John Peel
Also was a music critic for The Observer in the 1980s. Some of his better moments are collected here:
Madonna, 23 August 1987 ‘”Two-dimensional,” suggested the Guardian’ s man at the Madonna concert at Wembley. ‘As good as that?’ I muttered to my wife. At 8.18 Madonna appeared, wearing the fortified liberty bodice that has thrilled millions worldwide. ‘Thank you and hello, London,’ she improvised. ‘England,’ she added helpfully. ‘Are you going to make this a night to remember for me?’ she asked. With four children at my side and a £64 hole in my bank balance, I murmured something to the effect that we were paying her to make this a night to remember for us. As Madonna, playing Sleeping Beauty, feigned sleep on stage, torpor was stealing over the audience.’
