music: pop stars

I use to believe that Geddy Lee was a woman...I mean, who didn't? In my mind he looked like Melissa Ethridge.

Well, I COULDN'T BELIEVE that the Beatles were from another country. It seemed so odd that another country existed. And then I found out that my favorite band did DRUGS! Didn't they have D.A.R.E. But I kept on listening and my world expanded

I think I must've been about 7 or 8 when my Mom told me that pop stars were regular people. To this day, I still laugh whenever I conjure up images of pop stars waking up in the morning saying, "hey, we need groceries!"

I used to believe that Brian May of Queen was the presenter of "Magpie" (he wasn't - it was lookey-likey Mick Robertson).

I also used to believe that the voice from inside the radio was a person actually in there and I remember trying to squint through the lit-up dial and see them. (It was a big radio, OK?!)

I have only found out last week from my boss in work that spinal tap was never a band it was a spoof film. So it just shows that at 36 years of age we can still be fooled with things " i used to believe " not just children..

I was born in 1960 and I believed my father was Elvis Presley (he was thin with black hair and he was cool), one day I heard Elvis on the radio and said "there you are" and after some explaining on what I meant, everyone laughed at me and my feelings were hurt but my dad is still cool.

When I was younger my dad told me that you had to like The Beatles to be an american (even though I knew they were not american). For a long time I thought it was the law to like The Beatles. I was even nicknamed (and I'm still called) Abbey- after the Abbey Road album!

My sister used to think that a line from the song "Say Say Say" by Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson, was "Say, say say what you want, but don't play games with my erection(affection)"

I used to think that the posters on my wall were watching me at night. I used to hide under the covers and peep out to see if any of them had moved. I wish the Kylie one did

My two children (ages 13 and 10) absolutely refuse to believe that Michael Jackson was ever dark skinned. I've shown pictures from my old Jackson Five albums, and they still don't believe me.

I used to listen to the back to the future soundtrack. The second track was called, "The Bomb Town," and was by Lindsey Buckingham. I thought she was some pop singer of the 80s. The voice also made me think the same, but after a few years, I saw the movie "Vacation," and the song "Holiday Road" was also by Lindsey Buckingham. I figured it was the same woman. Later I heard she was married to Stevie Nicks, but then I fianlly figured it out...

Lindsey Buckingham was the guitar player for Fleetwood Mac, and HE was married to the singer, SHE was Stevie Nicks.

My Sister still believes [at 22]that Alice cooper and Marti Pellow are women

I used to think Sid Vicious was a comic book caracter.I saw him on posters and t-shirts everywhere.But only in low quality black-and-white.I also used to think that he was really scary and really cute.

Came home to see my brother watching that old Midnight Music show. I asked him who was hosting and he said "Alice Cooper but I haven't seen her yet." I look at the TV and there's Alice and I said that is Alice Cooper. Freaked him out big-time.

When I was younger, I used to think that when the radio played a song, that the performer was in the studio. I wondered how all of those people fit in there.

I used to think that Terry Hall of 'The Specials' went away for a bit and then came back as Robert Smith of 'The Cure'
