2. Cutting Up Dead Bodies For A Living
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-pO_nWBiz4 Music history is littered with artists who have had weird occupations before they found fame. Ozzy Osbourne famously worked in a slaughterhouse, Mick Jagger was employed as a porter in a psychiatric hospital, and Rod Stewart dug graves for a living. Jonathan Davis of Korn is no exception to this, and in fact his job before he became a metal superstar is possibly the weirdest of all he was a mortician and a coroner. After leaving school, he enrolled at San Franciscos School of Mortuary, where he earned a degree and went to work at Californias Kern County Coroners Department. He also moonlighted in a funeral home, where he had to embalm and cut up corpses, something he loved. I could do things serial killers did, and get paid for it, he once told an interviewer. While his parents thought his chosen occupation was a problem, Davis saw it as a different viewpoint on life and death. It also gave him a lot of attention, which he really enjoyed. He only got out of the death game after an astrologer told him he could become infamous if he became a musician and fronted a rock band. Davis would heed her advice, and the rest is history.
