Cracker's David Lowery Gets Married While Teaching College Class

DavidLoweryMusic.com

In what proves to be one of the more compelling reasons not to skip class, Cracker frontman David Lowery married his longtime significant other -- not to mention, his band's manager -- Velena Vego during a music business class.

According to the AP, the pair tied the knot during a ceremony at the University of Georgia, where Lowery teaches for the music business program. Though the two actually wed a year ago in California, the paperwork was never filed and so the couple made it official on Thursday, Aug. 25, in Athens, Ga.

On top of that, Patterson Hood of Drive-By Truckers served as best man. We're not sure about Lowery's professorial skills, but we're guessing that no students dozed off during that class.

Cracker was an awesome band. Maybe you people complaining about news stories in which you don't know the person the story is about, should expand your "little bubble" some. Or do what I do, research them. You just might learn something new and interesting about someone interesting.

Who the heck is this guy or the Crackers? Why does AOL publish stories about people nobody knows?

So instead of the students learning any thing they had to watch him get married . I hope the collage deducts the time he was supposed to be working from his pay
