I could have sworn Larry Storch was in the Grass Roots at one point.

 

I thought this was interesting. Dan Spitz from Anthrax is a master watchmaker:

If memory serves, pretty sure some guy name "Terry," (if that's even his real name) was in the band on guitar in the early 70s.

[NoJ]

How come Chet Lemon isnt on the list? If memory serves correctly, wasnt he a percussionist with the band during off season in the 70s?

Nice one ...

I think you are confusing him with Joe Pollard:

You say that like I know who Joe Pollard is.

 

Nice one ...

Chet, the guy was/is a class act.

I forgot about this one. Did somebody mention it already?

 

Edward Tudor-Pole, leader of rowdy early-80s pub rock band Tenpole Tudor, went on to host a TV show, I believe—a game show or something called The Crystal Maze.

 

And, since we can only see one vid per post, here is the link to a vid of him hosting the show:

Goofy bastard.

after leaving Iggy, James Williamson went on to be a VP for Sony Music.

Alex James, blur bassist, became a cheesemaker. Blessed are the cheesemakers.
