Yes, I've noticed this as well. On a music board I frequent there are lots of 'John, you turned my life around. Thank You.' posts. For example:
quote: RIP John: thanks for making those lonely teenage nights a lot more bearable!
quote: I was 8/9/10 years old and listening to John Peel and he impacted my life. It's so strange to think that wqhoa, he's dead. Such an amazing miraculous man who did so much can actually be gone. I', shocked and stunned. i don't know how to react. I don't feel right to cry - I didn't know him, I don't feel obsessed or in love with him but I know that I feel sad and that I feel like i want to cry because I know something has been lost. It's so strange.
rest in peace. You did so much more than I think you'll ever know.
its alright. if you build it they will come; today i bumped into the only person ive ever met who actually owns said record on original vinyl- havent seen the fucker for about a year and a half so as you can imagine i was a bit chuffed. fate's a lovely thing innit.
