Reply to comment by Daxty in I am new to Springfield, Mo. Who is the most famous musician from here, past or present? by covfefe_cove

For real Jack Black is from here?

No, but his fictional backstory is that he’s from the small town of Kickapoo Mo. Which is actually a high school here. I’ve always guessed he saw the name Kickapoo High School and assumed it must be a town.

If we're talking about fiction, then there's Francis Dolarhyde.

I know people from Kickapoo (the H.S. not the fictional town)
