Thanks GoHogsGo, I cant believe I forgot about Cheli.  Might as well throw in Eddie Olcyk (sp?) while we're at it. 
And thanks Avengerfire for the info on Ministry. Actually Al was at the Hawks game last Wednesday against the Ducks at the UC. Have you heard his Blackhawks song "Keys to the City"? Its your classic stadium-beat, infused with a little industrial guitar, its pretty cool. As much as I love "Here Come The Hawks", its nice to have a modern Blackhawks song too.  You can find the song on MySpace (if you have an account). Log into MySpace and go to Music, then enter in "Keys to the City" and you should be able to find it and listen to it. |
I have heard of it. I will check it out. |

Vince Vaughn, actor, Lake Forest High
Alan Benes, former pitcher/St. Louis Cardinals, Lake Forest High
(my brother says these two once fought each other at school, don't know)
Michael Turner, running back/Atlanta Falcons, North Chicago High
Gary Bennett, catcher/Los Angeles Dodgers, Waukegan High
There was a band called 'Local H' from Zion, I believe.
Tamika Catchings, WNBA/Indiana Fever, Stevenson High
Ron Goldman, the guy who was with Nicole Brown Simpson when they were "allegedly" murdered by O.J., was from Stevenson High.
That's all I can remember for my area.
Champaign isn't my area, but wasn't REO Speedwagon from there?
