When a rock star appears on stage it’s magical. The live music, the memories, the moment your favorite song crashes through the sound system. It must be great to be a rock star, but like you, these musicians held regular jobs before the fame and fortune kicked in.

Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder worked early on as a night security guard while Gene Simmons of Kiss was paid to be an assistant at two national women’s publications.
