Why do rock stars need side-jobs?

This is for all non-EC or peripheral-EC topics. We all know how much we love talking about 'The Man' but sometimes we have other interests.

I know!! I saw ads for that, and what the hell? Is he a history buff? Is he somehow connected to the producers and has a vested financial interest in the success of the show? If so, one would think they would hire someone who was, I don't know, an authority on the subject! Is it some kind of penance for past transgressions? Sort of an Outward Bound experience for drug-rehabbers or something?

It's a puzzle.
