Because Greg Graffin and his index finger have a PhD in biology...
And Milo Aukerman has a PhD in biochemistry.
And Dexter Holland was a PhD candidate before the Offspring hit big in 1994.
The only famous country singer with anything better than a Bachelor's degree is...
Garth Brooks, with a Master's in Advertising and Marketing. Pop Country of the 90s makes a lot more sense now, doesn't it?

There is a great WRC compilation video from about 2005 using the Bad Religion song. I'll see if I can cook it up.

I don't think there would be the current market for country without Garth, stadiums and country pop. As I tell people, my and country music part ways about 1980...

Here it is.
You also forgot to mention that Brian May from Queen as an astrophysicist. You should read about the story of stomp-stomp-clap from 'We Will Rock You' sometime. Only a mathematician.

Maybe before then. There was a lot of "disco country" in the mid-late '70s. At least the '80s saw George Strait emerge onto the scene.

There's another rally video with Rush-working them angels that's pretty good.
