Home Sweet Home To... A Lot Of Money
-
You know, I always assumed that "Rocky Top" was an old folk song, but it was written in 1967, by Country legends Felice and Boudleaux Bryant, no less. It just SEEMS like the University of Tennessee has used it as an anthem forever. Anyway, it took this long for someone to realize that there's a goldmine to be had by selling merchandise connected to "Rocky Top," and it's a student-led effort licensing the song to sell Rocky Top t-shirts and hats. The Bryant estate and the school will make the money. They will make a LOT of money. (Knoxville News-Sentinel; Thanks to Frank Murphy at WWST (Star 102.1)/Knoxville for the link)
