I think I have someone new to add or at least bump up WAY more than a few rungs on my hero list...
Dr. Greg Graffin...and yes that's Dr. and yes that's Bad Religion.
"Greg Graffin has a Ph.D. in evolutionary biology and is said to be one of the five leading bone tissue paleontologists in the world. A few years back, Graffin and crew began sponsoring the Bad Religion Research Fund scholarship program for students in the cultural or physical science fields. Graffin personally takes charge of the application review process with the band making final decisions as a whole. Says Graffin, "I feel a sense of pride in being able to support someone's research endeavors. The real reward for the whole band is our being a part of higher education while perpetuating the idea that Bad Religion has always stood forto question the prevailing dogma. It's something you can do in science, the humanities, and in entertainment as well."
SO frikin' cool. Dammit how does one live up to THAT?!?

I always though it was pretty cool that Greg Graffin got to be Dr. Graffin. Didn't know that he was one of the top 5. Wow!
