Legendary British DJ John Peel has finally had his gravestone erected after more than three years since his passing. The storied BBC DJ was buried at St Andrew's Church in the village of Great Finborough. His stone is engraved with inscriptions from the two areas of his life he was most passionate about: music and football. The tombstone features lyrics to his all-time favourite song, "Teenage Kicks" by the Undertones, and the Liver Bird, the iconic emblem of the historic Merseyside team Liverpool FC. So very classy and well suited to this influential icon; I sincerely miss the man's huge presence. He influenced greatly the listening habits of many a music fan, myself proudly included. John Peel passed away on October 25, 2004 at the age of 65.
