Fergie Frederiksen has also enjoyed a long, prosperous and highly varied career in music.  After he left TrillionFrederiksen was involved with a disco movie called Can't Stop the Music, featuring Village People.  Can't Stop the Music is notorious as the first recipient of the Golden Raspberry Award ("Razzie") for Worst Picture of the Year; in fact, Razzies founder John J.
