pop stars

I have always been a big fan of Fleetwood Mac, and I used to think (still do actually) that I was the long lost daughter of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, and they had to put me up for adoption since they were on tour at the time, and that they are out looking for me now.

I still think to this day that Michael and Janet Jackson are the same person. Think about it, they've never been seen together, and they both have the same nose! I also thought that Prince and Michael Jackson were the same.

Mikael Jackson was a white female

I used to think that B2K stood for Burger King, because I go tit confused with their commercial, BK4U.

For a while, I used to think that Led Zeppelin was the name of a person that fronted the band of the same name. I was set straight when I asked my father if Led Zeppelin was still alive.
Also, during my childhood, I used to think that Elton John was straight, but boy, was I wrong.

When I was little, I thought the Beatles really were bugs.

As a child, I thought that Olivia Newton-John was Elton John's wife and Juice Newton's sister.

When I was little I just knew there were five Beatles. My father had some Beatles records, some of John Lennon's and George Harrison's respective solo albums and, near them, some Bob Dylan records, so I figured he must be the fifth one.

when i was little, i thought elvis had died because he'd eaten to much and had eventually burst.
that was one freaky mental image and it gave me nightmares for months!

there was this kid named bruce that lived across the street from me when i was little. my mom used to call him bruce springsteen. i honestly believed that bruce springsteen lived across the street from me, and that this kid was the one that sang Born in the USA. Even when i was a teenager i would tell people that i used to live across the street from bruce springsteen.

When I was little, I thought that Iggy Pop was a really just an old pop band. :P

A very long time ago when Saturday Night Live was in its infancy, and I was just out of mine, Billy Joel did a guest spot. I can still remember him sitting at the piano, playing and singing -- and how proud I was that my Uncle Billy was on tv! At least until my mother pointed out that not every male with a beard named Billy was my Uncle Billy (to be fair, they did actually look somewhat alike). For years afterwards I still thought there was a chance that my Uncle Billy had a piano hidden somewhere in his house, and that everybody was lying to me because they were afraid I'd tell all my friends, and then they'd all want autographs.

When I was really little I'd only heard of Michael Jackson, never seen him. My parents were watching tv and there was one of his videos on, in which a mob break into an old spooky mansion and Michael Jackson was dancing there. I thought that M.J. was a girl and therefore this old man with glasses who was the head of the mob was Michael Jackson. I like my MJ better.

A few years ago I used to think No Doubt (Gwen Stefani) was a hip-hop band because the song "No Diggity, No Doubt" by blackstreet boys was hip-hop and I got confused with the words No Doubt thinking only "gangstas" and "thugs" used that phrase.

I thought up until I was about 14 that Prince and Micheal Jackson were the same person. You gotta admit they both look/act really weird.

Kitty

I used to think that Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson weren't actaully related (well, they had completely different skin colours!)

I also used to think that there were 2 people called Michael Jackson, one who was black and about 13, and one who was white and about 30.
