[twr-list] Viva John Peel

[ML Compton]

I find it weird that he played TWR at all. He made no secret that
he didn't like the band. In fact, he didn't like any of the American
guitar bands of the time. He steadfastly refused to ever give the
Rope one of his sessions. I understand the man's influence on the
music scene, but he was a thorn in my side on this issue.
