John Peel, 1939-2004
For those of you who don't know him, he was a broacaster on the BBC for over 40 years, and a champion of new music, ranging from (the then new kid) David Bowie, to current bands like White Stripes.
His media career started before rock radio came to the BBC, and he was even working in radio in Dallas, Texas, when JFK was shot.
He was probably my biggest influence on my radio broadcasting style, and a radio god to millions.
I can't believe how sad his passing makes me. I'm not the sort of person who normally grieves for people I don't know personally, but John Peel was different. There will never be another like him.

It could be trouble with your job, your wife,your husband, your children or any one of a multitude of other challenges. Whatever the problem, you've probably found yourself wishing for a quick fix. And, somebody out there was probably more than willing to promise you one. The problem with quick
fixes is that they do not last. Only the timeless principles of God's Word can bring lasting change in our lives."Making Life Count" is dedicated to presenting those principles in a way that you can actually put them to use in your everyday life.
