John Peel is dead

This is very sad news to me. I grew up listening to the Peel show late at night - he introduced me to The Smiths, The Pixies, The Wedding Present, and a great deal more that I can't even begin to list.

More recently, I've been listening to Home Truths on Saturday mornings. I hope they keep it going, but it won't be the same without him. My sympathy goes out to his family.
