Madison Rising Goes to Court Over Violent Drinking Binges and Extramarital Affair With Senator’s Daughter
If you have been active in the conservative or tea party movement in recent years, you have probably heard Madison Rising grunge-ing up the National Anthem or some other patriotic standard. Everything else tea party has pretty much imploded, so it’s fitting that the manufactured pro-America rock band is heading to court to sue its former lead singer David Bray.
The band has filed suit against original frontman David Bray, who was let go earlier this year for allegedly “exhibiting extremely aggressive and violent behavior behind the scenes, including binge drinking, becoming significantly more confrontational with other band members.”
In addition, the lawsuit claims that in Bray carried on a “lengthy” extramarital relationship with Ayla Brown, the daughter of former Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown, who was also a 2006 American Idol contestant. The suit maintains that the affair “damaged” the image of Madison Rising. At present, Ayla Brown is a professional singer married to Colorado Rockies pitcher Keith Weiser.
What’s the problem? I mean, what says “rock and roll patriotism” more than drunken fights and nailing the daughter of a Republican Senator who once posed naked for Cosmo?
Much like a your average “boy band” Madison Rising is a top-down corporate contrivance. Entrepreneur Richard Mgrdechian conceived of the idea for a flagrantly patriotic American rock band and then cast musicians to play in the band.
The lawsuit also stresses that Bray — who lost a $78,000 annual salary as the band’s singer — has repeatedly violated a “no compete” clause by falsely portraying himself as a super-patriot and performing at what would otherwise be prime Madison Rising spots such as … well, more Donald Trump rallies. The complaint claims that Bray was specifically coached in how to “create the character and persona” of a proud American patriot, and was trained using talking points about patriotism, the military, and other topics. The damning accusation continues: “Until Mr. Mgrdechian gave Mr. Bray a character to play, he had shown no care for or musical involvement with the military, veterans, police or firefighters.”
So there were people who were only using the tea party movement as a way to earn money? I’m shocked.
Court documents further allege that Bray once bragged about beating up a pair of Pennsylvania police officers and that he “choked out” his commander while serving in the Navy. Mgrdechian also claims Bray physically attacked him upon learning that Madison Rising had not been invited to perform at the Super Bowl.
This news is so 2016.

Love and war: Pearl Harbor attack prompted Hoschton couple’s late-night wedding
Rudy and June Phillips didn’t plan on getting married until the spring of 1942 in what would have been a nice ceremony in a church with flower girls, groomsmen, bridesmaids, a minister and a wedding march.
Then the Japanese Air Force bombed Pearl Harbor.
The teenage couple had already been engaged for six months when the attack happened on Dec. 7, 1941. Once they heard the news, the couple decided a draft would follow quickly and that would likely mean 19-year-old Rudy soon getting called up for military service.
The solution seemed logical to them: Get married right away. On Dec. 7. A “day which will live in infamy,” to quote President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
“I had a date with June that night and we ate dinner and had a few beers, and got talking about marrying,” Rudy said. “I said, ‘Well, I’ll probably be gone soon and we should get married before I leave.’ Well, she didn’t say yes, and she didn’t say no, and I said, ‘Well, I think it’s now or never.’ She said, ‘Let’s go.’”
On Wednesday, America will stop and commemorate the 75th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. The next day, Rudy and June Phillips will celebrate their 75th wedding anniversary. Rudy is 94 and June is 93, and they now live in Hoschton.
Of course, if you want to get technical about it, the couple’s anniversary will be at 12:30 a.m. Thursday.
It would have been earlier, on Dec. 7 in fact, if a justice of the peace hadn’t made a fuss about June’s age. He was convinced she was younger than her real age at the time — 18 — and wasn’t about to wed her off to Rudy.
“The couple that was with us, the girl looked a little older, in fact she was a little older,” Rudy said. “So he told her, ‘Well, you stand right here next to him,’ and she said, ‘Oh, I’m not getting married, she’s getting married.’ He said, ‘I’m not going to marry her.’”
“‘She’s too young,’” June quoted the justice as saying.
June had to call her grandmother, who worked for the telephone company, explain the situation and ask her to confirm her age to the justice.
“Instead of that, her grandmother plugged her into her mother,” Rudy said. “The justice of the peace said, ‘Well, how old is she?’ and she said, ‘She’s 18, but I don’t want her getting married.’ He said, ‘Well, if she’s 18, you don’t have any say in it. She can marry legally.’”
But the Phillips wedding story begins several hour earlier in Canton.
An attack out of nowhere
It was seemingly an ordinary Sunday that morning. Rudy Phillips was working at his father’s automobile sales and repair shop when he heard about the attack. Granted the attacks happened just as the day was beginning in Hawaii, but one has to remember there is a time difference between Hawaii and Georgia.
It was the afternoon in Canton when the attack happened.
“I guess it was about noon,” Rudy said. “Someone told me. I was working and somebody stopped by and said the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, and then when I got home — the radio, that was all the news. That was all they talked about.”
While Rudy was the first to hear about it, June heard about it later, around 5 p.m. She was enjoying dinner — at a honky tonk — with Rudy when she heard the news. She said she had also been working earlier in the day and didn’t recall hearing about it before dinner.
“We were just shocked,” June said. “Everybody was.”
Although Europe had been at war for two years, and the Japanese had invaded China, the United States remained neutral up until that point in World War II. The nation hadn’t been involved in a war since World War I ended in 1918.
For young people like Rudy and June, the U.S. being attacked and thrust into war was a first in their young lifetimes.
“I assumed I’d be at war in a week,” Rudy said. “We hadn’t had a war (since 1918), and we didn’t know what was going to happen and all of a sudden the Japanese attacked us and Roosevelt declared war.”
Rushing to get married
They tried to find a justice of the peace in Marietta, but had no luck.
“They were all closed up,” June said.
They then turned north and headed to Cartersville and woke up a justice to marry them. Once they cleared up the fuss about June’s age, the ceremony was performed.
“He was wearing his pajamas and his robe,” Rudy said of the justice of the peace. “He looked nice.”
June and Rudy stayed the night with the couple who had served as their witnesses before going home the next day.
“He took me home and left me, and then he went home,” June said. “And on the way home — this is how a small town is — one of men standing there said, ‘Hey, married man.’ The word had already gotten out that we’d gotten married.”
Coming home to
family afterward
June’s parents were less than thrilled to hear about their daughter’s nuptials. It wasn’t a complete surprise that Rudy would be joining the family, but it wasn’t expected so soon.
“We were engaged,” June said. “He gave me my ring six months before that, but my mother wanted us to have a wedding.”
“She wanted you to have a wedding with somebody else,” Rudy interjected, prompting laughter from both of them.
It wasn’t as bad as it sounds; June said her parents didn’t dislike Rudy at all.
“(My mom) didn’t think anyone was good enough for me,” she said. “You know how mothers are, and my daddy was furious that we got married. He didn’t want me to. He wanted me to go to work and earn money. They liked Rudy, they had nothing against him. It’s just that they thought we were too young.”
Despite the hard feelings about the couple getting married when they did, June’s parents welcomed Rudy into their family. Her dad began calling Rudy his son, and the new son-in-law went to work for his wife’s father at a sprinkler company.
“He loved Rudy,” June said.
Waiting, and waiting some more, to go to war
Although Rudy did eventually go into the Army Air Corps, it wasn’t as soon after Pearl Harbor as he initially thought. He had time to save up some money while working for June’s father so that his wife, and eventually their son, Jerry, could live comfortably while Rudy was in the military.
He finally went into the service in January 1943, and got sent to Miami Beach for training.
“They took over the hotels, and quartered us in the hotels and we trained and marched on the golf courses,” he said. “We walked guard duty on the beach, and they were sinking so many of our ships (along the Atlantic coastline) that we’d find mattresses and pieces of ships and things like that on the beach every morning.”
Meanwhile, June stayed in Georgia with their son. She moved in with her mother and other family members in Atlanta. She took a job working as a secretary at the Army depot in Forest Park that would eventually become Fort Gillem.
She explained that people on the home front, however, had to use coupons to buy what items weren’t be taken for the war effort.
“Money was not a problem, but materials were the problem,” she said. “You couldn’t buy them. There were a lot of things you couldn’t buy. You couldn’t buy silk stockings, now this is from the woman’s perspective, and food was rationed. Gasoline was rationed.”
After six months in Miami Beach, Rudy was off to Denver, Colo., to train to be the person who fixed guns on planes. He later got sent to Saint Anselm College in New Hampshire to study to become a cadet.
“It was a regular liberal arts course, but we also had training in navigation and things like that,” Rudy said. “We also had some flight time in Piper Cubs, and then I went to Nashville (six months later) for classification.
“They reduced a lot of the cadets at that point because the war was going better and they didn’t think that they would need as many pilots and bombardiers and navigators and so on. So they reduced the program and I was caught in that.”
After he was out of the cadet program, he was sent to Panama City for aerial gunnery school at Tyndall Field. Rudy then became an instructor at the school and spent about a year there.
Meanwhile, June said the uncertainty of whether Rudy was about to be sent off to the war gnawed at her.
“It was terrible because I couldn’t talk to him a lot of the times,” she said. “It wasn’t like you could pick up the phone and call somebody. We didn’t have a telephone in our house. couldn’t get one and we would talk … once a month.”
Rudy said, “A neighbor had a phone, so I would call the neighbor and she would run and get her.”
As the military schools began to close, however, the teachers were sent off to other places around the country to join air crews in preparation for them going overseas to fight in the Pacific.
Rudy was sent to California.
“The war kept getting better, and they kept backing us off,” he said. “When we arrived, they said, ‘Don’t write home, you won’t be here that long.’ This was a classification where they separated and made us crew up and so on. Then they dropped the bomb and that ended the war.”
Ultimately, Rudy was still waiting to be sent off to the war when it ended three and a half years after Pearl Harbor.
No regrets 75 year later
Was it a bad idea to rush to get married in 1941? Not so, according to the couple, who still hold hands when they talk about the night of their marriage ceremony.
Well, there may be a small bit of regret about how it played out though, or a bit of playful teasing depending on how you look at it.
“I wanted to have a wedding,” June said.
“Well, I’m sorry you didn’t have a wedding,” Rudy told her.
“Can we have one now?” June asked as she began laughing.
“If you want to,” Rudy said.
“You may not want to marry me now, I better hang on to you,” June said as the joking continued.
