The thread about the relative merits of Penelope Houston (ex-Avengers)'s second career as a folky-got me thinking about Peter Case's (Plimsouls) second career as a folky-any thoughts about great second careers for your favorite muscical artists from way back when?

Adam Ant went on to be crazy![:D]

But now after seeing bands reunited, I see that most new wave artists just joined the world like the rest of us. Bankers, brokers, and other normal jobs. Some produce in the industry.2 people that stick out: Thomas Dol

Actually, Danny Elfman of oingo boingo does almost all of the movies sound tracks now adays. He is very talented and now all the producers are after him for their movie scores. There are too many to list, he does them all.

Kate from Haysi Fantaysi went on to become a big photographer and artist.

Peter Garrett from Midnight Oil went on to become a Senator in Australia. Big major political figure. (Wonder if he still does the bald look? )

Speaking of Haysi Fantayzee, Jeremy went on to be a club dj, and Paul Caplin invented something to do with computers and became a multi-gazillionaire with his own company.
