==Links to Peel==
Peel seemed to have first played Henry Rollins in the spring of 1987 when on his 24 March 1987 show, he mentioned playing a track called 'Man And A Woman' by the singer last week, which caused one listener to be very distressed when writing to him. Further material from the singer was played by Peel in the late 80's, but by the mid-90's, he seemed to have lost interest in his music.
