It has long been argued over which of those two God-awful southern states
is more salvageable:


MISSISSIPPI or ALABAMA?


It's always been over politics and what not, but rarely has it been over
pop culture relevancy.
So here before our eyes today we have the solution.
These are all the pop music icons who claim that they came from either
MISSISSIPPI or ALABAMA.

For now, we're gonna stick with pop music figures who had an impact anytime up thru 1980
and whose either last names or name of band begins with A-F.
So whattaya say - let's boogie!

MISSISSIPPI * * * ALABAMA
