In what might just be the single coolest news story I've heard all week, an interview over at Jambands.com with none other than Butch Trucks, drummer for the legendary Allman Brothers Band, has the music legend revealing that he has a level-60 Paladin in WoW, and he even reveals his character name & server (which he probably felt safe doing in an interview on a music site, but for the sake of his gameplaying peace, I won't repeat here).

Trucks (whom I actually met at a concert in Nashville years ago & who did not at all strike me as the type of guy to enjoy a game of Pac-Man, much less WoW) claims that gaming is the new way that he relaxes & whittles away his off-time while on tour.  In other words, WoW is the new rockstar addiction of choice...at least on the Allman's tour bus.

And is it just me, or do the Furbolgs kind of look like Gregg Allman circa '75 or so?
