josefelipes Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Bill McShane: Basically there is the movie called “That Thing You Do” that came out a while back that is set in the ‘60s. It’s about this young high-school rock ‘n’ roll band that ends up having a hit song and becomes a No. 1 band. The band is called “The Wonders,” and they are from Erie, Pa. There are a couple parts in the movie where they’re like, “Back off, man; I’m from the Erie, Pa.…” I kind of like that idea, kind of like the Beatles – they came from Liverpool, and they made Liverpool famous. So this band in the movie kind of makes Erie, Pa. famous. http://www.eriereader.com/article/qa-with-the-pride-of-erie-pa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stranaspank Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I'm from that area originally and always joke that the biggest celebrity to come out of Erie was a fictional band. And the dude from Train. And Billy Blanks. And me. brianmorgante 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
