The Resume

    (October 3, 1954-August 27, 1990)
    Known for songs such as 'Cold Shot,' 'Crossfire,' 'DFW,' 'Tick Tock,' 'Pride & Joy,' 'You're Gonna Miss Me Baby' and 'Blues At Sunrise'
    Brother of Jimmie Lee Vaughan

Why he might be annoying:

    At twelve, his parents tried to end his musical pursuits when they witnessed Stevie and his older brother doing drugs and alcohol.
    He quit his job as a dishwasher after the top of the barrel he was standing on caved in and he ended up standing up to his chest in a vat of grease.

Why he might not be annoying:

    Despite his parents' objections, he continued to pursue music.
    He went into music full time after the grease incident.
    When news of his death broke out, listeners phoned radio stations with requests to play his single 'Pride & Joy.'
    His death saddened the music industry; Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt and Stevie Wonder sang 'Amazing Grace' together at his funeral.
    The album he recorded with his brother was released posthumously.
