Welp, Mick Brown (The Drummer in the article) was co-founder of Dokken and also played in Lynch Mob and Exciter, as well as Tooth and Nail.
His fans knew him by "Wild" Mick Brown. I wonder why?
Lowest paid and most over looked member of the band??? Did you read that in Tiger Beat? I'm willing to bet the money is split more or less evenly amongst the members since they alll play a part in the success of the band. After the manager and everyone else gets their cut of course.
I highly doubt his is so poor he can only afford a golf cart.
He didn't own the golf cart, he stole it and was charged with DUI and theft, along with a couple of other things.
As far as Uncle Ted's relevancy, I'm not sure when you were born, he was big back in the 70's but had been performing since '58 and performed his 6000th concert on July 4, 2008. It's very possible his relevancy came before you were born.
If not, maybe you just were never a Nugent fan or prefer something more along the lines of Justin Bieber?
Along with the fact that Nugent is pro-gun and pro-hunting which makes him a high profile thorn in the side of Liberal gun control wackos and anti-hunting groups like PETA. He has no problem telling them to stick it. He also supports the military and does free concerts (one with Toby Keith) for our troops. As far as I'm concerned, that alone makes him relevant.
You don't have to be on the front page of every rag to be relevant.
ETA: I need to add Nugent has released more than 34 albums and has sold a career total of 30 million records. Hardly a one hit wonder or flash in the pan.
