Urban LegendsI'm ashamed to admit it, but I fell for the "Bob Holness played the saxophone on Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street" story some years back. It just seemed so right. I still want it to be true.
What have you fallen for, or even better, what legends have you started?

We're not that gullible but....My friends and I have fallen for a few urban legends in our time. The ones that stick out are that the chap who wrote "Don't Worry, Be Happy" back in the eighties committed suicide before it got to number one. Fortunately, this one was overturned due to doing some actual research on it before passing it on to all and sundry.
On a slightly more disturbing level was the story of how Ralph Macchio, the star of the Karate Kid films had gone through a sex change and was now working as a ladyboy in LA. Strangely enough, we weren't so keen to research that one...
