I'm sure he's probably a nice guy and sure he's a talented drummer who's played on some interesting records. I even liked some of the early post-Gabriel material like the Spot The Pigeon ep at the time. And - confession time! - I even bought the In The Tonight single at a time when I was more into the long mac brigade acts. And yes, he came across pretty well in that recent article.

BUT...

That doesn't alter the fact that he's made some of the most dreadful music of the past 30 years or excuse his dancing with Philip Bailey or mean that he hasn't given off a whiff of unbearable naffness for way too long.

If he'd stuck at what he's best at - hitting some large tubs - then a lot of us would think better of him. On the other hand, he wouldn't have quite so many millions. You can't have it all ways!
