I'm not proud of it, but the Achy Breaky Heart guy, Billy Ray Cyrus went to school with my dad. In fact they played football together, and my dad played guitar for his band (black dog or somethingorother) in high school at local bars. I've even been to his parents' house and met his family. There are two or three major (for the area, it's a small town, so major is relative) roads dedicated to him. If you don't know him from his country music days (lucky you), his daughter is Hannah Montana or w/e. There are several other famous country music legends from this area, most I don't know because I dispise country music, but my aunt(dad's sister) went to school with Judds (the older one, and she went to a school in larger city a few minutes away from the school my dad went to). Also George Clooney was raised about 15 minutes from where I live, his mother (I think) still lives there, I've been by the house. I'm about 30 minutes from Marshall Uni(of We Are Marshall! fame), so I saw Randy Moss play in college in person (he sucked in every game I went to, whodathunkit). Also Jesse Stuart, the poet and author, lived and taught about 5 minutes from a house I lived in as a kid. I've been to his grave.
