Who Do You Think Had the Most Distinguished Solo Career Beyond Their Famous Band?
Today's Mike's Music Morning is going to be fun!
My wife worked at Tower Records back in the day, and one of the funniest stories she told me was about these two teenie boppers that came in, and one of them said “Oh. My. God. Becky. Look at her…”, wait, that’s not right…
“Did you know Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings??” <facepalm>
Anywho. Guess who we’re starting out with today, campers?
That band after The Beatles:
My wife says this is just as much our song as it is Paul and Linda’s…
Ok. Next up: Sting. Formerly of The Police, also a Harkonnen (#IYKYK):
Love this video, but why do they all look like Malcolm McDowell in “A Clockwork Orange”???
This is a great song from his solo career. “The sacred geometry of chance”:
It was a toss-up between this and “Brand New Day”…
“You could say I’d lost my belief in our politicians/They all seem like game show hosts to me”
Good morning from the French Quarter in New Orleans.

A Note from Mike: This is the part where I post links to the rest of the series, but it’s getting a bit long. So, I’ll be maintaining THIS POST so you can go through the archives.
Alice Cooper.
Everyone knows John Lennon and Paul McCartney were part of the Beatles, and that Michael Jackson started out with the Jackson 5/Jacksons. But not many people realize "Alice Cooper" used to be the *band* name, not Vincent Furnier's personal stage name.
