most musicians are jocks, at least in spirit. the kind of person you need to be a successful songwriter is closer to the jock than the loser archetype

>>127260046
ive come to learn that the only musician who really fitted the "loser" archetype was Al Wilson from Canned Heat.

basketball ...in 1950's-60's England? hmm

maybe they tried it in gym class but i doubt they had a school team

>>127260923
> The earliest basketball teams in the UK likely formed in the late 1890s through YMCA programs, as the sport spread via community and recreational groups. By the early 20th century, particularly during and after World War I (1914–1918), American soldiers boosted the sport’s popularity, leading to more structured teams. A notable example is a London YMCA team competing in the 1924 Paris Olympics demonstration games, indicating established teams by the 1920s.


I think, more likely, is that he played as an extra-curricular activity outside of school, but during his school years.

this guy was the singer of two skate punk bands (Ten Foot Pole, Pulley) while pitching for the White Sox and the Dodgers for 10 years

Speaking of which, Steve Harris was in the juniors for West Ham United, it's why he dedicated Maiden's albums with "Up thr Hammers!". They infamously had a football match with the Scorpions where Maiden prevailed.

>>127261225
>He had the time for that with all the drinking and drugs?
I dunno, he could just be bullshitting I guess, but in his memoir he claimed he was forced to play on the school "football" team, otherwise they'd throw him in jail for some misdemeanours he'd been arrested for, because he was a good player and they thought it might straighten him out a bit. He said he hated it though kek.

>>127261354

I'm sure there's at least one Oasis vid with them playing footie in it. Would love to see Maiden kick the fuck out of them in a match.

>>127261510
Maiden would probably kick the fuck out of them period, lol. I mean speaking in solely instrument-swinging terms, Maiden have more guitarists and that's not even taking in consideration they are electrical guitars, with solid bodies, which would probably bring up the tally to 3 to 1.
