Without a doubt, one of the greatest musicians / poets to call Oklahoma home is Old Wayne Coyne.
Whether he was writing and singing poignant, reflective and brilliantly simplistic musings about the meaning of life, building a spaceship for a Martian art film, or walking around in a giant hamster ball in a gray suit underneath a rain shower of confetti, he was the antithesis of the stereotypical Oklahoma celebrity. He was different – a whimsical and beloved mad scientist who commanded international respect and served as a local hero to every Oklahoman who loathed country music, red dirt and cowboy boots.
