I think the chick from Evanescence went to Arkansas. I know for a fact she was born and raised in the state.

Dumb bastard kept losing gigs in Auburn because he couldn't stay sober enough to keep from falling off bar stools while playing. I always liked Posey better anyways.

I went to PA in Little Rock with her during high school.

She did not go to Arkansas. She spent like one semester at a liberal arts school then dropped out to work on Evanescence full time.

REM are from Athens... not sure if they went to school there.

Most of the guys in Panic went to UGA... JoJo, the keys player went to Ole Miss.

Taylor Hicks is a quality human being. I raged with that dude a few nights at the old booth in T-town... back when he wouldn't wear shoes on stage and would jump from amp to amp whaling on the mouth harp. He enjoys a good party to put it mildly.

UT has had nine Astronauts, I may be wrong but I believe that is the second most of any public school in the US.

No one asked how many astronauts were from SEC schools. Unless the Astronauts are a band, who cares?

I doubt any SEC town can really outdo Athens.

REM
B-52s
Widespread Panic
Indigo Girls
Georgia Satellites
Bubba Sparxxx
Drive By Truckers
John Berry

Not all went to UGA or are originally from Athens (Indigo Girls are from Decatur) but they came out of the Athens music scene.
