I wanted to finish school and become a dentist, Allman told Alan Paul in 2014s One Way Out.
I graduated high school and thought, Ill give it a year.
Ill go out and play these clubs and then Ill go on to college.'
Wed all have turned into fucking vegetables if we hadnt been able to get out there and play.
Thats where the success was, Jack.
Meanwhile, Allman maintained a solo career, occasionally scoring hits such as 1986s Im No Angel.

And we finished everything we started.
