More from John Peel
- I don't like encores. It's like, if you see a great painting, you don't want an extra bit painted on the side.
- If Elvis were alive today, I think he'd really understand happy hardcore.
- That's exactly the sort of record I like, lots of bad-tempered guitar playing that you can leap about splintering the furniture to.
- On my recent course of antibiotics, every record sounded like that. (After playing an excerpt from 'Hairway to Steven' by Butthole Surfers)
- I have an outstanding wife.
- On being told by a fan 'meeting you is like a dream', Peel replied 'You ought to get some bigger dreams, son.'
- I wish I was covered in fur... or feathers... or something more interesting than just fat.
- In case you're wondering who this funny old bloke is, I'm the one who comes on Radio 1 late at night and plays records made by sulky Belgia…
