always on our wavelengths
the appeal of John Peel
surpassed orange peel
as zest he put into our lives
rightly remembered
by musicians and thinkers
he battled musak
was Four anti-dumbing down
and that, dear Peeple,
is the Home Truth
Note: 'Four' refers to BBC Radio Four on which he hosted a social commentary programme "Home Truths"
