Only because his dad helped him build it.
Wow, guess he’s not going to be asked to the Steely Dan tour! What a musical background.
One of the best pedal steel guitarists in the business, just listen to his solo on “Pearl of the Quarter”.
So were the Skunk Works named after him or is it the other way around?
Very cool story.
Thanks.
Frank Zappa became a dental floss tycoon ...
Apparently some rockers are smarter than people think. Dexter Holland of The Offspring attended Pacifica High School in Garden Grove, California, where he graduated as class valedictorian in 1984. During high school, Holland was the best student in mathematics in his year, then attended the University of Southern California, where he earned a B.S. degree in biology and an M.S. degree in molecular biology, and commenced a Ph.D. in molecular biology.

I thought Kid Rock had his own signature line of doublewide moble homes.....guess I just dreamt that.
Peter Tork held a doctorate in something if I recall. I want to say Physics.
James Young of Styx holds a degree in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from the Illinois Institute of Technology. These guys are a trip.
I assume he’s reeling in the years.
That was his father.
Didn’t Tork’s mother invent Velcro or something like that???
Hey now. I’ve been playing since ‘62, worked on nuke subs, worked on the shuttle, worked on experimental nave vessels and nobody gives me a pat on the back. LOL! Lucky for me I don’t require that. Oh, and still doing jams in town.
Tom Stoltz of Boston has a Bachelors and Master from MIT in Mechanical Engineering. It only took him a year to earn the masters. He invented the Rockman portable amp.
If I recall, he also played every instrument on the debut album in the studio.
