This is a question Urban Legends

I'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?

Van Halen Reunion? Not quite...
Okay, this is entirely TRUE:

Back at the 1996 MTv Music Awards, myself and three other guys from my Firm were able to score backstage passes ($1500 a piece).

Before we even got there, we had been drinking for the better part of an hour and a half at a local Wall St watering hole. Walking around backstage (we are supposed to be 'stage workers' or at least thats what our passes said) and I am standing there watching either the Cranberries or Oasis play, literally from stage right and I hear what sounds like two grown men crying. I turn around to see David Lee Roth and Eddie Van Halen crying and hugging saying shit like "We never shoulda broke up the band man!" and "This is the way it was SUPPOSED to be FOREVER!"

So they go out to do their award presentation and Dave goes out with them. They announce to the viewing audience "We are getting the band back together!" The crowd goes nuts: standing ovation, the whole nine yards.

The next morning, I am driving to work and on the Howard Stern Show, (local and nationally syndicated NYC Shock jock) Eddie Van Halen is on talking about how they were just 'fucking with Dave.'

Bullshit. I (and now You fair readers, know the truth!)

100% true. I wonder if Dave pissed them off at an after-show party or something?
