The thing about John Peel was that he was not merely a great broadcaster with a cool voice, but that he was a nice man and his niceness came across. That is why people who never listened to or cared about his show are saddened by the news of his death. The world needs more nice people, not fewer.
Yes, that describes me. I have not known who is Number One, or even if it is still a big deal to be Number One, for twenty years or more. But I will miss John Peel.
