Maybe the song was a hit because they had a little Louisiana Ragin Cajun mojo on their side after Daryl Hall wore what appears to be a USL t-shirt for the cover of "Maneater".
He was simply known to fellow hikers as Mostly Harmless or Denim, but as Facebook sleuths and the hiking community dug deeper, they discovered a checkered past...and that checkered past led to South Louisiana.
In the 1960s, USL Men's Basketball coach Beryl Shipley stepped out in a big way against the South's unspoken rules on athletic integration. Losing was just not something Shipley was OK with, and he did everything he felt he could to be a winner. The story is being made into a documentary called "Lights Out In Blackham" and it looks absolutely amazing.
