funny how few people expect the people who played in even remotely successful bands at some point in the past to actually be, you know, human, once their time in the limelight fades. even more
is how people are routinely amazed that one time 'successful' musicians have to work regular jobs to pay the bills once their touring days are long over.
kind of like how i've bought plenty of albums from the drummer from Eric's Trip. i always knew him as 'that' dude from the record store until a friend filled me in after i moved to town. he's freaking cool as hell with a 'i've rocked out my entire freaking life' vibe but none of the 'i was a rockstar' BS. not unlike the guitarist from the Monoxides (a one hit wonder) who used to work at the same store and had one of the worst attitudes you could imagine.
