I get excited about Seattlites of our generation who make it big. It's even better when I personally appreciate their talents!
My current list consists of hip hop artist, Macklemore (aka Ben Haggerty), and the web comic author, The Oatmeal (aka Matthew Inman).
I can't help but consider them in the context of other local celebrities though. My dad's generation of Seattlelites includes Bill Gates and Jimi Hendrix. I would posit that, outside of the performing arts (Michael Jackson) and politics (Obama), Bill Gates is the single most globally known living person. Counter suggestions are welcome.
I wonder if anyone from our generation will achieve that level of fame?
