Agreed !   I met up with Simon, at a party about a year ago, (very civilised
affair!) and talked with him for ages! And yes, the live '79 tour really was
the last gasp for him!  He'd really had it by then, being in a touring band,
and hasn't really played seriously since. I asked him if he would ever return
to the Hawk's drum riser (if Mr. Brock were to ask him) and he reaction was NO
NEVER - EVER AGAIN !! Not that he didn't enjoy working in HW, but the thought
of touring again with ANY live act, is quite horrible, as well as getting
"stage-fit" for two hours of skin-pounding.

These days, he's dealing in antiques, still living in West London, and he's
really into keeping fit - doing a lot of cycling!  He was sayong how he once
got "trapped" at the start of a semi-serious fun-cycle-race, from Richmond,
with all the fast people, and sort of hung on for dear life, for a few miles at
least!!
