pop stars

When I was a kid my mum had an old stereo which looked like a wooden cupboard, When we put on old vinyls she always told us to close the front. I believed that when the music was playing the band appeared on top of the record and started to play. So many times I tried to take a peek but as I opened the door they would disappear because they were shy, thats why they made records and weren't on tv, while the other bands that were on tv didn't make records.

This isn't my belief, but a friend's. A few days ago (I'm 10), I was testing some classmates of mine on pop culture (Doctor Who, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, ect.) and mentioned that I knew the names of the Beatles at an early age (John, Paul, George, and Ringo). He then claimed he thought there were 5 members. Then he asked something horrifying, "The Beatles, aren't they B-5?". I assumed that B-5 was a modern boy band and that my friend had thought that "The Beatles" was some sort of nickname for them. My dad (the man responsible for my pop culture I. Q.) confirmed my fears. Let this be a lesson to fathers everywhere, educate your children about pop culture before their friends put the misunderstandings on this site!

I used to believe that the guys from KISS wore their make-up and garb 24/7. Gene would pop off down the shops poking out his tongue and spitting blood. I was so disappointed when I realised it was just a hook to sell records and merch.

I used to think that all songs that played on television were pop songs.

So one time when I was chatting on Yahoo Messenger, this person mentioned Puddle of Mudd and told them there's a pop band called Puddle Of Mudd. My brother then corrected me by saying that Puddle of Mudd is a ROCK band.

I grew up in Florida, and when I heard people talk about Jacksonville, I assumed it was a little Smurf village where Michael Jackson's family lived.

I used to think "Led Zeppelin" was a solo artist or something and his name actually was "Led Zeppelin"

When I was a little girl, I watched a musicvideo of Kate Bush. After seeing it many, many times, finally my sister said; Don't play it anymore, she will be tired of singing it!
So my sister thought that Kate Bush had to sing the song every time we played it =)

i grew up during the time when Bill Cosby was popular, but when i heard people talking about Bing Crosby, i would try and correct them..."don't you mean BILL COSBY" obviously not knowing there actually was a Bing Crosby!

i used to think the term prima donna was pre-madonna, and thought that when somebody used that term to describe someone, it meant that the person acted or looked like Madonna in the early 80's!

not a pre-maddona
