I lived briefly in Mississippi (Hensen's birth state). Something that always struck me about famous Mississippians is that they got the hell out and never came back.
After living there, I can't blame them at all. When my wife and I finally escaped Mississippi, we stopped our car at the state line, got out, and kicked the Mississippi dirt off of our shoes.
Other native Mississippians who got the hell out include:
Oprah
Morgan Freeman
Will Clark
Jim Dye
Robert Johnson
Howlin' Wolf
Lance Bass
etc, etc, etc.
