I tend to believe then when you have an artist with the wealth of talent that Mr. Archer has hard to say that there is no way for him to recapture the imagination of the today's listener.

Sure he's definately missed a serious opportunity having essentially sitting on the sidelines for the better part of the last decade. But there is still a chance for him to come back with a splash and start a second phase to his career that could be as bright as the 1st phase was.
