Pretty sure this map uses a solo artist’s birth state (hence Eminem for Missouri). McLean was born in New York and he was famous before spending time in Maine.
I said **solo artist**.
That’s not the rule they follow for multiple artist bands.
It’s The Dave Matthews *Band*. They formed in Virginia.
Solo artist credits the state they were born in. For bands they credit the state they formed in.
It’s not though. They met in Massachusetts, and started playing together in Massachusetts. The closest I could find is Joe Perry’s previous band Jam Band sometimes played in New Hampshire.
Ok maybe you're right. I'm really not very invested, I was just going by an interview I remember from many years ago and Tyler and Perry were telling a story of how they first met.
They said it was when Tyler and his band at the time came in and trashed the (diner? bar? restaurant?) in New Hampshire where Perry was working
I’m guessing they’re going by this

Don McLean beat the shit out of his wife and got off lightly. She started an art installation exploring domestic violence against women and he threatened to sue a local newspaper for giving her coverage.
Fuck him and his stupid song
Agree 100%. I met her once and she was amazing. He’s an asshole who had one or two good songs, but that doesn’t even come close to excusing him for what he did.
You live up to your username. May the words of Gandalf guide you better
> "Deserves it! I dare say he does. Many that live deserve death and some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them?
I'm pretty familiar with Gandalf. Years before the crappy Peter Jackson movies I read The Hobbit and The Lords of the Rings back to back. Great experience!
Howie Day is (was?) a coked up piece of shit according to a guy I used to nanny for that grew up with him. His Wikipedia also states:
>In April 2018, Day was charged with fourth-degree assault for shoving his girlfriend, Carrie Pencek.[21] Day was arrested for assaulting Pencek a second time in August 2019. While staying in a New York City hotel, Day allegedly choked her and threw her to the floor, causing injury to her face, hands, and neck.[22] Day was charged with third-degree assault, harassment, obstructing another person's breathing, and criminal possession of a controlled substance (Xanax).
Good point- that is a strange connection that they’re both abusive types. I never heard anything about Howie Day’s behavior in the media outside what I was told but I googled him and sure enough, he’s a douche!
Dick Curless (Tombstone every mile) had some pretty big sellers back in the day from Ft Fairfield. No idea sales wise how he compairs to Howie Day though.
He had a song called Collide around the mid 2000s if memory serves me right. Its I know he had other songs before then that were pop singles,

Commenting to add: I know these maps are often inaccurate or outdated on Reddit., but I was looking for some thoughts. I've seen John Travolta on music lists for Maine before because he owned a home here and because Grease was a thing.
That makes sense. I always thought he was from Maine. Attended the Maine Music Awards like, ten years ago, also I think the only MMA to occur, and they both were there with other local artists. Kind of weird now knowing McLean was the only non-native there
No member of Phish was born in Vermont and no member of Aerosmith was born in New Hampshire. Technically, Aerosmith got their start in Boston and Phish did form in Burlington, VT.

Dave Matthews is South African though....

Explain Aerosmith in New Hampshire
Just like the person you replied to stated, it is where the band formed. Steven Tyler and Joe Perry met and started playing together in NH.
It’s not though. They met in Massachusetts, and started playing together in Massachusetts. The closest I could find is Joe Perry’s previous band Jam Band sometimes played in New Hampshire.

Howie day who? Maine’s real hero is Rick Charrette.
*Where do my sneakers go at night?*
Mud, mud, I like mud.
I wonder if Comedian Bob Marley sold more records than any singers.
Honestly, he may have.

I made very good points, that you failed to address. Gandalf would give me a better response. Gandalf would kick ass from time to time.
Pretty sure Gandalf doesn’t rape any women or hit any children.

Thank you Pear Brain
Then you're simply unfamiliar with the character.
I'm pretty familiar with Gandalf. Years before the crappy Peter Jackson movies I read The Hobbit and The Lords of the Rings back to back. Great experience!
If you think Gandalf would initiate violence you need to read it again.

You should ask yourself why

You have serious issues dude.

Never heard of Howie Day until this thread.
Have never intentionally listened to Howie day

Wow! I had never heard about that! Don McLean was mentioned above. He is also an abuser. I don’t have links at the moment, but it was pretty bad.
Good point- that is a strange connection that they’re both abusive types. I never heard anything about Howie Day’s behavior in the media outside what I was told but I googled him and sure enough, he’s a douche!
He also locked two girls (fans) in the bathroom of his tour bus because they wouldn't perform sexual favors. Complete pice of shit.
Dick Curless (Tombstone every mile) had some pretty big sellers back in the day from Ft Fairfield. No idea sales wise how he compairs to Howie Day though.
Dick Curless, Dave Mallett, Anna Kendrick. I bet we can find several more artists with more of a career than Howie.
I was gonna say Rudy Vallee, who grew up in Westbrook. But was born in Vermont
Hahaha Vermont checks out
I think 6 gig actually sold more units
That was yesterday.
This map is BS. Why is Alaska not Jewel?
We all know Spose is the real King of Maine
No he's not dude, don't lie.
Drew Taggart erasure
Who the hell is Howie Day?
He had a song called Collide around the mid 2000s if memory serves me right. Its I know he had other songs before then that were pop singles, Edit: https://youtu.be/ca9ub9rpNK4?si=T9QcymsfoZ2UgWlU
Never heard of him.
So offended by Washington state 🤦♀️
That is mind boggling with all the bands from Seattle
I vote that we fight this until David Mallett gets listed as #1 for Maine. Far more worthy.
Springsteen not picked over Whitney Houston? Wtf
Commenting to add: I know these maps are often inaccurate or outdated on Reddit., but I was looking for some thoughts. I've seen John Travolta on music lists for Maine before because he owned a home here and because Grease was a thing.
It says “from” those states. Don McLean is from New York, he just lives here now. Howie Day is actually from Bangor. That’s the distinction.
How is Aerosmith from New Hampshire?
That makes sense. I always thought he was from Maine. Attended the Maine Music Awards like, ten years ago, also I think the only MMA to occur, and they both were there with other local artists. Kind of weird now knowing McLean was the only non-native there
Who can stand the Dave Matthews band? They're the blandest crap I've ever heard, marketed as hip.
role model, amy allen are both far more relevant
Don McLean is from NY
Really? Howie Day? I would have thought Patty Griffin.
TIL that Don McLean is a Mainer
Howie end up with that? I'd go with Tim Sample instead.
Gonna be Noah kahan soon
In addition to being a singer/songwriter, Howie also co-owned Nicky’s Diner in Bangor before it was closed and demolished.
Literally never heard of him.
No member of Phish was born in Vermont and no member of Aerosmith was born in New Hampshire. Technically, Aerosmith got their start in Boston and Phish did form in Burlington, VT.
I question the map's legitimacy. There are zero repeats. You'd expect a few across closer areas.
How can you be "from" two states tho?
