That's kind of like LSU fans recognizing Carville as a famous alumnus.

He attended Auburn, but never graduated. Grew up a Tide fan from what I understand.

He actually plays a mean harmonica, and has some soul believe it or not. I've seen him come out with the Allman Brothers and Widespread Panic before, and he didnt sound bad at all. Also, i heard he is a pretty cool guy.

Like I said. Both of those guys went to Auburn but did not graduate. Buffett did graduate from USM after attending AU
