I always wonder what semi popular indie musicians in particular do for money when so much of their years are taken up by touring across great distances to play at venues that cannot possibly cover expenses. Ties in here since it would be interesting to see the kind of homes they can afford too.

I remember when Neil was on Leno in 1992 after one or two predictable questions from Jay, Neil said, "You know, I'd much rather play with this train you've got back here." For some reason, an electric train was part of the Tonight Show set. Neil jumped up and began moving things around (plants and such) to get to the train, to the surprise of Leno.

Hard to really get a sense of the homes because the pictures are so tight on the musicians. From what I can see, I don't think I'd like to live in any of them. Beck, Watts, and Marriott all look like "my first apartment" kinda deals. Hendrix's furniture all looks uncomfortable. Tina has a a decent-sized kitchen though.
