Rock Star Siblings Who Should Have Learned A Trade By ericsandberg [15 more lists]
How many people do you know, do the exact same job as their brother or sister.
If my sister had become a plumber, it doesn't follow that I will want to be a plumber, too. Why is it that the siblings of so many rock stars think they should be a rock star, too? Rock stars should give their family members a chunk of their inheritance in advance, and make them sign papers that they will not enter a recording studio, even if it is to unclog the toilet.

Tom Fogerty
Not wanting to operate in his much more talented brother's shadow, Tom Fogerty left Creedence Clearwater Revival to go solo. This, at least proves that Dave Davies (see below) was smarter than Tom Fogerty.
Had Tom lived, he would probably be fronting Creedence Clearwater Revisited. -

Mike McGear
"Oh, I'm not trading off my brother, Paul's name, I'm using a pseudonym!!
Except for the fact that Paul wrote all the songs and played all the instruments on my only album, I am going to succeed on my own talent!" - 3
Chris Jagger
I would have been simply content to stay within a hundred yard radius so as to catch all the fleshy shrapnel. -

Lucy Simon
Ironically, Lucy was the songwriter in their early kid-focused act. Carly grew up and left her in a cloud of dust that still hasn't settled. - 5
Dave Davies
To be fair, Dave deserved to be in The Kinks. His playing gave the band its fire, and "Death Of A Clown and "Living On A Thin Line" are two of my favorite Kinks songs.
The reality is that Dave has suffered his megalomaniacal brother for four decades, because, without Ray's gift for prolific, genius, songwriting, he would be a retired chartered accountant by now.
