...on an everyday basis?

i could just imagine syd barrett riding on his bike, if he likes
roger waters arguing with cashiers in tesco
rick wakeman showing off on the local church organ
peter gabriel running a costume shop with all his favourite genesis character suits available
omar and cedric being advanced linguistic teachers
steve hackett hacking it down to the old genesis pet store (which actually exists)

Mikael Akerfeldt trying to ignore the drunks next door and concentrate on composing (such are the conditions he works in, allegedly);

Steven Wilson removing the needles

John Petrucci dreaming of theaters

OK., I'll better stop here

Greg Lake spends a lot of his time in bakeries, trying different pies and cakes. At home he tends to experiment with biscuits, including seeing how quickly he can scoff a whole packet of hob nobs.

Phil Collins has moved to Switzerland to be nearer to the famed Zurich hair restorer laboratories, plus the colder weather gives him a plausible excuse for wearing a hat at all times.

In an effort to show the younger generation what rock and roll is all about, Alex Lifeson relaxes by picking fights with members of the police force, and what's wrong with that?

Robert Fripp has no outside interests. Simply being Robert Fripp is more than enough work for any 3 normal human beings.

Actually Greg doesn't do pies... but he does like milkshakes. He also loves history and collects old books.  He recently bought an old Astin Martin that he is restoring himself..

David Gilmour babysits the kids while his wife writes... and he takes sax lessons with his son Charlie..

Roger Waters has fights with his neighbors on Lond Island..

Jon Anderson teaches music to the american indian children at the local school were he lives in California.

If Greg says he doesn't do pies he's obviously in denial - could be time for some tough love from his real friends.
