In The Simpsons episode "Homer vs. the Eighteenth Amendment", Springfield becomes a dry town after a disastrous Saint Patrick's Day parade and Homer becomes a bootlegger in a parody of Al Capone. The B-52s' 1989 album Cosmic Thing features a song called "Dry County", which is mainly about not having a lot to do in one. Georgia, which has 159 counties (more than any other state but Texas), is the band's home state and does still have 5 dry counties, although Athens-Clarke County is not one of them. On Rascal Flatts 2002 album, Melt, it features the song "Dry County Girl." Throughout the song, the lyrics allude to a dry county. For instance, "Her lips won't touch the demon wine, But her eyes are full of pure moonshine, And I get drunk just holding her hand, I get high thinking I could be her man."
