Pardon Him While He Learns

by Andrew Martin | July 16, 2008 at 5:42 pm

Harvard University, which I guess is a college in Massachusetts, is continuing its proud tradition of accepting dubiously qualified celebrities and musicians into its ranks. Following in the (significantly bigger) footsteps of Tom Morello, Rivers Cuomo and Natalie Portman is guitarist Mike Einziger of mediocre rockish band Incubus. Incubus is that band on the radio that sounds like other bands on the radio. The acoustic K-ROCK version of "Pardon Me" kicks ass though. Congrats to Mike and to everyone at Harvard, who will hopefully be treated to many years of very boring concerts.

This leads me to wonder: which musician or band would YOU most like to have attend your Ivy League school? Most creative answer wins an IvyGate gift certificate!

    Snoop Dogg would be a welcome addition to any Ivy League a cappella group.

    Milli Vanilli!

    They duped the Recording Academy into giving them a Grammy. I’m sure they could fabricate a résumé well enough to dupe Penn Admissions… It shouldn’t be too hard.

    I’m sure the Princeton administration would gladly admit Vanilla Ice to the University as long as he continued attempting to burn down the eating clubs.

    I would say Dr. Dre, but with a phd, he’s probably more appropriate as a professor

    @ Tully and crunknellian:

    Maybe I’m reading into your statement too much, but I have a feeling some type of attraction to Ms. Cyrus is implied? Am I right?

    If so, here’s some “material” for you: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=miley%20controversy%20vanity%20fair&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi

    einziger is getting a bit of a reputation on campus for aggressively pursuing freshman asian girls… i guess the yellow fever is a nerdy rock star requirement.
