Any others?
Warren Zane (brother of Dan Zane), used to be in the Del Fuegos and is now a Professor. (I think of English.) He wrote the 33 1/3 book on Dusty Springfield.
Franklin Bruno, indie rocker/professor.
Phil Alvin, lead singer of the Blasters, got his Ph.D. in mathematics.
All of the members of Queen, except Freddy, had advanced degrees in science, so add Roger Taylor and John Deacon.
Didn't Milo from the Descendents not only go to college but also get an advanced degree? (They had an album titled Milo Goes to College.)
Other Indie rock PhD's that immediately come to mind: Franklin Bruno [link]
t edit: damn you Smay!
, Amelia Fletcher [link]
Yeah, Milo is a Doc: [link]
damn you Smay!
Bwuah hahaha!
I love that sweaty ol' Phil Alvin got a math Ph.D.
Yes, Milo is apparently a biochemist: [link]
I find it fascinating, having lived through two PhDs (one successful, mr. flea's, one not, mine) that anyone could combine such a thing with a rock band career. I mean, talk about varying talents!
I mean, talk about varying talents!
I know!
Graeme Downes of the New Zealand band The Verlaines has a PhD in Musicology, which is a little bit more understandable.
Karl Precoda [link] as well.
There aren't a lot of doctor rockers. Whereas there used to be a long tradition of doctor/poets.
William Carlos Williams and...?
