Mike Score - Career

Career

Score had previously been a hairdresser, and was well known for his distinctive combed-back hairstyle. By 1984, he became completely bald.

He was in the band A Flock of Seagulls until 1986, but when he decided to reform the band again in 1989, the other members declined to join him. He still performs and tours with A Flock of Seagulls but with different members.

In 2004, the original members of A Flock of Seagulls were reunited by VH1's Bands Reunited. They played their hit "I Ran (So Far Away)" at a one-off performance in London. In an interview before the performance, it was revealed that his 'seagull' or 'wings' hairstyle was created when Score was trying to style his hair like that of David Bowie's character, Ziggy Stardust. AFOS bassist Frank Maudsley was trying to use the mirror at the same time, and placed his hand on Score's head, leaving only the hair on the sides of his head sticking up. The reunion of the band apparently resolved tension between himself and his brother, Ali Score, the band's ex-drummer, which had been present since the band's break-up.

As of December 2007, Score lives in Brevard County, Florida on the Indian River. He ran a restaurant called The Legends Café in Cocoa Beach, which closed in 2008.

Famous quotes containing the word career:

    “Like the old soldier of the ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye.”
    —Douglas MacArthur (1880–1964)

    “What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
    —Arlie Hochschild (20th century)

    “The problem, thus, is not whether or not women are to combine marriage and motherhood with work or career but how they are to do so—concomitantly in a two-role continuous pattern or sequentially in a pattern involving job or career discontinuities.”
    —Jessie Bernard (20th century)
