Ten College Classes Inspired by Rocker Steve Miller's Academic Aspirations
This morning, the USC Thornton School of Music announced that Steve Miller -- he of Steve Miller Band fame -- would be teaching there during the 2010-2011 school year. According to a press release, Miller will be an "artist in residence" who will "work on a regular basis with undergraduate students in the Popular Music and Music Industry programs. He will hold master classes and pass along his wisdom and knowledge to a new generation of professional musicians."
After reading this, A to Z started thinking: What would the title of Miller's first class have to be? Why, of course it's this:
Space Cowboys 101: The Art of Being a Gangster of Love
Miller's not the only talented musician ripe for academia's hallowed halls, though. Below, some other classes we wish other famous artists would teach.
