which rock star did you go to school with...

went to 30 yr reunion last week, found out a surfing buddy from middle school went on to play bass in a band named "Grotus"...kind of industrial music, toured w/ Korn and NIN. Our biggest export from school was Matt Cameron...drummer for Soundgarden. Way ahead even in his early teens.

The only one I know that I went to school with was Biz Markie. He was in tight with the members of Run DMC so he was cool in my book even if I did not like his music.

I went to the beach with him on Fire Island once and we walked down to the nude beach. He kept walking up to pretty girls and asking for the time. Seemed really funny to us at the time when we were 18. We were eventually told to leave. He was a really funny guy you always laughed when you were with him.

Though long, long after my time, the Jonas Brothers went to my high school (Eastern Christian High School in North Haledon, NJ).

Hey - I'm almost famous!

Not rock stars but several NFL and MLB players.

3 names come to mind: Gene Washington (49'ers), Earl McCullough (Lions) and Dee Andrews (Cowboys).

Wiki says these people also went to my high school, but not when I was there:
Notable alumni include:

* Actress Barbara Britton (Brantingham)
* Spanish Banda singer Jenni Rivera "La Diva de la banda"
* baseball player Chase Utley, [2]
* actress Cameron Diaz, [3]
* tennis player Billie Jean King, [3]
* football player DeSean Jackson, [3]
* rapper Snoop Dogg, [3]
* actor Percy Daggs III[4]
* mountain climber Samantha Larson, [5]
* Major League Baseball umpire Charlie Williams, [6]
* baseball player Milton Bradley, [2]
* baseball player Randy Moffitt, [2]
* baseball player Chris Gwynn, [2]
* baseball player 2007 Hall of Fame inductee Tony Gwynn, [3]
* football player and actor Carl Weathers, [7]
* football player Hershel Dennis, [8]
* football player Mark Carrier, [3]
* football player Darnell Bing, [8]
* football player Marcedes Lewis, [3]
* football player Manuel Wright, [9]
* football player Winston Justice, [3]
* football player Samie Parker, [3]
* football player Willie McGinest, [3]
* football player Omar Stoutmire, [3]
* football player Marquez Pope, [3]
* football player Pago Togafau, [9]
* football player Antoine Cason (attended)
* writer Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston [10]
Note: Moffit is related to Billie Jean (Moffit) King. Yes, she was married for a short time. To a man And she was 2 years ahead of me so I saw her play as a teen many times. Washington and McCullough both took our school to regional championships.

A few sites on the Net state that Long Beach Poly produced more NFL players than any other high school in the nation.
