Before I had ever heard Andrea Bocelli sing, I thought it was a woman. After I found out it was actually an italian singer I liked his music and bought his cd. When my little brother asked who he was I told him he was a singer and that he was blind, my brother, inocent as he was asked "How does he know what to sing if he can't read the lyrics"

Duh

I used to think the Back Street Boys were black. I also thought Seal was a boy band.

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

When I was about 8, I heard my sister and her friend talk about some rapper who had been shot (probably Tupac). for some weird reason I thought they were talking about Puff Daddy (P. Diddy) and so I thought he was dead. you can immagine my confusion when I heard of P. Diddy a few years later.

when i was little, I used to think the Rolling Stones were black, because Dad listened to them as well as black performers. When I saw a video, I asked every1 if they knew the Stones were white.I didnt realise theyd been around 4 years before I was born....I got strange looks from everyone. a compliment to Mick, Im sure

In the early 1960s there were radio and TV ads for Frank Sinatra concerts. I didn't know who Frank Sinatra was. I thought the ads were saying Frank's in opera. I had only a vague idea what opera was, but I had no idea who this Frank was who was in the opera.

When I first saw Marylin Manson I thought he is a girl
