Mechanically Minded Mike On This 'N' That
A good Mechanic is hard to find, but we managed to track Mike Rutherford down in West London where he was getting tuned-up for a tour of the States. Make that two tours: first he’s going out with Mike & The Mechanics, then, after six weeks at home with his wife, kids and horses, he’s back on the road with Genesis.

A good Mechanic is hard to find, but we managed to track Mike Rutherford down in West London where he was getting tuned-up for a tour of the States. Make that two tours: first he’s going out with Mike & The Mechanics, then, after six weeks at home with his wife, kids and horses, he’s back on the road with Genesis. Still, he managed to give us a quick overhaul...!
CARS
“Nasty things! They always break down on me. I prefer horses. My wife has horses. I’m turning into quite a good horseman—cross-country events.”
THE MECHANICS
“It’s a nice combination of people. With this Mike & The Mechanics album, I realized that I’m much better in a combination of other people. I suppose if it came down to an argument I’m the leader, but it doesn’t work that way. Everyone’s very involved.”
GENESIS
“I think what people forget is that Genesis produce music none of us can do on our own. It’s as simple as that. It’s a combination of talents and ideas that does it.”
