Whatever happened ...

try www.thegeorgiasatellites.com . They have 4 dates scheduled from May 17th until mid June. Not very big venues but they are still around.

Before they had their 15 minutes, they were the house band at Hedgens, a real sketchy dive bar in Atlanta (lived there from '80 to '86). Whatever else, I'd bet their brush with mtv has given them the ability to make a living playing music.

That said, Battleship Chains is almost as annoying as Achy Breaky Heart.

When I was probably 9 or so, my cousin and I decided one night that we were starting a band called the "Sighing Satellites", inspired by the name Georgia Satellites. I would play my xylophone and we sang and correographed(sp?). I'm sure we were great. This was only one of several bad ideas concocted on family visits.

But at least you were producing music, rather than consuming it.
That alone makes all the difference, imho.
