Peter Garrett also has a law degree which predates his time with Midnight Oil.
Well, for a lawyer, elected office is a fairly typical example of the workaday world.
I suspect you’re right; it’s certainly true of James and Gill, although they do at least muck in (I mean, no one becomes a pig and turkey farmer as a hobby - the smell alone, oy vey…).
Late 60s-early 70s singer/actor Bobby Sherman became an EMT in Los Angeles, first as a volunteer, then officially. He later was promoted to the rank of Captain at the LAPD, and was a medical training officer, training police officers in CPR and First Aid. Not bad for a former teen idol.
In February 2010, an autobiography Me, The Mob, and The Music was published. James announced that deals were in hand to turn the story into both a film and a Broadway play.[3] Barbara De Fina is producing the film.
It was evident when James first met Morris Levy, the head of Roulette Records, that Levy was willing to strongarm others when necessary. Those signed to Roulette were there to produce money for the company, having their needs met only when it pleased Levy. Asking to be paid meant intimidation; to survive, those under contract to Roulette needed to find a means of generating income that did not involve the record company, such as personally booked tours.[5] While a Roulette artist had great creative control when recording for the company, the lack of payment for those efforts was difficult to take.[4][5][11]
James estimates the company owed him $30–40 million in royalties he never received.[5][12] Roulette was used as a front for organized crime, also functioning as a money laundering operation, as Levy was closely allied with the Genovese crime family.
IIRC Tommy waited till the bad guys were all dead before publishing and Levy was the inspiration for Hesh on the Sopranos.
I seem to recall, also, that at the time of Michael’s death, one of the Jacksons was stocking shelves in a grocery store.
