he documents quite a bit of dodginess in his autobiography
marrying a 15 year old while in America for starters

I think you're right
He just played anything and everything (as long as it was good). Less circle-jerk than 6 music is today.

I still think of 6 Music as "The John Peel Memorial Channel"
Just like him it plays about a third excellent music, a third dull ones, and a third completely unlistenable.
I do ignore the presenters though.

Home Truths was a good show and he really made it. They tried continuing after the old nonce pegged it, but it wasn't working, so they binned it. Whereas Jack Dee maybe not be anywhere near as good as Humph but he's not bad and the show still works.

Well, since he's dead and made a number of confessions while he was still alive, then I think there's not a lot to discover

Oh my I wish he was still here.
Viv Stanshall to Dave Clarke and beyond. Grew up with him and opened up a whole new world of music beyond my narrow minded peer group. John Peel got me my first girlfriend at a party because we were the only two people not into Jazz Funk, Level 42 and wedge hair cuts. We both recorded all of his shows. Happy days
Very nicely remembered.

Get fucked.
Don't care if your name is ironic, I hate you just as much as if it were true. Okay not quite as much.
