Desperate photo shoots and radio payola got him a couple of cute hits but he struck way too late after the Jo Bros were relevant to establish any kind of fanbase
It's also worth mentioning Nick Jr blatantly and desperately tried to imitate Bruce with his last album with 'the Administration' (Lolz), trying to serve a respected auteur rock star tea and ending up closer to Good Charlotte
He does but you just compared his fate to the likes of Mark Hamill or Carrie He's been on other movies iconic ones like Moulin Rouge or Trainspotting ( which I haven't seen )
Carrie has written successful screenplays though and is respected in Hwood, the real tragedy is Mark Hamill
