Dee Snider: Catalog Sale, Transphobe Slur, and Twisted Sister Reunion

Dee Snider, the frontman of Twisted Sister, explained why he sold his Snidest Music music publishing catalog of 69 songs, including "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock", to Universal Music Publishing Group in 2015. Snider said that selling his catalog was a smart financial decision because he was able to save 30% on taxes and invest the money for his retirement. "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock" are the two most licensed songs of the '80s and have been featured in numerous national commercials, films, television, and the Broadway musical "Rock Of Ages".
