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:
“I seemed intent on making it as difficult for myself as possible to pursue my “male” career goal. I not only procrastinated endlessly, submitting my medical school application at the very last minute, but continued to crave a conventional female role even as I moved ahead with my “male” pursuits.”
—Margaret S. Mahler (1897–1985)
“They want to play at being mothers. So let them. Expressing tenderness in their own way will not prevent girls from enjoying a successful career in the future; indeed, the ability to nurture is as valuable a skill in the workplace as the ability to lead.”
—Anne Roiphe (20th century)
“I began my editorial career with the presidency of Mr. Adams, and my principal object was to render his administration all the assistance in my power. I flattered myself with the hope of accompanying him through [his] voyage, and of partaking in a trifling degree, of the glory of the enterprise; but he suddenly tacked about, and I could follow him no longer. I therefore waited for the first opportunity to haul down my sails.”
—William Cobbett (1762–1835)
