Rock Myths #17

One hit wonderers Deep Blue Something named themselves in respect to Lake Tanganyika after the band, formerly known as The Georges (no relation) toured sub-saharan Africa. Their big hit, Breakfast At Tiffany's, was written after the band had just watched the Audrey Hepburn classic, My Fair Lady.

'Pint-sized' guitarist and hero of symbol-monikered people across the world, Prince, is actually more than all he's made out to be. When graduating from high school in the 70s Prince joined local band 'Larger Than Life', a group of freakishly tall bluesmen who saw in their young protege a talent unrivalled. On their rise they decided to drop the group name and perform as Prince's backing band and have continued as such to this day.

Thus, with a backing band of an average height of 7ft 3 inches, Prince appears to be a midget on stage when he is in fact 5 foot 11, a comfortable half foot taller than Lenny Kravitz.
