Have you ever heard of Billy Connolly?

[mugsy]

catland, I recognize a few of those names as Civil War generals! lol

[catland]

I didn't know that! Thanks for sharing.

[mugsy]

It may be senators too, but I'm not sure...I'll have to go check my Civil War book and see.

Your a star Paul, thanks for that. Great link.

Other famous Glasgow and Scottish people are:

LuLu, who sang 'you make me want to shout' in the 60's. Robbie Cultrane, actor and comedian, Sean Connory from the bond movies. Also a Scottish person invented penicillian, the television (John Logie Baird) and I think a Scottish person invented electricity but dont quote me on that one.

The Bay City Rollers where form Glasgow, Elvis also had Scottish roots, the band Texas are from Glasgow, also the lovely Ewan Mcgregor then of course theres ME! Only kidding.

Heather, the Bay City Rollers were from Edinburgh weren't they?

I think one or two where from Glasgow, but correct me if I'm wrong.

Now, Heather, remember I'm drawing on HOW many years ago?? lol I used to be a HUGE BCR fan. I was in love with Leslie and Eric! lol And I had friends who were in love with every other member! lol I thought they were all from Edinburgh, but then, I could be wrong. I know when they got Ian something or another, he was from Ireland, but that's as far as it goes! God, I'm OLD!

Dear Mugsy, yes you are probably right, i do apologise. They are from scotland anyway! I was born in 75, so I am no authority on the subject.

Can I ask, do you look back and cringe that you where a BCR fan or do you look back with fond memories?

Mugsy, just found this photo of me when I was about 3 yrs old, thats my aunt with me.

I am wearing something else that is famous in scotland. The kilt!

[mugsy]

Heather,

Kind of both. I actually wore those hideous shin length pants with the plaid bottoms and sides and the striped socks....It's pretty scary!! lol

Did you have a tartan scarf?

[lovemymaltese]

I am from Warner Robins Georgia-- the home of Boobie Eakes (from the Bold and the Beautiful) and Victoria Principle.

[mugsy]

That picture of you in the kilt is just too cute!!

I can't remember if I had the scarf or not, but I would think that I did. Now, that's a scary thought!!

Florida? Well, Jimmy Buffet...

From Detroit and/or suburbs of:
ME!
Madonna
Kid Rock
Gilda Radner
Alice Cooper
and Bob Seger. My aunt actually went on a blind date with Bob Seger. She and her friend had double dates, and my aunt was hooked up with Bob Seger, before he was famous, of course. He was such a total jerk that my aunt pretended like she was going to go to the bathroom and she walked out on him.

He was certain that he was going to "score" with my aunt that he was not at all shy about sharing his thoughts with my aunt and her friend and her friends date. Needless to say he didn't "score" with my aunt
