A guy named Robert Harrison has had quite a successful musical career, most notably with his band, "Cotton Mather". He's been based out of Austin, Texas for some time... seems to be where he has landed to stay.
But, very early in his young adult life he and his girlfriend spent some time in Athens. This was in the 1980s. I'll not elaborate because this article tells the story. The article also tells of his writing a song called "40 Watt Solution", concerning his experiences at the 40 Watt club, in Athens.
So you think you got
40 watt solution
From the cattleman's rally
To a weekend in the Valley of the Dolls
And you're raising up the victory flag
But not the cause
Turn me on today
40 watt solution
It's a bitter state secret
That someone wrote down
And forgot what it was
The commission that determines those things
Is stoned of course
40 watt solution
To illuminate the tent of wasps
And send the whole nest reeling
40 watt solution
To enlighten a girl (who) wouldn't hurt my feelings
Villa Vargo's gone
Written off with Houston
So we're putting our vengeance
In the shadow of another time zone's fall
When the current hits your filament, man
We'll blow your bulb
