"without ever having a job"<p>First Google Result for "nofx retire":<p>> The punk group have all got normal jobs, which they will continue to pursue, but are pulling out all the stops for one final tour for their army of fans.<p>Seems in direct contradiction with this anarchist click bait title.
"The Decline" is worth a listen for anyone interested in this band.<p><a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Decline_(EP)" rel="nofollow">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Decline_(EP)</a>
Fun fact:<p>Fat Mike once owned this swanky house in San Francisco [1]. Not too bad for “not having a job!”<p>Also, the dude founded and ran Fat Wreck Chords in 1990! He continues to run it with his partner to this day [2].<p>[1] <a href="https://www.sfgate.com/realestate/article/sf-home-punk-rock-royalty-connections-for-sale-19444607.php" rel="nofollow">https://www.sfgate.com/realestate/article/sf-home-punk-rock-...</a><p>[2] <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_Wreck_Chords" rel="nofollow">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_Wreck_Chords</a>
never thought i'd see "NOFX" here hah. I was skating with the littler brother of one of my friend's girlfriend when he casually said "have you ever heard of NOFX?" and that was that.<p>I don't really care about the politics but one of my favorite lyrics of all time is from Dig<p>Camped outside laissez-faire<p>People understand me there<p>Don't talk to me, we'll get along just fine
I’ve probably listened to this band more than any other. I was born and raised in Los Angeles and grew up on it along with similar bands. I actually ran into Fat Mike totally randomly out in public this past year. I introduced myself, he’s a nice guy and exactly what you’d expect.
Pump up the valuum was one of my first punk CDs I listened to, I didn't know the sound was punk at the time yet since I was immersed in my new nu metal phase. I've been punk rock since then.
About living from band.. last time I spoke with Eyehategod bassist, then these guys live from touring. Most of the year, they are on the wheels. Didn't seem to close to retirement yet \o/ \w/

The title assumes being a working musician is not a job? That's pretty insulting. While some seem to coast along, the bulk of them work pretty damn hard.
