The most fitting tribute I read to John Peel following his death last week was in a letter to The Independent from The Dawn Parade. They have repeated it on their websites home page and the last paragraph is a telling one:
John was that rarest of things: someone who gave a damn. Someone who really cared. Someone with soul. In 2004, the music industry can give birth to baby gods in time for the Christmas singles boom and discard them like dead turkeys before twelfth night, but this one quality Soul - it can't imitate, brand and manufacture, and Peel had as much musical soul as anyone who ever lived. John Peel was number one, and he lives on in all the music he's inspired.
