Sometimes we get the idea that when our favorite rock musicians aren't recording an album or touring, they're just hanging out being rock stars, but many of them have side gigs, or hidden talents you may have never heard about....one of the wildest is guitar great (of the Doobies and other projects) Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, who is a consultant for missile defense, and has advised the Pentagon...the Who's Roger Daltrey has been a successful trout farmer for years, Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson is a registered commercial pilot, and commands Iron Maiden's Boeing 747 referred to as "Ed Force One" when the band is on tour...Red Hot Chili Peppers' Flea is a Chessmaster, Alice Cooper is a golf addict who plays about 300 rounds a year, Bob Dylan makes wrought iron gates, and several rockers are artists....here's more on the hidden or little known side passions and jobs of a bunch of rockers: https://ultimateclassicrock.com/rockers-with-hidden-talents/
