I have frequently been surprised by how many recording artists were from Detroit, or had some childhood connection to Detroit. I guess I knew that Bill Haley grew up in Highland Park, but I was more interested to see that Klaus Fluoride of the Dead Kennedys was from Detroit, as was Lene Lovich. M

My favorite working actor from Detroit is JK Simmons, aka J. Jonah Jameson in the Spider-Man movies.
