Steve Howe managed to play guitar with Yes and GTR during the 80s while maintaining respectable stats with the Dodgers and Yankees.

Chris Carter has the X-Files in re-runs even as those albums he made with Cosey languish in cut-out bins. He also enjoyed a decent college football career during his down-time.

Chris Cooper went on to play for the San Francisco 49ers after the Pale Saints called it quits.

Matt Johnson, when not The The-ing, is quite the NHL brawler on his ice-skates.

And fucking John Foxx, of all people, is the coach of the Carolina Panthers. Glad he butched up.

Hats off to these note-worthy multi-taskers.

Chris Cooper also moonlights on the silver screen, playing villains these days after a stint being the hero in movies like Matewan.

somewhere between playing bass for the rolling stones and shagging very young women, bill wyman found the time to become a successful rock critic.

robert palmer enjoyed an even more successful rockcrit career even as he was singing "johnny and mary" and fronting the power station. most sadly, he died young, twice.

yet another rocker-slash-rock-critic would be robert gordon.

I hear David Thomas of Pere Ubu makes a mean hamburger.

Mike Oldfield used to be one of those people who could review his own albums in Melody Maker.
