Also, "Detroit Rock City" is the opener on Destroyer and was written by Bob Erzin.

The Black Panthers first formed in Oakland and so many of their founders were from the city. The hip hop duo the Coup is also from Oakland as is everybody's favorite 80's girl group, the Pointer Sisters. In literature Oakland can lay claim to Jack London and Ezra Pound.
