It's fan boy time as Brian gets all 12 year old when he meets Andy Scott of Sweet and Kev is a massive Guess Who fan, so chatting to Burton Cummings is a major coup. Sweet are about to tour Australia and Andy Scott - the last remaining member of the line up that brought us Ballroom Blitz, Fox on the Run and Love is Like Oxygen - is up for a chat about the good old days and the tour. The Guess Who put Canadian rock music on the map with monster hits like American Woman, Undun, No Time and Albert Flasher. Burton Cummings was the lead singer and what a voice he has. The songs he wrote and co wrote have stood the test of time. Classic rock stars with equally classic stories - it is another top shelf episode. Ya Ready Kev? Andy? Burton? All right substitutes ... Let's Go!! (names have been changed to protect us from getting sued)

Simon wrote a number one song for Dusty Springfield, got a gold record from Elvis, knocked back David Bowie in more ways than one, managed Marc Bolan and has written several best selling books covering various areas of the industry. It is a colourful life as you will discover. All thanks to Murcotts Driving Excellence.
