    He acted in the children's movie flop 'Gordy.'
    He changed record labels three times during the 2000's.

    In a drunken rage, he attacked his oldest son during an altercation over his alcoholism. (August, 2009).
    Following the incident, his son Dustin pressed charges against him.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He wisely adopted the stage name 'Doug Stone' in order to avoid confusion with both Garth Brooks and Kix Brooks of Brooks & Dunn, who both launched their careers at the same time.
    He underwent a quadruple bypass surgery (1992).
    When he suffered a number of serious medical problems during the mid to late 1990's, he wisely scaled back his touring schedule to avoid further stress.
