Shame that a godo majority of these rumours are from the seventies. Modern news reporting has taken all the fun out of speculation.

8. Deborah Harry was once abducted by serial killer Ted Bundy.


The best thing about this one is that it's a lie Harry made up about herself.

11. Rod Stewart/Lil? Kim/Jordan Knight had to get their respective stomachs pumped after ingesting a gallon of semen.

My fave would be, "Ian Curtis hung himself by fixing the noose around his neck and standing on a block of ice until it melted."

BlackIronPrison, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 13:57 (eighteen years ago)

at least three of those are true

electricsound, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 13:58 (eighteen years ago)

Number Nine is true, by the latest accounts.

Mark G, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 13:58 (eighteen years ago)

I heard a variation on the Ian-Curtis-on-a-ice-block tale involving a meat hook and jawbone.

sexyDancer, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 15:19 (eighteen years ago)

and the air-rifllleeee...

Mark G, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 15:29 (eighteen years ago)

and 6 and 21.

21 isn't true.

According to lead singer, Eddie Vedder, "The name is in reference to the pearl itself... and the natural process from which a pearl comes from. Basically, taking excrement or waste and turning it into something beautiful."


Oh, OK.

Mark G, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 15:35 (eighteen years ago)

4 is true

I thought 22 was based on a weirder truth - Manson didn't try out for the Monkees, but for the Beach Boys?

Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 15:58 (eighteen years ago)

didn't co-write "Hang On to Your Ego?"

sexyDancer, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 16:12 (eighteen years ago)

didn't.

He did co-write "Never learn how to love" which was a b-side. No credit for it though.

Mark G, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 16:12 (eighteen years ago)

x-post

he was friends with one of the Wilsons, and one of their singles has a song written by manson on it as a b-side.

don't remember which song it was, but there was another beach boys tune featuring a young denny lethargy (another friend) on tambourines.

latebloomer, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 17:30 (eighteen years ago)

of course, Lethargy-related rumors would take up a whole thread of its own!

latebloomer, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 17:31 (eighteen years ago)

26. Keith Richards snorting the remains of his father ?
