Larry "Mr . Fingers" Heard quit music to go into computer programming...(I hear he's back, though)...
and somebody mentioned Don Van Vliet, aka Captain Beefheart...yeah, his music wasn't selling so he had to go into visual art to make ends meet...

Victor Krummenacher of Camper Van Beethoven: Welcome to my day job.
For the last 15 years, I've been heavily involved in graphic design, when music doesn't pay the mortgage, this does. I've worked as the Art Director for the San Francisco Bay Guardian, as a page designer for Wired Magazine and as a freelance graphic designer for dozens of clients doing everything from CD design to advertisements to publication redesign.

Eric Bachmann of Archers of Loaf sells Cuban sandwiches in Denver
― Jake Brown, Thursday, 27 September 2007 01:13 (sixteen years ago) link
A few years back I remember seeing one of the members of ...and you will know us by the trail of dead working at a record store in Austin, specifically 33 degrees.
Also, Cuban sandwiches kick major ass and as such selling them is an honorable and praiseworthy trade.

I've been listening to Joe Escalante of the Vandals on Indie 103 in LA for a couple years now, it seems. Also Steve Jones (the Steve Jones) has a one-hour daily stint there.

Also, Joe was an entertainment biz lawyer for a while. He does a legal advice call-in once a week.

"When I was in college in the late eighties, I remember seeing one of the members of Eleventh Dream Day working in a Chicago record store. It was right then and there I saw the light that recording for a major label didn't give you a license to quit your day job. Even at 20-21 years old, I knew that the indie-level bands had some other source of income besides music, but 11DD were on Atlantic Records at the time - home of Phil Collins and Debbie Gibson! But, they weren't making Phil or Debbie's $$$, so..."
"yessir, empire records on...cicero, i think it was. met rick rizzo there in 1992. had the exact same reaction."
The store I was implying was actually the long-defunct-and-much-missed Round Records on Sheridan, and 11DD's Baird Figi worked there in the late eighties and early nineties. Only now finding out that Rizzo worked at Empire.
― Rev. Hoodoo, Friday, 28 September 2007 15:56 (sixteen years ago) link
holy crap! i used to live around the corner from round records in '90-'91. went there all the time. had i recognized baird figi i'm sure my mind would have been similarly blown (as it was, it was another year until i ran into rizzo at empire for the mindblowing).

Janet Bean of EDD was working at Blackout Records on Southport (near the Music Box, was Pravda store at one point) in 1993. She accused me of stealing magazines, but I had just walked out with a Reader, which is free. Rizzo was bartending at the Rainbo a few years ago, and maybe he still does. I don't go to too many bars any more.
