My Take
I have always believed rhythm is the backbone of a great rock band, and Simon Kirke is exactly that kind of quiet anchor. A Lambeth-born drummer, he co-founded Free and then Bad Company, remaining the group's only constant member through every lineup change. I am drawn to artists like him who work behind the spotlight, holding everything together so the singers and guitarists can shine. Spending half a century as the steady foundation of a band takes a discipline most people never see. To me, that kind of loyalty and consistency is the very definition of a craftsman, and he earns my applause.
