Music
Human-narrated audio
Summary
This music myth-debunking volume is organized by subjects such as song lyrics, deaths, and the origins of album and song titles. Some of the rumours and mysteries Edwards untangles are old favourites, such as Paul McCartney's alleged death, Robert Johnson's… purported sale of his soul to the devil, and the subject of Carly Simon's "You're so Vain." Others are more recent and obscure, such as Toto drummer Jeff Porcaro's death, what's not tattooed on Tom Waits's chest, and the inspiration for the White Stripes's "Hotel Yorba." Some descriptions of sex, strong language. 2006.
