Hee hee! That would be even better! I received some e-mail telling
me that it has been printed in Rolling Stone magazine that Mr. Manson
was never a child star.

Marilyn Manson's real name, according to the "eye" (weekend entertainment)
section of the San Jose Mercury News of January 17, 1997, is Brian Parker.
I've never seen "Mr. Belvedere", so I have no idea if this is the name
of the kid who played eldest son Kevin. However, it's clearly not the
name of the kid who played Paul on "The Wonder Years", said person being
Josh "Yalie" Saviano.

No. What you have is a celebrity rumour. Standard stuff. So-and-so used
to be a child star, such-and-such had a facelift, this-or-that was in a
porn film, what's-her-name is drying out at Betty Ford. Celebrity rumour,
nothing more. Simple, amusing, one-line "facts" that once spoken don't go
anywhere. Sells _National Enquirers_, that's about it.
Legends are *stories*. They've a plotline, a cast of characters, a
suitable climax. Think "biscuit bullet" or "vanishing hitchhiker" or
"hit the floor!" These are tales of the imagination, little morality

Here, simple and easy:
Rumour -- There's rat poison in Sweet Dreams chocolate bars.
Legend -- Rodents were ripping apart this factory in the Northeast so much
so the factory cats couldn't keep up. They set out rat poison,
but the problem was it didn't work fast enough -- before keeling
over clutching the lily, rats first had ample time to parade
around the factory. Some of the stuff must have passed from
their little feet to the conveyor belt for *three shipments*

* TO E-MAIL ME, REMOVE THE SPAM-BLOCKER FROM MY ADDRESS *
Robert Pohl
Recently, there was some bad blood on AFU (hardly a rare occurance,
I'll grant you) when someone posted a snippet about '(some formerly
cute kid) is now the lead singer of Marilyn Manson' This thread
was shouted down on AFU as being a celebrity rumor, not legend. The
original author stuck to his guns, though, in insisting that there
were plenty of celebrity rumors on AFU, and his had a place as well.
Furthermore, he accused the AFU cabal of being old fuddy-duddies
who only cared about legends surrounding 'their' celebrities:
Richard Gere[1], Lionel Ritchie[2], Paul Newman[3] and Jamie Lee
Curtis[4]. The discussion died out right there, leaving (at least in
my case) a vague feeling that the poster might have a point in that.
However, it occured to me while thinking this over just now, that
there is something missing from the 'cute kid is now MM singer': Any
sort of moral. As Brunvand says in TVH[5], urban legends tend to
'teach valuable lessons'. The Marilyn Manson story has irony (which
is certainly a nice element for a story to have) but no lesson.
Getting back to the list of 'allowed' celebrities, we get this:
Story Moral Irony Mutability
Richard Gere yes (Beware of gay sex) a bit high
Lionel Ritchie yes (Beware of sterotypes) high high
Paul Newman yes (Don't be an idiot around celebs)none high
Jamie Lee CurtisNone (Yess!) none low
Marilyn Manson None high medium
Looking at other current legends and old faves:
ElmoBomber yes (Get a real job or the FBI...) high low
Glass flows NONE! NONE NONE
My point in this exposition is, I guess, to give us a further weapon
to beat down annoying threads. Being able to say 'yes, but where's
the moral' is a tad more...uh...scientific than to say 'because we
don't care, that's why!'
Although I must admit that the glass flows thread does continue to
fascinate me, not because of the content, but because of its
durability. It's become a bit of a meta-legend, and I find it
interesting why it is so durable: Two sets of 'proof' exist.
1) 'Hey, look, Vern, the bottom of this old glass is thicker
than the top! Must be flowing.
2) Well, the CRC says...
The moral here? People tend to believe their eyes over what some
squinty-eyed scientist reads out of a fat book.
On a final note, I'll be interested to see how the ElmoBomber story
holds up. Will it die out as people forget about the unabomber and
tickle me elmo? (both of which are to be considered a Good Thing, as
far as I'm concerned) Or will it attach itself to other pairs of game
designers/crazed bombers?

You can read all about it in "Curses! Broiled Again" also.
There is a very interesting account of how it swept the country
in 1986 (where "the country" = USA). There were a couple of
different actors in the leading role, Jack Nicholson was one of
them. The setting varied, too. I think I heard one version of it set
in Wilmington NC.

I am feeling really frustrated now because I remember years ago seeing
this one vectored by Lois Wyse in her column "The Way We Are" in the back
of Good Housekeeping magazine. I can't remember the issue or year for the
life of me, but even as I read it, I remembered recognizing it as a UL. Of
course, she passed it on as having happened to a FOAF. And yes, in her
version of the story the celebrity was Paul Newman. I could not believe GH
let her get away with it. Of course, now I know better than to expect
truth from columnists.

While I definitely think you are right that it is an 'irony' instad of a
moral lesson, perhaps this UL stems from the popularity of hearing about
"Child stars gone bad." (I.E. the Different Strokes gang, Danny
Bonaduce, etc.). Another thought I had was that it is the opposite of
the "Bosom Snake" (I think that's what Brunvand called it, I don't have
a book on hand) theory.... That what something we once thought safe and
all american (i.e MCDONALDS) is actually holding nasty surprises for us
(i.e. Worm meat). So in this case, What some people hold as all evil,
(MM) was actually rather benign.
I personally favor the "sell out" theory: As alternative music becomes
mainstream, people who want to consider themselves "really' alternative
abandon anyone who has caught enough media attention to become a
household name. To someone who prides themselves on being a connoisseur
of the underground, an artist who sells that many records is a "sell
out", and worthy of slander. And since you can't really slander Marilyn
Manson for being bad, the worst possible story you could circulate about
him, is that he was once a goody-two shoes bad sitcom actor.

Can't remember Eddie's real name... but, I do know he did actually go on to
be in a band, Barnes and Barnes, which did the famous Fish-heads song. Also,
Joel and the 'bots mentioned this on MST3K, and Barnes and Barnes did a song
called 'Whatever Happened to Eddie?' with Eddie himself singing.

I thought it was Bill Mumy and Miguel Ferrer.
But apparently I'm wrong.. or else all three were involved. In the

I rather think Voobahaa (sp, M3 T00!!1!) was the title of the album by
Barnes & Barnes. I suspect you misinterpreted the caption. (I'm too tired

Currently, he's also co-creator/writer (along with comics pro Peter
David) of the Nickelodeon SF series 'Space Cases' - which, oddly enough,
bears some resemblence plotwise to 'Lost In Space'. He and Mark Hamill
appeared together in an episode as some very polite aliens - with the
robot from 'Lost in Space' as a background prop. They're both covered in
green metallic makeup and faking horrible Liverpool accents - it's
hilarious.

I have the album called Fish Heads, and it is a record in the
shape of a fish head, which came in a clear heavy-duty flexible
vinyl sleeve instead of a cardboard sleeve. It is by Barnes and
Barnes. It contains Party in my Pants, I Had Sex on TV, (If You)
Swallow My Love, maybe something else (it's hidden away
somewhere, if I get the chance I'll whip it out to check).
Party in my Pants and Fish Heads were both made into videos.

I have a copy of "Fish Heads" by B&B pressed on vinyl shaped like a fish
head. Any idea what that's worth nowadays? Maybe I'll just itty on over
to one of the vinyl collector's newsgroups and find out...

Never heard of them. But B&B definitely did Fish Heads.

No, no, no. You're all thinking of _Polka in my Pants, by Barry White
(according to Talk Soup).

Are you sure that wasn't "Townes Van Sandt in My Pants?" by Willie Nelson.
