Penny's beloved grandfather, Simon, whom she has not seen since she was very
young. Estranged from his family in Detroit, Simon is thought to have
retired in Mississippi where he was originally from. Toiling at
Detroit's Fleetwood Plant for employment, Simon would moonlight as an
R'n'B drummer, leaving little time for a family life. Aside from performing
music, little else brought Simon pleasure...until he got to know his
granddaughter. This not only surprised Simon, but also pleased
him greatly. Simon is played by IGGY POP. |
