Jacko and the elephant man

At the time it seemed sick and wrong, but it turns out that collecting celebrity remains would have been a much better hobby than some of the ones he chose. Cheaper too.

[Charles Henrickson]

anyway, it might just be true.

Zep did catch sharks from the window of their hotel, but the pesce in question was actually a red snapper

Oh. Well, that's MUCH better.

That's like Richard Gere insisting it was a HAMSTER, Dammit! NOT a gerbil.

"Mmmm, Red Snapper....very tasty"

Here's another: Kurt Cobain was a musical genius. Or even good.

2: Marilyn Manson starring in 'The Wonder Years'

That's only half the rumour; he's also frequently claimed to be Kevin from 'Mr.Belvedere'.

A similiar rumour surrounded Alice Cooper, who, it was said, was really the guy who played Eddie Haskell on 'Leave it to Beaver' .

I've always hears references to Marianne Faithful and the mars bar but have never seen the story. I doubt seriously I will see it repeated here either if it bears any resemblance to the red snapper story!

The airplane Richie Valens, Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper died in was NOT named "The American Pie", although Don McLean may have written his song of that name about their deaths.

Ann-Margret was NOT a natural redhead. I went to both jr. high and high school with her. BLACK-haired Swedish immigrant Ann-Margret Olsson eventually had that cute chipped front tooth capped. She WAS head cheerleader, though. She starred in several school stage productions, belting out songs like "Heat Wave" so they reverberated off the back of the 2,000?-seat auditorium and sent chills up my spine.

It's like it's written with English words and Roman letters, yet it's not English! God, that commonwealth English is hard to understand!

[Lancey Howard]

Not the most reliable witness - he once claimed he wrote 'Eleanor Rigby'

No he didn't. Even so, Lennon certainly did write some of the song. For example, Lennon came up with a line about "Father McCartney", but Paul got the creeps and changed it to "Father McKenzie". The bulk of the Beatles earlier stuff was genuinely written by both Lennon and McCartney. At least, each usually made some contribution to the other's efforts.

5: Stevie Nicks having cocaine blown up her bum

Don't think I'd ever heard about that one before.

"...Just like a white wing dove

They pumped out a quart of what out out of Rod Stewart's stomach?

[tallhappy]

Richey Edwards lives Ten years on, Richey's disappearance remains imbued with a Lucan-like mythology

Who's Richey Edwards. And what does "Lucan-like" mean? Who or what is Lucan.

And Robert Johnson had nothing to do with rock and roll having died in the 1930's.

English people can be weird.

[Richard Kimball]

Although he mentioned one of them, it was silly to leave the two biggest myths off his list, that Paul is dead and Elvis isn't. There are a couple of web sites that go into the Paul is dead story, and if you read one for a little while, you'll start going "dang, maybe he IS dead."
