 A band like *CHICAGO*???!!! Oh c'mon, Mike! I will agree with you that
there is NOONE like Moon, but I personally think that Simon was a hell of a
lot better in the Who than Kenny Jones. Granted, Simon may play a bit TOO
technically perfect for The Who, but he provided the band with some much
needed "flash" that was sorely missing in the timekeeper that he replaced.
