About this episode
What do Ozzy’s bat biting, Mama Cass’ "death sandwich", and Phil Collins' gristly eyewitness account have in common? You are about to find out! In this episode of Tape Spaghetti , Blake and Scott untangle the absurd, fascinating world of pop music myths that have outlived the truth—and sometimes even the music. From Keith Richards’ vampiric "detox secret", the truth behind Roy Orbison’s sunglasses, to the long-forgotten tale of Billy Idol’s (mostly) made-up dark side, they dive into why certain urban legends stick, and how they become part of a musician’s mythos. The conversation unpacks how misquotes, PR stunts, and the occasional mischief that feeds the beast—and why sometimes we fans want to believe. Tune in and find out how myths can sometimes become more famous than the melodies.
