Ok, I am going to let you hold on to the belief that playing Greatful Dead covers at Frat Parties was considered on the same level as original music... And that building your popularity at the frat houses with cover music from a horrible band was held in the highest creative regards in Athens.... And that in the 80s, down town bars and college radio couldn't get enough of Greatful Dead wannabes.
If anything, the death of the Athens Music scene was the whole hippy jam movement along with bands moving to Athens from God knows where to say they were from Athens and REM becoming super famous.

That's not my belief though. Just giving credit where credit is due....
How many bands have made a lucrative multi-decade career like WSP did without the benefit of radio or MTV or whatever? And without having to work on the side at Best Buy?
Success is against the hipster code though, isn't it?
