rock stars who went back work.

From the Reivers, John Croslin works at the University of Texas, Kim Longacre teaches at a Montessori school, and Cindy Toth works at a used bookstore.

Michael Hall of the Wild Seeds (and his own solo career) is a staff writer at Texas Monthly magazine. His longtime guitarist Randy Franklin (Standing Waves, F-Systems, Loose Diamonds) runs a folk-art gallery called Yard Dog.

Jawbox guitarist Bill Bardot is part owner of DC design studio, Threespot.

Wife Kim Colleta was getting her Library Science degree from Catholic U.

D-Plan drummer Joe Easley was last heard going back to school to finish his Aerospace Engineering degree.

Frodus drummer Jason Hammacher is a part-time massage therapist, freelance photographer, & writer.

Keith Alexander from Carnivore was working in piercings/body modifications before becoming a software guru. Sadly he died this summer in a bicycling accident.

Now he is a photographer http://www.williamhenshall.com

Then he was the same Jim Spellman cruising around New Orleans last month giving street details. Hopefully the spark for a flood-themed reunion album.

Poised for a big deal with Capitol Records the band's deal was thwarted by the myopic Kerry's side gig desires for war hero, senator and presidential canidate.

This is an interesting thread overall. Speaking as one who had a few minutes in the spot light in the early 90s, I have found that life after being in a band is great. You have to sacrifice so much of your own life and friend and family relationships to get a real career going that keeping a balance of real life and chasing the music dream becomes inpossible to keep. I got no regrets...but I am glad I don't live out of a suitcase anymore. Here's some more stuff about my work www.rockstarphoto.us

I did help run some 'cool' record companies, like Caroline. I walked away as the industry fell off the cliff -- hell, they didn't want me anyway.

Now I'm a 2nd year law student, hoping to one day help out some artists and others in the new world we live in.

I too have heard Jim Spellman is at CNN and Archie's at a DC studio.

Kelly and Brian of V-girl are at the Washington City Paper I think....

Still waiting on the V-girl reunion album....It's hard to believe with the myspace explosion and internet adv. that the V-girl fans out there wouldn't unite to pay some $ for it... :)

Sorry, my bad.

This thread just got ten times cooler, though.

From the Loud Family: Scott Miller is a computer programmer.

...and working on a new album, I hear, despite swearing off the biz a few years back.

Ed's Redeeming Qualities: Dan Leone became a food critic. Carrie Bradley started working for a graphic design company after her tenure in the Breeders.

Vudi from American Music Club also did the taxi-driver gig, I believe.

To follow-up far upthread, Don Van Vliet's paintings go for a rather large stack of nickels, yes.

Laurie Anderson claims to have worked at a McDonald's in NYC recently, but it was undoubtedly for more of a conceptual/storytelling purpose as usual. I would have paid large sums of money to sit in on that job interview, though.
