed up the boring old fart rather well


It is worth comparing Peel to Blackburn - rather than prattling morons such as the Hairy Cornflake or Noel Edmonds - because both John and Tony were true lovers of music. Nobody could deny that.

But they were both horribly blinkered. I once heard Blackburn sneer after playing the great Brown Sugar by the Rolling Stones: "I just can't see the point in making music like that."

Peel was equally narrow-minded and wilful. That's OK, all music fans are snobs.

Peel loved the underground, the alternative, the left-field. Blackburn loved Motown, Stax, Atlantic. They both knew their stuff. But were both musical bigots.

Peel wouldn't have played Brown Sugar at all. He would rather play a tape from some unsigned band. And sometimes he won the lottery - and the band turned out to be U2 or White Stripes. But usually - almost always - they were not future greats. They were rubbish. And I just could not listen to it.

Say what you like about all the Smashie and Nicey figures at Radio 1 but when they stopped their mindless prattling for three minutes, you were always likely to hear something that would lift your spirits.

PEEL wasn't like that. You had to wade through an awful lot of crap to find the gems

Peel would never have played their sounds though even if they were unknown, he was a bit of a racist as well as being a pedo. How he was not sacked after this confession is amazing, but then the beeb was full of these abusers

As a young man he worked as a DJ in Texas in a local radio station. Much later he recalled that girls, some as young as 13, used to queue up outside his radio station.

'All they wanted me to do was to abuse them sexually which, of course, I was only too happy to do.'

[billy the kid]

Back then Black people didn't care much for white man's music.
But white man made black music popular.

like a lot of djs, had them on a plate.

I don't know when it'll be available on Youtube but I'm on the lookout for this.

It's not being broadcast until the 16th but I'm pretty sure it will arrive online soon thereafter.

For those who enjoy her music, "What happened Miss Simone?" is well worth watching. Nina Simone's unique voice, her songwriting and piano playing ability were of the highest order.

[boi]

"Best of Enemies". Buckley vs Vidal 1968 TV debates. Rotten Tomatoes has it at 94% positive rating based on 98 reviews. Short-listed for last year's Academy Awards. Co-directed by Robert Gordon and Morgan Neville. A great documentary.

Neville won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature for the 2013 film 20 Feet from Stardom, and he directed Keith Richards: Under the Influence, released by Netflix last year, neither of which I've seen.

A good historical documentary about the composer Wilhelm Furtwangler during the Nazi period....., controversy continues of whether he was really someone who disliked the Nazis or actually a sympathizer.

[raycarey]

the current PR blitz for oliver stone's "snowden" made me go back and watch "citizenfour" again.

if you haven't seen it yet, it's a must watch.

[toslti]

Brilliant
