    I just saw Jerry Jeff Walker with his son Django on Imus in the Morning. Django attends an arts school in Liverpool owned by Paul McCartney. He's also 6'5" and plays semi-pro basketball over there! We'll need a new 3 in 5 or 6 years....

    Anyway, he has just released his first album. I think it is called "Texas on My Mind."

    Weird story about that song, my freinds parents were in England when that album came out, they had no clue what or who he was. They saw a billboard with a map on it, one of the directions said Texas, and another one said Hell, ( another one of his songs was "The Road to Hell". Of coarse it was a ad for the Album, they were trying to figure out what hell and Texas were doing on a map.

    It seems like every other country music song either mentions Texas or drinking in it.

    This is true.

    That would make a good SAT question.

    back to the subject:
    the Toadies, the Butthole Surfers, Drowning Pool, Pantera & ZZ Top are all from Texas that I know of - off the top of my head

    Also there's The Union Underground with a song called "South Texas Death Ride" - They're from San Antonio
