Honestly thought for a second that was an AI generator for names of members of rock bands, my brain just couldn't handle Graham Goble and Beeb Birtles.

I've spent 3 years or so thinking that the white-nationalist podcaster and youtuber Stefan Molyneux had created the computer game Populous, but found out today that it was Peter Molyneux (I think I was getting Stefan Molyneux mixed up with Scott Adams here as well, as in the trajectory from creating innocuous thing I liked as a kid in the 90s to reappearing circa 2016 as an insane advocate for crypto-fascism)

I just today found out these were two different people - I always thought it was sad that the game designer had gone crazy like that!

Got Madeline Kahn and Carol Kane confused so much as a kid that I still think of both of them nearly every time I see either one. Realised the other day that I may have also had Bernadette Peters mixed up in there, too.

I recently did a Madeline Kahn/Bernadette Peters mixup as well, although I don't think I'd confuse Carol Kane for either.

A friend who is an experimental poet compiled a book titled Supergroup that compiles names of session players on LPs of the 1970s, it is 400 pages long and actually rather fun to spend time reading through. The Little River Band post reminded me of it. https://www.gauss-pdf.com/post/42592642431/gpdf064gpdfe001-andy-sterling-supergroup

Occasionally, and embarrassingly (being a jazz dude), Dave Holland and Charlie Haden. I know the difference, but I sometimes catch myself thinking Dave Holland is the guy who did Liberation Music Orchestra, or that Charlie Haden was in Circle.
