My bad about Green Day -- it was the Offspring I was thinking about (can't blame me, they're almost interchangeable as bands). On the other hand, rockers with PhDs:
Dexter Holland from Offspring (molecular biology, but dropped out with a masters)
Greg Gaffin from Bad Religion (zoology, 2007)
Brian May from Queen (astrophysics)
James Lilja from Offspring (medical degree, not PhD)
Sterling Morrison from the Velvet Underground (medieval literature, 80s)

- HunterLM 15y agoI've done a lot of work for Dexter Holland in the past (and a little for Bad Religion but I never met Graffin) and I can vouch for him being a seriously smart guy. Accomplished pilot, small business owner and inventor (several patents on LBS stuff from early 90s).
