After Blur's fab Glastonbury headlining show ( a cheese farmer, an aspiring politician, a painter and an opera composer walk into a field...) I got to wondering what it is 'slebs' get up to when the undying adulation of the world gets a little stale and repetitive.
I think one of the most famous cases is Iron Maiden singer/ commercial pilot Bruce Dickinson, anyone know of any more 'Rock Stars do the funniest things (for a living)'?

Stairlifts (to heaven?)

Ian Curtis…
… was a civil servant working for the Manpower Services Commission throughout most of Joy Division's career. One of his female clients, who was epileptic, was supposedly the inspiration for She's Lost Control/The Trowel.
Curtis worked with Clive Gregson
Of Any Trouble and Clive Gregson fame, who remembered him as 'a bit of a knob'.
Brian Cox
of New labour anthem providers D:ream is a Professor of physics and has co-written book below "Why does e = mc2". Looks quite interesting.
I know this as I was "working from home" this morning and he was on Breakfast telly. What with that and the Ashes and you lot to talk to...

He was also the organ player in
'Darren Wharton's Dare' after the dissolusion of Thin Lizzy
Ringo and
Thomas The Tank Engine is surely worth a mention. The frustrating part is that it wasn´t shown in Sweden. I should have grown up with that, damn it. I was at the right age.
Also the singer in Bad Religion has a Ph.D. in geology.
