(CNN) -- Scott Brown knows how to stay in the spotlight. And for a politician who's sitting on the sidelines, possibly waiting to make his next move, staying in the spotlight is smart politics. Some out-of-office politicians write books, some host cable TV or radio talk shows or serve as pundits. Brown's following a different playbook. The former U.S. senator from Massachusetts, who recently moved to New Hampshire and is considering a GOP challenge this year to Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, is once again in the headlines. Brown jammed on stage this past weekend at a concert in Lynn, Massachusetts, with longtime rock group Cheap Trick, joining the band in playing "Surrender," one of its biggest hits from the 1970s.
