In the 1970s Browde produced several platinum albums for renowned right wing gun-toting guitarist Ted Nugent, despite them mutually hating each other. After his record sales dwindled, Browde made a career change with his satirical and somewhat autobiographical novel, "While I'm Dead...Feed the Dog" in 1999. Translated into several languages the book was also adapted into the 2012 film Behaving Badly. The film did not see release until 2014 and has been publicly disavowed by Browde who has lampooned the movie in his blog, "While I'm Dead...Feed the Dog...the Blog - the story behind the story behind the movie that has nothing to do with the story.
