theres still lots of music, you just have to be 18+ to get into the shows.

how does the music scene in athens today compare to it back when this video was made? is it still just as good? worse? better?

Wow. UGA 1968-72 and was back 81-85. What a place and what a time. Seems like yesterday. I still go back every chance I get and it is still a very special place

Dexter lived in Athens for quite awhile. Some classic stories of his "existance" there can be found if you look hard enough. Suffice it to say it took a steel stomach and affinity for grime to roll the way D.R. did it back in the day.
