We all know that Eminem and Kid Rock are from Detroit, but did you know that the following celebrities were also born in Detroit?
Casey Kasem - American Top 40
Tom Selleck - Magnum P.I.
Sonny Bono - Sonny and Cher
Francis Ford Coppola - Movie Director
Ed McMahon - Sidekick to Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show
Smokey Robinson - Motown artist
Alice Cooper - Heavy metal rocker
Ted Nugent - Rock artist
The inspiration for this post was a blog on Eminem that I stumbled upon from a woman in France. It is interesting to see how this single mother of two, far away, has been so impacted by Eminem. I tried to find other fan blogs on the other Detroit-born celebrities, could not find any as comprehensive as hers. Give her blog "Marshall313" a visit… http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/ESLI2146/ . She is part of a website forum called http://detroitrap.com/. Detroit rap definitely deserves some attention and this site seems to be a great place to go to catch up on the local rap scene.
Late addition... Here is another Eminem blog which looks very nice as well... http://www.theeminemblog.com/
