MCROCKLIN STILL ROCKLIN

This video shows an 11-year-old axeman, Thomas McRocklin (his real name) owning a pub in Donnington. So just like Woodward and Burnstein spending two years exposing the Watergate scandal, I spent twenty minutes at lunch Googling McRocklin to find out what happened. After appearing on a BBC documentary, McRocklin was spotted by ethereal guitar virtuoso and probable sexual deviant, Steve Vai. He took McRocklin’s fledgling fingers and put them to work in Vai’s metal child labour factory. The result? Bad4Good. Under Vai's guidance, the band released one album in 1992 called Refugee, which featured the hit song nineteen, which was about being nineteen.

Despite critical praise, the album was a commercial flop, and the band disbanded shortly after. McRocklin now lives in Newcastle and works in a music shop. Sucker. Here is his MySpace page.
