BBC Radio’s legendary DJ, John Peel,
has passed away. Without his work, we may never have heard of the Sex

Gone to the big radio station in the sky! It was kinda cool to hear where he died though: near Aztec ruins! Always adventurous, willing to try something new! RIP John Peel!
No way! I'm surpisingly very shocked to learn of his passing. I guess I thought of him as eternally cool, with his finger always on the pulse.
