Rock and Roll Conspiracy Theories

[Ed]

What are your favorites?

I've always been slightly fascinated with the idea that Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon was created to be a substitute soundtrack for the Wizard of Oz. There are you tube videos that synch up the album to the film. If you don't have the time or interest to watch the whole thing then there are videos that just have some of the more interesting highlights...

Another conspiracy I was interested in as a kid was the whole Paul is Dead thing.

[Alana ~ The Book Pimp]

I've never tried it, but was told if you hit 'play' on the CD during the lion's second roar, that the Pink Floyd would 'match up' (with Wizard)

And, a stupid one I heard growing up was that Michael Jackson died in some accident, and some sister or cousin or something took his place, and that's partially why he looked so funky compared to his younger pics. Stupid, I know.

How about the disappearance of Richey Edwards of Manic Street Preachers?

Or the theory that Johnny Thunders didn't go tits up due to an OD but rather that he was murdered?
