UNT’s most famous alumni

Denton, Texas is famous for a few things…

It’s home to the University of North Texas, one of the premier music schools in the nation. . .

. . .Whose nickname is the “Mean Green” after their most distinguished alum — Charles Edward “Mean Joe” Greene — the menacing defensive tackle from the Pittsburg Steelers “Steel Curtain” defense of the early 70’s. . .

. . . And whose mascot, the “Eagle” also served as the inspiration for the name of a certain California-based band founded in the 1970’s (thanks to another alum – Don Henley.)

(Seems the 70’s was a busy decade for UNT.)

And finally. . .

It’s the home of my nephew Joe, percussion major and soon to be music entrepreneur.

Joey recently traded up in his living accommodations so we drove up to see him and check it out.

A short road trip, traffic jam at Wal-Mart, and general hilarity ensued.

(You probably had to be there…)
