John Peel got his start in Dallas Texas after leaving the Royal Army or Airforce or whatever branch he was in to persue his first love in building radio towers to actually becoming a Radio DJ in Dallas Texas. how he ended up in Texas I have no idea (without reading up more on it)
he became the global Productionist of radio play. His playlist in the 1970s-1990s is what many radio stations with a rock format had played that went out on the wire daily.
it's interesting how the 80s was shallow (like *Patrick* in American Psycho-- everything was "hip" to a singularity or two)
