Today we celebrate the 40th birthday of two of the most influential twins in music history - the Nelson brothers.
What's to know about the Brothers Douche:
- They look alike.
- Their dad is Ricky Nelson, one of Ozzie and Harriet's brats. (Some of you kiddies may be too young to remember this show. That's really sad. I watched it every night on Nick at Night, right after Dobie Gillis and Donna Reed. It was awesome.)
- They were once listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the only family to reach number one record status in three successive generations.
- They had a number one hit for one week. Then the rest of their music sucked. After the Rain was okay, but nowhere near as sweet as "Love and Affection"
- Apparently, they are really popular in Japan. But they are easily entertained, so that's not saying much.
- They also inspired a cartoon - "Nelson: Rock & Roll Detectives".
These hos are still touring:
