I used to live near where John Goodman went to high school (Affton, MO) and I now go to his alma mater (assuming he graduated lol)
Bill Mueller, of the Boston Red Sox, also went here back in the early '90s

Let's see here... Roy Orbison grew up here, in Vernon. Bowling for Soup started in Wichita Falls, which is about 45 minutes west of here. That's all I can think of. I met Kelly Clarkson, though; she graduated with my cousin in Burleson, TX a few years ago; I guess it was about 3 or 4?

Bands from my area (Murrieta, CA):
Well... New Found Glory guys live 5 minutes away from me, Finch went to my high school's (Murrieta Valley) rival school Temecula Valley. Lindsey Davenport went to my high school... a while before me though. I also grew up in San Diego... but there's so many people that have gone on to do famous things from that city. But in Murrieta (an hour north of S.D.) there were a few people. |
