08/20/2010
. (Gibson) When he speaks from the Pompatous of Love this fall, Steve Miller will be addressing a room full of Trojans. University of Southern California Trojans, to be exact. The Pac 10 school has announced that the Gangster of Love and erstwhile Space Cowboy will teach at the USC Thornton School of Music during the 2010-2011 school year.

Chris Sampson, associate dean of the USC Thornton School of Music, told Newswise, "To say we are thrilled about Steve joining our faculty would be an understatement. This is an amazing opportunity for the students at USC Thornton. Clearly, Steve cares deeply about the next generation of musicians and wants to be a part of their growth. His willingness to share his incredible experience with our students will undoubtedly transform their experience."

It's been a busy year for Miller, who released the critically acclaimed album, BINGO! , in June. The album hit #1 on the Billboard blues chart and #11 on the rock chart. - more on this story
