pop stars

I used to believe that Marilyn Manson and Marilyn Monroe were the same person.

Until I was 13, I thought Nikki Sixx was a girl.

When I was little, I would occasionally hear my dad talking about Led Zeppelin. For years I believed Led Zeppelin was a person, not a band. Looks like I’m not the only one who believed that!

When I was 9 I thought my dad used to be one of the beatles, because he played their music all the time. Kind of sad when I found out he wasn't; one of my friends told me they live(d) in England, and I lived in Holland.

Weer een Illusie armer!

I remember the first time I witnessed seeing Michael Jackson was in his music video for Free Willy. And, he being Michael Jackson, I could not figure out whether it was a man or a woman singing. What with his long hair, tight pants and high nasal voice...
I was absolutely astounded when my sister told me he was a man. To tell you the truth, I would have been astounded if she told me he was a woman. He looked damn nasty either way!

Emotionally Traumatized

i used to think that the band members of Slipknot were monsters! i always dreamt that they were going to eat me so i used to roll over to my sister's bed for comfort!

i love slipknot!!!

our headmistress once told us that elvis presley was always called elvis pelvis cause he always shaked his hips whenever he performed. i always used to think that when he was little!

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.

na na na na na baaaatmaaaan

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.

Julie

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

Debbie

when I was 4 or 5 I thought That elvis was my dad because he had sude burns and elvis hair and he was (and still is) fat I used to crie when people said elvis died

crazy boy

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.
