What other Michigan acts are we forgetting, other than Madonna and Suzi Quattro? Glen Frey was from Michigan, but the rest of the Eagles were not, so he doesn’t count. Decades ago, when I was an assistant prosecutor in Battle Creek, MI, I prosecuted the son of a member of one of the acts referenced above. I’ll leave it to you to guess who (no pun intended, OK, yes it was). The sins of the son are not the sins of the parent. Also, I prosecuted Terrible Ted for speeding. His attorney was named Weed. The attorney offered me a T-shirt. I explained the impropriety of the offer under the circumstances, which saved me from having to admit I didn’t want one under any circumstances. Years later Ted sued Weed over some disagreement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
