musicians with highly skilled jobs

Post by ruckus49 » Sat Mar 19, 2011 5:01 am

just wondering if you guys know of any signed musicians who have or have had highly skilled jobs outside of the music/media industry. Something like a chemist, lawyer, or engineer.

..see he will probably read my post and go fucking crazy internally..
