Okay, not a crooner, but a singer. Or a melodic yeller. Whatever.

Did you know Neil not only has his own brand of tequila, but has a bar in Vegas called "Dr. Feeelgood's"? Also, the band used to have a beer. It was called . . . Motley Brue. He has a vineyard, too.

I'm just saying this might happen again. It's happened before: He was arrested for vehicular manslaughter in 1984 after he drove drunk, crashed into another car, killed his passenger, and disabled the passengers in the car he hit.

He did fifteen days in jail for that.

It’s too soon to tell how much the immigration crackdown is to blame.
