"Dope is a New York-based quintet led by brothers Edsel Dope (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) and Simon Dope (keyboards). Children of divorced parents, the two grew up separately in Florida. Simon studied chemistry at the University of Florida, then received a scholarship to Polytechnic in Brooklyn. There, he was joined by his brother; the two claim to have financed their demos by selling drugs."

It is interesting to think that one of the leading metal bands of modern times is headed by two brothers who were separated by a divorce. This fact also illustrates that sometimes to get what you want most you have to do some unsavory things like selling drugs.
