Graeme Downes of the New Zealand band The Verlaines has a PhD in Musicology, which is a little bit more understandable.
'Get It Done'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Karl Precoda [link] as well.
There aren't a lot of doctor rockers. Whereas there used to be a long tradition of doctor/poets.

Keats! There are a couple of others.
I did not know Keats was a doctor! Too bad he lived in the era before the understanding of bateriology - he could have saved himself!
On a lighter note, this is my favorite new xmas song of the year. A duet between Meatwad & Nico Case: [link]
Oh dear. Nico Case is ruined for me! I'll have to listen to some of her songs that aren't about boogers to correct that....

He was an apprentice surgeon, but I don't think he ever practiced.

See, what I like about it is a) she still sings her heart out, b) the song has a great bridge and c) it's about boogers!
I'm not usually a big ATHF fan, but I love this song!
