In the spirit of the first Capital Gang thread, here's a thread of people who share their last names with capitals of U.S. states.

(I'm not counting folks the cities where named after, hence the absence of Sir Walter Raleigh, who was such a stupid git!

)

John Hartford (country singer)
Jack Boston (NYC radio sportscaster)
Chris Columbus (movie director)
Michael Jackson
Dusty Springfield
Elizabeth Montgomery
Sherry Lansing (film producer)
Denise Austin
Abbey Lincoln
John Denver
Melvin Salt Lake City (JUST KIDDING!!!!!!!)
Joaquin Phoenix
Eddie Honolulu (see Melvin Salt Lake City)

Don't forget the obvious examples: gold prospector Joe Juneau and the city that is named after him.

Also don't forget one of the most important people in Christianity, the apostle St. Paul.
