## Resource

From emu farms to missile defense, musicians are reinventing themselves in wild, unexpected ways after leaving the stage. Terminator X ditched DJing for poultry, Jim Martin grew pumpkins instead of guitars, Brian Cox earned a PhD in physics, and Terry Chimes became a chiropractor and devout Catholic. Dan Spitz crafts luxury watches, Robert Dean paints jungle birds, and Jeff “Skunk” Baxter advised the U.S. military. These aren’t side gigs—they’re full-blown life pivots proving creativity knows no bounds. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
