When I was a kid, I heard my parents talking about Madonna as a bad influence, coz kids would want to be like her if they saw her or listen to her music. Everytime she appeared on the telly or sang on the radio I ran away, afraid to someday start to wear ladies underpants and act like a woman.

others believed things like this

- I used to believe that if you had an animal listen to classical music, it'd eventually learn how to talk.Anon
