I'm a very big College Football fan, (Upstream Red Team to anyone else who is) and TiVo every mention of College Football.
On Monday, there was a show on the Travel Channel called "College Football Towns" where they profiled Athens, GA. Did you know, both REM & the B52s were discovered in the same Athens bar??? Neither did I, but the next time my Knights face the Georgia Bulldogs, I'll make sure I get a picture of me in front of the bar where both REM & the B52s were discovered. Actually, because I am a "fountain of useless knowledge", whenever I'm in Atlanta I'll remember there is a bar where both REM & the B52s were discovered. As a matter of fact, I'm willing to bet the next time any of us are in Atlanta, (which is 70 miles away, according to the show) if we ask 10 30-something locals on the streets where REM was "discovered", at least 1 of them would be able to give us the best way to get to that unnamed bar in Athens. Picture yourself on the streets of NYC. Not 5th Ave, but around 20th and First. If you asked 10 40-something locals "Excuse me, can you tell me where Bruce Springsteen plays?" How many would tell you to go to the Stone Pony? How about 40-something locals on Market Street in Philly? Would you concede that there ARE some European tourists wandering around NYC & Philly looking to find Bruce shrines? And that, ladies & gentlemen, is why the Pony should stay exactly where it is, and go on serving $4 bottles, $20 Tshirts, $9 thongs, and charge a $5 fee to use the MAC machine. ------------------------ Yahoo!
