Rockers Who Used To Be Teachers (And What They Looked Like Teaching)
By Dave Basner / www.iheart.com
Once again it's the time of year that many kids dread - when they head back to school.
One thing that should make students a little more excited to get back to learning is knowing that their new teacher might someday become a rock star. Think it sounds far-fetched? Well here's a list of 6 rockers who once were teachers:
1. Gene Simmons:
Before performing in front of thousands, the KISS bassist was teaching in front of a few dozen 6th graders in New York's Spanish Harlem. He once said he decided to teach because he wanted to be the center of people's attention, however 40 students looking at him wasn't enough so Gene quit after six months to go on and perform in front of 40,000 people at a time.
