Came here to say this - thank you.

Also:

Billy Corgan was the kid on Small Wonder.

Chuck Norris was the guy inside the Barney costume. He felt bad and he wanted to give back.

Rod Stewart and the gallon.

Richard Gere.

Kid who got caught in the rain with a back pocket full of acid and tripped for two years.

Mikey from Life commercial and his explosive demise.

It's incredible when you think some of these celebrity myths were pre-internet. Word of mouth can cause a national phenomenon.

I first heard the Rod Stewart urban legend waaay before I was old enough to know a thing about anatomy.

In the version I was told, see, women’s breasts have a thin film on them—so thin that casual exposure didn’t put you at risk.

But Rod Stewart’s exposure wasn’t casual.

No, Rod Stewart had licked a looooooooooooottta titties.

So many that his stomach filled up . . .

Marilyn Manson came to town in 1996, and I bought a ticket, partly because I had heard stories like "he tears up a Bible on stage" (I also liked the 'Sweet Dreams' cover). Nothing outrageous happened that night, but I enjoyed the show more than I thought I would. It was the night before Antichrist Superstar came out.
