For some reason, when I was around 14, I put Ian Anderson, Jon Anderson and Ian Hunter in each other's bands. Took me years to straighten out which was which. In the Internet age, I would have fixed it in a few clicks.

And also Jerry Lewis and Jerry Lee Lewis.

I appreciate they're worlds apart but I still have cognitive issues with Bruno Mars and Ollie Murs. Mainly because I have no interest whatsoever in either of them.
Some of these are utterly bewildering, though. (Ian Astbury and Ian Hunter??)
As I'm sure mine will be to others.

Totally get those. (One might add Ritchie Havens as well...)
My sister once referred to the Boo Radleys as the 'Bo Diddleys', which I rather liked.
(There's sure to be the inevitable 'Steeleye Span / Steely Dan' transposition, too. But we've kind of done that.)

Taylor chucked Mitchell to go with Simon. Taylor and Simon's marriage was blighted by Taylor's drug-abuse and cheating. Browne and Mitchell were in a relationship, Browne insulted Mitchell onstage and Mitchell accused Browne of hitting her, which resulted in Mitchell attempting suicide (circa early 70s). Browne then met his first wife, who then took her own life in '76. A few years later, Browne was with Daryl Hannah, who accused him of beating her in '92.
Crikey.

Oh, shit, I'm all confused now. I thought it was Taylor, who apparently had a bad heroin habit when he was with her. But now I see that Browne apparently beat Darryle Hannah, so who knows.
I'll just not support either of them and cover both bases.

Nick Heyward and Nik Kershaw. Not while they were relevant, not while I was a teenager but I've always had a hell of a time recalling which one was "him from Haircut 100" or "him what wore a snood".
