Simon’s a conservative. I saw a show on his life story, he started with nothing, worked for free just to get into the business, was a low level runner in the music business, scouted talent, went out on his own, made some money, then lost it all, and went from Mansions to back to living with his parents, got it together, went back out and made himself what he is today. Very hard worker, his life story is inspiring.
Good for Simon, our prayers go out to you little girl, God bless
I vaguely remember some of his life story now that you mention it. I knew there were more reasons to like the guy. Jeremy Clarkson is my other favorite Brit entertainer/performer/commentator/etc.
I saw that show on Simon’s life, too...very inspiring story. Though his family was well off, I loved how his mother made him start out in the mail room if he wanted to work in the music biz. And how after he lost it all, he returned home to live with his folks without money to pay the cab fare.
That’s wonderful to hear, too. I can see why he would lose patience with contestants with an entitlement mentality, when he’s done the rags-to-riches-to-rags-to-riches journey.
My opinion of him just notched up, again!
