Sharing a name with another famous individual has been a common analogy in the world of pop culture. In Part I of the segment, I'll share you some of the famous individuals who share a name.
Who is Michael Jackson?
We all know who Michael Jackson is. He is the singer whose signature moonwalk, his successful 'Thriller' album, and even the transition from black to white (vitiligo) were well-documented. But following his death in June 2009, several of his fans started placing flowers and condolence messages on the Walk of Fame star of another Michael Jackson, after the singer's star was fully filled with flowers. The other Michael Jackson was honored for his radio contributions in the Los Angeles area, and to this day continues to host a radio show covering various political and social issues. A third Michael Jackson, though not-so famous, played in the NBA for the Sacramento Kings for a brief time.
Who is Kevin McHale?
One Kevin McHale starred on the hit comedy musical 'Glee'. The other Kevin McHale is a basketball Hall of Famer best known for torturing opponents in the low post with a vast array of athletic moves as a member of the Boston Celtics. He now coaches the Houston Rockets and formerly coached the Minnesota Timberwolves, as well as provided analysis on TNT and NBA TV.
Who is Brian Wilson?
One Brian Wilson used to sing for the Beach Boys along with his brothers Carl and Dennis Wilson. He is the father of Wendy and Carnie Wilson (of Wilson Phillips fame), and had a number of great hits such as 'Surfin', 'Kokomo' and 'I Get Around.' The other Brian Wilson is the flamboyant baseball closer for the San Francisco Giants, whose beard has been garnering attention more than his pitches.
More on who's who coming soon.
