Delbert Posted October 26, 2004 Author Share Posted October 26, 2004 Johnny Walker not sounding too good tonite, Tribute after 6, but most of show is going that way. Played all the Undertones etc, still shocked 65 is a bit too close Then again think of his welcome party, Jerry Ramone, Kirsty McColl, Steve Marriott etc When you realise the worlds not nice just drop your pants and slide on the ice!!!

henry21p Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 that's not all the welcome party either.... If i manage to get to the end of my life and it has been even a fraction as interesting as his and I have met such an interesting group of people as that, I will consider myself a very happy man indeed.

rossybee Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Radio 1 was unusually good tonite on the way home....

FH Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 ☹️ ...and just watched BBC2 Newsnight coverage *confused* Gavin Essler had real trouble with the guy on the right of the split screen...scuse my higgorunce, Ilived in Bermuda when he (whoeverhewas) was a , what's the word? Star ) Somehow, it spoiled it all. If there's a proper tribute to Peel's talent and contribution to music upcoming and I miss the announcement, could one of the Shedders sound a large gong so's I don't miss it pretty please? Ta and p.s Mr J Walker is another of the "greats"...(torch and blanket moment) ... hope he continues to entertain us for a long while and beats his nasty demons FH Edited by - FH on 26 Oct 2004 23:34:44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Violet Elizabeth Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Virgin were playing some tributes on the way home, I had the top down so treated the residents of Banstead to "Teenage Kicks" , hope they appreciated it. And whilst, yes, there are other DJ's who are equally as pleasant, nobody even comes close to matching Peel for introducing generation after generation to new music. Peel brought me to the Smiths, New Order the Fall, and Serious Drinking (The Revolution Starts at Closing Time).

Coose Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 I heard it yesterday afternoon whilst testing some stuff in a factory in the West Midlands (a long way from home....). I very nearly cried.... ☹️ ☹️ ☹️ ☹️ ☹️ ☹️ ☹️ They had Radio 1 blasting out in the workshop and they played Teenage Kicks at least three times in the hour after the announcement! It made me but ☹️ at the same time..... He was a marvellous chap, and I was always slightly jealous after reading an article about his daughter for having such a cool Dad (when mine is a tw@t......). But thank you NaPP for making me smile by mentioning Wedding Present and Stump within the same brackets - it made me smile! And I'm suprised by the comments of Mr owelly! Good work fella.... R.I.P. Mr Peel - you were one of the best! Fish heads, fish heads, roly poly fish heads..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
