Latest news I have is that John Peel has taken over immigration duties at the Pearly Gates.

How would you get past the great man?

No one from here would get past him, he could sniff bull shit a mile off. You could ask whoever hacked [ah em!] if the John Peel code is hackable though?

I'd just point out my extensive collection of early 80's hardcore punk with a smattering of hip-hop and Big Beat/breakbeat tunes, combined with a good all round knowledge of pop music in general.

If that didn't impress him, I'd have to sing (?) the lyrics to Teenage Kicks.

I'd say " you played a record by my band once...." (several times actually, 1980 I think)

I'd ask him whatever happened to Jeff Dexer, DJ flatmate of his in Camden in the late 60's. Missed my chance to do it on this plane (747?!;)

Well the first thing is you'd have to be honest, and then I think you'd be straight through, so I would have to say, "John, 90% of all the music you ever played was total crap, but you always appeared to be a gen bloke and Home Truths was a very excellent good programme, and down there on Mother Earth they're all missing you".

I often listen to the World Service at night, as I don't seem to always need a full night's sleep, and I sometimes heard John Peel's programme where he played the most peculiar music, and spoke learnedly about the performers. Not my taste, I must say. But Loose Ends was good. Still very sad he died so soon.
