Knoxville, TN is sort of near Nashville, which is called the "Country Music Capital of the World" or something like that. Yee-haw.

Ditto.
We're not known for much, although we do have the pathetic landmark known as the "Sun Sphere." It's basically a "giant" (and I'm using that term loosely) golden ball sitting on top of an ugly green tower. The whole thing isn't even as tall as some of the ghetto apartments that surround it. Pathetic.
Quentin Tarintino is from Knoxville.
A band called Superdrag is also from Knoxville. We were mentioned on MTV for the fifteen minutes they had a hit song in circulation. Woo.
More recently, a no-talent hack going by the name of Johnny Knoxville made a show called "Jackass," and yes, he actually is from Knoxville.
