Loretta and Oscar Williams are both still alive and thus have lived to witness their son’s many accomplishments as well as his name being cleared.
Oscar Williams, and posthumously, his father, Buddy, are in consideration to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for their recording careers, as well as their influence and training of not only DuShawn Williams and Preacher McCade, but also Louisiana Jazz, Blues and Funk greats Coltrane Richardson, Maurice “MoMo” Bell, Teona “Baby” Foster and Maryjane Jarrett.
DuShawn Williams and his wife Vanessa have three children, all boys: Oscar, Muddy “Mudd” and John Lee, known as “Buddy”.
Tim Townes and Marty Townes still surf, make music and films and reside in the home in Malibu that Tim purchased at the beginning of the Roadmasters’ rise to fame. A home that they’ve shared since they met.
Other than Brody, they have no children.
Brody Townes is also said to be a world-class surfer. However, even if he’s widely known as one of the best, he did not enter the circuit.
Instead, at the of age seventeen, he started the website RockitRollit.com which is a portal for independent musical acts to submit work, including audio files and videos, in which subscribers can listen, view and make playlists and the artists earn royalties, gather followings and a number have gleaned record deals.
His father provided the startup capital, is a consultant in this venture and all the Roadmasters, as well as Tom Mancosa, sit on the board.
Although Brody Townes is in his early 20s, he’s been declared one of the one hundred most influential people in the entertainment industry and it is known his estimated worth is ten times his father’s.
Dave Clinton met Janey “YB” (short for “Yo, Bitch”) Rogers, lead guitarist of the all-female punk band, Yeah, I Got Tits, in 2008.
After the duo was banned from five hotels in four cities for destroying rooms, in 2009, Rogers announced she was “off the market,” indicating she’d become engaged to Clinton. She did this during a live interview on an airplane, after which she jumped out of it, parachuting safely to the ground.
Clinton and Rogers married on a beach in Fiji in 2010 with Rogers wearing a leopard-print mini-dress reminiscent of Wilma Flintstone and Clinton wearing a misshapen V-neck T-shirt, loose, patterned pants and a shawl-necked collar cardigan much like the fictional “The Dude” Lebowski.
Once named husband and wife, they charged into the surf whereupon Rogers pretended to drown.
The Roadmasters were in attendance and there is a now-iconic picture of the band members and their respective partners standing on the beach close together, laughing at these antics.
Lyla is wearing a T-shirt that states: “I ♥ My Uterus.”
After this picture was published, there was such a run on this T-shirt, at one point, they were selling for $1000.
Clinton and Rogers filed a petition for divorce the very next day which was granted after six months.
