I thought Percy decided it would be better to go back home to New Orleans and run No Limit Records. I think he owed some people money. U should see the store he had.

Born and bred in London here, so I'm not short of a few names. Mick Jagger and Pete Townshend actually live locally in my suburb though (well, all of The Who are from around my region), and my dad went to school here with Brian May from Queen. [Edited 6/12/07 3:04am] | |

Rosie Gaines
Pete Escovedo Joe Dimaggio the escovedo's were from oakland and moved to alameda, pops was born in Pittsburg. there's some young rapper that came out of there since I have been gone. Eddie Murphy's ex nicole is from Sacramento and so was Ola Ray the girl in the thriller video, Bougeois Tagg is from Sac and so is a rock band that used to be City Kidd they changed their name though to Tesla. I used to see them and the chilli peppers for free in the 80's 
We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry are equal in value no matter what their color. Maya Angelou | |
