    He's from Sacremento though. Population of nearly 500,000. They have their own NBA team for christ's sake.

    Marlon Brando and Tom Morello are both from my town (population of 21,000). Brando drove his motorcycle through the halls of our High School and got expelled. Morello supposedly still lives in a small house in town. I hear he's a pretty quiet guy and keeps to himself. There's other not worth mentioning pro athletes and the like but those two take the cake.

    On a lesser note, I think Cheri Oteri is from Upper Darby also. Not sure if she went to High School there, though.

    lol i think your local high school team could take our sacramento kings. we were last competitive in the Webber era and before that who knows... and the 500k is just the inner city. the county exceeds a million

    this is definitely pretty cool. read an interview with Morello, definitely sounds like a guy that keeps to himself. went to harvard..., and he got kicked out of his first band not for his [awesome] musicianship but because his hair "wasn't cool enough" ... and he does/did a lot of charity too

    hmmm should've made my 500th post more memorable...
