he actually worked at Rocketdyne in Simi Valley. i tried to talk to him about it once but that guy is difficult to talk to. he's always in his own world.

Bruce Dickinson juggles life as singer for the band Iron Maiden with flying a Boeing
A ROCK star whose band is famed for long hair and wild on-stage antics has taken off in a new career: as an airline pilot.
Bruce Dickinson, lead singer of the heavy metal band Iron Maiden, has passed rigorous flight exams to qualify to fly twin-engine passenger jets with a new charter airline based at Gatwick.
He now works as a pounds 35,000-a-year first officer, flying 148-seat Boeing 737s to holiday destinations ranging from Portugal to Egypt.
These days, Dickinson, 44, who once had waist-length, ginger hair and leapt around stage in leathers and skin-hugging tights ...

I read somewhere that he'd been a freelance journalist while in Cobra Verde--is he a staff writer or a stringer now?
Julia Cafritz reportedly is teaching in NYC, and I once heard about Juliana Hatfield working at one of the Newbury Comics stores.

i read an interview with him recently; he says he just likes to be busy. sounds good to me. i wonder if the showcase homes he builds have a big "built by BILL 'LEAN ON ME' WITHERS" sign out front.

Once he delivered my mail for a week or two. It's true!
**I saw Debbie (guitar player) from Curve/Echobelly working at a used disc store in London right across from the Notting Hill tube stop in 2000.**
She still does, Alex. It's the big Record and Tape Exchange (or Music and Video exchange as it's now called.) She's usually in the rock rareties section upstairs, where Epic Soundtracks also used to work.

"Once he delivered my mail for a week or two. It's true!"
It can't be all that frequent for a customer to ask a postman to sign something he hasn't even delivered....
Last year my old mate N* (who's a delivery driver) was asked to deliver a package to an address somewhere in Surrey.
So he turned up at the door of this cottage and knocked - and it was answered by none other than Bruce Foxton of The Jam / Stiff Little Fingers.
The ensuing converstaion apparently went something like this:
N*: "Bruce Foxton?" BF: "Yes?"N*: "Bruce...? Foxton...?"BF: "Errrr.... yes?"N*: "Bruce Foxton!"BF: "Can I help you?"N*: "But you're.... you're.... Bruce Foxton!"BF: "Ummm.... yes, I know!"
On his return to the depot, N* was apparently asked to explain why he hadn't obtained a signature for the delivery and the only explanation he was able to offer was "He was Bruce Foxton.... Bruce Foxton? Oh, you know: Bruce Foxton!"
I believe N* got a bit of a bollocking for leaving the package without getting a signature but he still insists that his biggest regret was failing to ask Mr. Foxton to teach him how to play the bass line to "Precious".

He probably does this for bragging rights.
Big Paul Ferguson of Killing Joke is now an art restorer, specializing in pre-Islamic Afghan scupture (Ghandaran?)
Doesn't Jim Martin, ex Faith No More, now raise genetically enhanced super-sized vegetables (ala Woody Allen's "Sleeper")? I seem to remember reading that somewhere.
