... the music world's overwhelming grief over the death of the
BBC Radio 1 disc jockey suggests that Peel was right up there-remarkably,
for someone who was not a musician himself....

No, "overwhelming grief" is another example of the Bigley factor that
Boris Johnson so rightly pointed out.

True enough

Peel was a boring unlistenable
nerd

Not a nerd, although I used to sometimes wake up in the early hours
with the World Service on playing some unadulterated crap only to find
out is was Peely on his WS weekly show.
I never much went for his taste in music, but as a radio presenter he
was very good, especially some of the more surreal moments on 'Home
Truths.'
