I used to believe M.C. Escher was a rapper. Much to my surprise, he was an artist, and died before rap was even invented. I only thought he was a rapper because of "M.C."

When i was really little, like three, i saw Cliff Richard performing on tv. He was wearing a really shiny, sparkling white suit and and for some reason this held so much appeal. So i told my mom that i was going to marry Cliff Richard one day and he would wait for me. I really believed that he would... Good thing the Peter Pan of Pop never aged hey? Needless to say i am still ripped off by my entire family and my boyfriend, 18 years later.

When I was young, I used to believe that singers actually wrote and really meant what they were singing about. That they were singing about their life experiences.

I used to believe that when biggie smalls died his ghost would come and get me. so I would put teddy bears all around my bed to protect me.

none of ur business

When i was a pre-teen i wrote Michael Jackson a really long letter and so carefully worded it so as to entice him to PLEASE come to my house to have dinner with my family and me, and i believed for about a year that it was just a matter of time that he would show up on my doorstep. i really thought he would, and gee, in hindsight i see that he very well could have, given his track record today - and i'm so glad he never did!

I used to think that 'gay' just meant happy and when the teacher asked what I wanted to be when I grew up I replied 'gay' when the teacher asked me what I meant by that I said 'Gay, just like Elton John'

Before I ever saw photos or video of the Beatles and had only heard their songs on the radio, I believed they were all robots, because I never heard intakes of breath when they sang.

When I was 4 years old (before I knew what homosexuality was) I was convinced that Michael Jackson, Boy George, and Prince were all involved in a love triangle with each other. I wasn't sure who liked who or what, but I was so sure that they were all romantically involved with each other.

I believed for quite a long time that Marvin Gaye was blind. We had a 45 rpm record of "I heard it through the Grapevine" with him wearing dark sunglasses on the cover. Glasses were so similar to those Ray Charles wore... So i just assumed Marvin was blind too.

When I was younger, I used to think that Michael Jackson and "The Artist Formally Known as Prince" were the same person, and no one bothered to tell me different!

Shortly after David Soul hit the UK charts many years ago, I started hearing about a new type of music called 'Soul' music.

I didn't like his song, but was impressed that he seemed to have fathered an entire genre.

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 believe the word prima donna meant anytime before "Madonna" was born. Man was I stupid.

I thought that the name of singer "Dinah Shore" was "Dinosauer" and that she must be awfully old.
