lies, rumors, and erroneous information spread about musicians at your school as a wee thing

Did you hear Marc Bolan was on the radio the night he died?

And the dashboard, the steering wheel...

What was Marc Bolan's last hit?

A tree!

"All Cunts Die Cunts" was the version I heard.

I've been recounting this story for years (except it was his favourite snack, not a one-off thing). I'll be needing pretty strong proof it never happened before I stop

I thought Luther ADMITTED to doing that! I'll swear on a Bible / Spin Alt. Guide / holy book of choice I saw some ET segment where he described that whole sordid scenario.

It was "Wrap a yellow mini 'round an old oak tree" wasn't it?

Oh, I'm so so sorry, I just couldn't stop that - I'm afraid my computer is suffering from tourettes syndrome.

Yours too eh? It's a fucking pain in the fucking arse, isn't it you bastard?

Ozzy hung a midget onstage.

Ozzy killed a bunch of dobermans onstage with a chainsaw.

(This was was kinda gruesome and apparently very specific to my school)

Jimi Hendrix always wore headbands because he had cut on his forhead that he would jam drugs into

(which makes no sense on a number of levels but we didn't really know shit about Hendrix or drugs at the time)

W.A.S.P. stands for either A) We Are Satan's People or B) We Are Sexual Perverts

(This was told to me at a Peter's Brothers semiar The Truth About Rock, a travellling anti-rock "crusade" show my mom took me to)

On the cover of Who's Next, the Who have just urinated on a memorial to deceased British WWII veterens.

WASP= We are Satan's People

I am not familiar with the stomach pump story. What are the details exactly?

I remember hearing that Jimi would soak the headband in heroin and then it would seep into the wound on his forehead.

We Are Sexual Perverts, according to Blackie Lawless.

Why doesn't the Hendrix thing make sense? I figure it would work pretty well.

(Amount of cum varies by credulity of audience.)

There's also the varying number of men that the cum came from. I heard anywhere from seven to seventeen.

I guess, but wouldn't it be easier and less messy just to shoot up or smoke it?

Then there was some even more bizarre stuff about some guy in America who used to smear himself in peanut butter and jam and cut himself and throw himself into the audience.

Of course I completely refused to believe any of it it - how gullible did these bastards think I was anyway? And if they were going to invent a character, couldn't they come up with up a slightly more credible name for him than "Iggy Pop"?

What do you mean "liar"? It's all true, every word, honest, I swear it! I saw it with my own eyes!

More specifically, he was going to come onstage with a revolver, fire the first five shots into the audience, and kill himself with the final bullet.

The Kiss comic book - blood ink is true, although it was just a tiny bit of blood used.

All three of the Beastie Boys died of drug overdoses sometime after License to Ill was released.

James Brown loved his drummer so much he wanted him to fly to Sweden to get a sex change operation, so he could marry him.

A bit later than school, but a friend claimed and I believed that Autechre used to be Jive Bunny.

I think this one might be my favourite of the ones posted so far!

It's a good one but clearly way off. Everyone knows that Autechre used to be the Jump in the Saddle Band.
