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.
Jack Natz (Undead/Virus/BlackSnakes/Cop Shoot Cop/Lubricated Goat/CrimeWave/Crux) is now a bike messenger.
Supposedly Wild Bill Carter of the Screaming Blue Messiahs is now a scooter messenger in London...with a tenuous grasp on sanity.
an old co-worker used to get her taxes done by (i think) the drummer from the circle jerks.
I've heard that too, only it's not the drummer, it's their bass player circa Golden Showe of Hits (whose name escapes me).

he was a tugboat captain. also, a medieval scholar.
M4rk Ibold is also a "food designer" for photo shoots. Meaning, he makes sure photographed food looks good.

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.
also check this out about my favo heavy metal singer:
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'd have thought he could live off of the royalties from "Lean on Me" alone.

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.

David Schelzel of The Ocean Blue was a year behind me in law school. We had a class together, and he seemed pretty bookish. I believe he is a corporate attorney somewhere in MN.
