...Here's an idea I had......IT WON'T CHANGE CULTURES.
HAVE ANY OF YOU HEARD RUMORS ABOUT A PERSONALITY , IT COULD BE MUSIC , TV , MOVIES , LIVING A DOUBLE LIFE , TWO SEPARATE CAREERS AS TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE? THE MOST UNLIKELY , BUT TRUE , CASE THAT I CAN THINK OF IS THAT UK GLAM ROCK STAR , ALVIN STARDUST , STARTED HIS CAREER ABOUT 10 YEARS EARLIER AS SHANE FENTON , AND HAD HITS , THEN , TOO. THE MACABRE ANGLE TO THE STORY IS THAT ALVIN (NEE.BERNARD WILLIAM JEWRY)WAS ACTUALLY REPLACING ANOTHER SINGER WHO'D BEEN USING THE STAGE NAME OF SHANE FENTON , BUT , DIED , SUDDENLY.
INSTEAD OF COMING UP WITH A NEW NAME , THE PREVIOUS FENTON'S NAME WAS PASSED ON TO JEWRY/STARDUST , WHO , BY THE WAY , HAS A CONCERT COMING UP , DOING SHANE FENTON'S ACT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 46 YEARS.
BETTER KNOWN , STILL , ARE - ALICE COOPER /EDDIE HASKELL (KEN OSMOND) -
THE BIG HOAX.
KEN OSMOND/JOHNNY WADD (JOHN HOLMES)- THE EVEN BIGGER HOAX.
QUESTION MARK / JOHN KAY - OK , IF YOU LOOK AT EARLY STEPPENWOLF CLIPS AND REALLY TAX YOUR IMAGINATION , BUT , EVEN THEN , COME ON !!!!!
THE WEIRDEST ONE WAS A GUY ON THE EAST COAST CLAIMING TO BE PAUL WHALEY , FORMER BLUE CHEER DRUMMER , WHEN BLUE CHEER WERE STILL TOURING AND RECORDING , WITH WHALEY. HE HAD NO PROOF HE WAS WHO HE SAID HE WAS, AND , ANYONE WHO'D SEEN PAUL ON TOUR KNEW HE HAD TO BE AT LEAST 20 YEARS OLDER , CONSIDERABLY THINNER ,AND NOT POSESSED OF A MULLET. THE HOAXSTER CLAIMED THAT EVERY DRUMMER WAS GIVEN THE NAME PAUL WHALEY , AND THAT HE WAS JUST ONE OF THEM , AN EVEN BIGGER LIE THAN SAYING HE WAS THEE PAUL WHALEY.
THIS HALF - BAKED SERIES OF UNTRUTHS DID'NT SEEM TO HURT PAUL OR THE BAND ANY, BUT , BEING MISREPRESENTED WHEN THEY WERE BREAKING THEIR ASSES , UNDER CONDITIONS MEN THEIR AGES NORMALLY WOULD'NT TOLERATE , TO RE-ESTABLISH THEMSELVES IN THE US , WAS'NT PART OF THE SOLUTION , IT WAS , OF COURSE , PART OF THE PROBLEM.
