List of People From Michigan
So many cool people are from Michigan! Some of my favorites are:

William Boeing (Boeing Airplanes)
Jimmy Hoffa
More musicians than you can shake a stick at! (Seriously, more than I can name! Motown, Jazz, Blues, Rock, Garage, Rap, R&B, If you like music at all, you probably like a musician from Michigan)
The Temptations
Stevie Wonder
Aretha Franklin
Smokey Robinson
Diana Ross
Alice Cooper
Eminem (sorry)
Kid Rock
Madonna
MC5
Grand Funk Railroad
The Stooges
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
The White Stripes
Tim Allen
Joe Louis (Boxer)
President Gerald Ford and his wife, Betty
Thomas Edison (lived here, wasn't born here)
Elijah McCoy (the real McCoy)
Rosa Parks
Malcom X
Geoff Johns
Charles Lindbergh
Casey Kasem
Ed McMahon
Francis Ford Coppola
Michael Moore
Sam Raimi
Steven Seagal
Tom Selleck
Henry Ford

And Keep in mind, this is a very small section of the list!

 

[Josephine]

Somehow, I think Virginia will come out on top on this contest.

The Commonwealth is known as the Mother of Presidents (popped out 8!). Though with the way some Presidents have acted, I'm not so sure I would want to take responsibility for birthin' them. lol

How does this work? Sam Houston was born and raised in Virginia, but I'm sure Texas claims him...

 

[Dr Doran]

Some of these people on some of these lists are pretty obscure. As in, barely famous outside of their state and to a few aficionados of race car driving, underwater basket weaving stars or artificial-Christmas-tree-manufacturing giants.
