Nationally Famous Locals/Bands etc. Who Hang Out Locally

Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, Bob Seger.. but primarily our own sports stars: All the Red Wings are all over the place all the time including retired Red Wing, Chris Chelios, who owns a couple restaurants. Tim Allen is around a bit.. and Motown folks like Aretha Franklin.

At one time, everybody I knew who flew to Chicago saw Sinbad at the airport, but that was probably 15 years ago or more.

Ty Stone is a national talent (he sings Downriver that's been played on WRIF a couple times) who is great friends with Kid Rock. Don't know if he would count but he's fro Lincoln Park. He has a local band here with Doop & The Inside Outlaws. I know a couple people in it.

Included in one of the Red Wings is Budd Lynch, the radio voice of the Wings and former player. Nicest guy and I worked with him a bit on a celebrity golf outing he does for The Guidance Center (a psychological/mentoring/etc facility).

That's the cool thing about Detroit. Most native Detroiters stay loyal to the city (except Madonnacoughcough)

We see Pat Green around Fort Worth when he's not touring. He seems to frequent the same burger joints that are popular with the local crowd.

(Then again, I'm used to seeing Pat around since he was on the local Greek scene back when I was in college. To me, he's just another of the Tech fraternity guys!)
