BTW-Garth Brook's mother lives in Edmond.
Don't forget Wayva the hearing aid queen!

Wayva - lol

Ohhh that reminds me of the screeching lady who Buys Houses no matter what the situation .. ' is your neighbor's cat humping your dog? We'll buy your house!" lol... she's hardly a celebrity but the hearing aid lady reminded me once again how much I loathe her and her whiny voice combined with her new 'cast' of aspiring actors who sound nearly as bad as she does.. which is pretty hard to believe.

That's true she mentioned no athletes in addition to that live here or visit frequently. Most mentioned don't live here or don't even frequently visit. Many others are athletes. So our list would almost be nill if you don't count athletes, sports figures, or those who don't live here. The only one I can think of is Wayne Coyne then. Possibly John Paul Merrit if you consider him a celeb. The next closest after that would be Toby Keith (Norman, but close enough to OKC). So in summary our list is greatly shortened.

one of the hottest rock bands right now, hinder, they are from the city.

Good call fromdust. Totally forgot to mention them.

He grew up at Northwest Baptist, and is still a member, although he is pretty much booked with speaking engagements, so we don't see him much.

Cool, I love Hinder! Well, a couple of their songs.
I also love Megan...shame about her show, but I didn't like it either.
I figured there would be a lot of country music people! I knew about Garth/Trisha and Carrie.

And it's okay about all the athletes. A celebrity is a celebrity!

Karried, you must live in a nice neighborhood! Don't *ball stars live in mansions??

Oh I know that, I was teasing Metro... pulling his chain and kidding around with him...

Actually, Chris Paul lives in a very modest home in Edmond. It is a very nice area though but I was surprised also that he lived in a neighborhood of starter homes.

Not trying to be morbid here, but she died of cancer in 1999.

And she was a singer herself. I found this:

Garth Brooks > Biography at MyStrands

"Brooks' mother, country singer Colleen Carroll, appeared on the Ozark Jubilee and recorded for Capitol Records."

I also didn't know that Garth's first name is actually Troyal.
