Back in ~1977-78 I had an opportunity to follow up on an audition to play bass with Uriah Heep. This was when they were no longer "the next big thing". I didn't even want to play the local bar/club circuit. I thought; "why on earth would I want to on tour with a has been band in a stinky bus". Besides, I'd have to learn their songs of which I'd only ever head of one "Easy Livin" or summat like that.
