As far as music goes, the SEC states dominate. They laid the foundation for American music:

Mississippi: Elvis (and the Blues)
Arkansas: Johnny Cash
Louisiana: Jerry Lee Lewis
Alabama: Hank Williams Sr
Tennessee: Carl Perkins

I've decided the SEC dominates in everything..... The rest of the US should thank us on a daily basis for the talent we provide them.

Psh. Kentucky has Billy Ray Cyrus.

Also, the Judds, Crystal Gayle, Loretta Lynn, Montgomery Gentry, Patty Loveless, Bill Monroe, John Michael Montgomery, Ricky Skaggs, Keith Whitley, and Dwight Yokam.

I fricking hate country music.

Let's not forget REM from Athens Georgia...they practically invented Alternative music.....Elvis, Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, BB King, Al Green....yep The SEC states practicly invented modern music...DOn't try to tell this to a Yankee though ..they won't hear of it... They actually think that the Rock Hall of Fame belongs in Cleveland.

This would make a lot more sense if Kansas was admitted to the union before Arkansas. You gotta step up your game, Pank

Oh, and back to the topic. Bill Clinton.
