I was actually on that flight and had a chance to talk with him. Found out he's a regular FT contributor, including this forum. Must be the residual effect of Up in the Air.

Country Music
I voluteer for a little festival we have in our town. I have picked up, or had someone pick up quite a few country music artists. Most of the groups we have picked up have flown SW. We have had... Josh Gracin, Keith Anderson Gary Allen, LoneStar, Darryl Worley, Jimmy Wayne, Chris Young, Love & Theft, Jason Micheal Carrol and a whole bunch of others. Every year we have a 3 day festival with 4 acts a day, so there are a whole bunch more, but I can't think right now!

ZZ Top
Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top on AUS - HOU last night. First time to ever see a celebrity flying. Noticed him pre-board and saw him sitting at the very back when we got on. Pretty smart to pre-board as not many people even noticed him, even though he is very recognizable with the beard.

Tony La Russa was on my flight this morning OAK-PHX. He was in front of me in Business Select.

Adam Carolla has mentioned that TMZ always seems to be at BUR when he's there so I'd guess there's a decent amount of celebs in and out of there on 1 hour flights.

Marv Levy
Former coach, general manager and Pro Football Hall of Famer, Marv Levy on WN 199 ONT-MDW on Sun, Jan 29th. He was carrying a pigskin briefcase with the NFL logo on it. Marv was looking quite good for his age of 86.
