i used to think that everyone on Top Of The Pops I saw always came from the United Kingdom. But then I realised that loads of different popstars come from different countries

on bbc 2 (a TV channel in the UK), there is a man who works on the channel called Michael Jackson! It is scary because I sometimes think that it is the real popstar working on there!

When I Was 3-8 Years Old, I Used To Believe That Michael Jackson Was The Greatest Person On Earth, Because Of His Signature Move; The Moon Walk.

when i bought magazines like The Hits, Top of th Pops or whatever as a child, for the longest time i thought that the government had this lil conspiracy and were recording our every movements. i always thought that the people in the magazines had lil minute cameras in their eyes. i got so freaked out sometimes dat i wudnt get changed in the same room as my magazines. i wud jus walk bak and forth in my room lookin at th magazine in th otha side of th room as if they were 'starin' at me.

I always thought that Slash was the same guy as Ozzy Osbourne.

Ever notice those clear, plastic 'walls' that are placed around drum sets?

Until the age of 12 I thought these were to protect the public from the drummer, should one of his drumsticks go flying.

i use to believe that Elvis and M. jackson were in my shower. i would be scared to use our bathroom because i thought they would jump out at me and kill me by there voices.

I thought that the REM song that has the lyrics in "calling trying to wake her" actually said "calling cheryl Baker" I was totally convinced that REM had made a song about the ex Bucks Fizz singer

I used to listen to oldies on the radio all the time. My favorite artists were the Beach Boys, and I always pictured them as really cool, hip surfers. But then I saw an old clip of them performing in formal wear and I was incredibly disappointed because I thought they were nerds.

Also, I used to have a record player in my room with an Elvis record. I actually thought Elvis was a comedian because I heard the girls screaming and thought they were just laughing really loudly.

i used to think that ozzy osbourne was a hockey player, and i thought michael jackson was a basketball player.

I used to think that Ellis Island was Elvis Presley's own island, or something like that. I used to watch PBS all the time, so in between the kid's programs there would be specials on stuff, and I think there was one on Ellis Island, and then there would be a commercial for Elvis's greatest hits or something, and I associated them. Strange though, as there was two kids in my kindergarten class who's last name was Ellis...don't know why I didn't connect those two.

When I was through the ages of 5-8 I got Marylin Manson and Marilyn Monroe mixed up

I knew that crazy glue was pretty strong. So as my obsession with Stevie Wonder grew as I child, I vowed that when I was old enough, I would shave my head and glue a beaded braid wig on.

When I first read Mandy Moore's biography on the internet, I thought that Mandy Moore's grandfather was Roger Moore.

My Dad was (and still is) a huge Gordon Lightfoot fan, and used to sing along constantly to his tapes and records. He's got a good voice, and would always imitate him while he sang. Because his voice so perfectly matched Gordon's, for the longest time, I used to tell people my dad was Gordon Lightfoot! Not sure if anyone really believed me, but I thought I was cool nonetheless. It never occured to me that they didn't even remotely look alike, and I never stopped to think about why we had different last names. I guess I figured he had separate identities: His public image, and his private one!

When I was little I thought the members in Queen were all woman because of their long hair. This confused me because the voices singing were clearly men. I never believed my brother when he told me they were men. (keep in mind I only saw the band members once, in a music video where they're faces were dark. all i saw was the long hair)
