Reminds me of Travis Morrison, lead singer of the indie band The Dismemberment Plan who were popular in the 90s/early 2000s. After his retirement from music he became a web developer who at one point worked for the washington post and huffington post.
His girlfriend (now wife) describes the experience of being with someone who was once somewhat famous in this article [0] -- There were moments of extreme cognitive dissonance when I saw him up there. He’s a wild and expert showman on stage. As I’d watch him do things like play the keyboard by smashing it with his forehead, spit water all over the audience or writhe convulsively on the ground, I would think, “I can’t believe this is the same man who likes to go to bed at 10 o’clock and sweetly brings me coffee in bed every morning.”
