A heart attack in Peru sounds like a rock and roll ending, sure enough.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
Aww, no one cared when Scott "The Professor" Muni died last month

He was an influential New York DJ since the 60s and one of the first to play the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Stones, etc on US radio.

It's rock and roll to do anything in Peru.
RIP.
Sad to hear this, the "Peel Sessions" series of live studio recordings were always outstanding. (I know it sounds oxymoronic but those of you familiar with Peel get it.)
I still listen to my Joy Division and Pixies Peel sessions to this day. If your young and or unfamiliar with Peel get some of his work, there are numerous bands that recorded with him so you might be suprised at what you find.

John Peel was an unusually large influence on me.
I first heard of him, and his shows in the early 80's.
Being a rather nerdy kid, I actually owned and played around with a shorwave radio. Some BBC programming could be picked up via shortwave at that time, and occasionally a rebroadcast of one of his shows would pop up. Oh what an enlightening experience...
For pretty much my entire life since, and especially when I was running a record store, I would seek out recordings from ANY of his shows. I really didn't care who the artist was...I was just absolutely certain that it would always be worth hearing. It ALWAYS was. Sadly many of those tapes degraded over time and have been rendered pretty much unlistenable by now, but the number of bands that Peel's programs turned me on to is too long to list here.
Many US bands can thank Peel's exposure to leading them to being much better known overseas than they were ever known here.
This man was more than just a DJ...he was a champion of music.
Many of his programs featured bands that had yet to record albums at the point that he had them on his show. This man actively searched out the music that appeared on his programs.
With how much control large corporations have taken of the airwaves, I doubt that there ever can or will be another man like him in radio, which makes this even more sad of a loss.
He will be missed.
