- If you read the AP Morton Downey Jr. obit or the Reuters Morton Downey Jr. obit last March, you'd think that he actually wrote Wipe Out. Yet if you check the AMG Entry for Wipe Out, you'll see that it's credited to Bob Berryhill of The Surfaris. And in spite of this, I can't find a retraction from either Reuters or The Associated Press. Just another case pointing out that you can't believe what you read on the web, or in this case, even in the newspaper.
- Thanks to Jeff Kay for asking the question that prompted me to look this up, and naturally to Google and the All Music Guide for making finding the answer as easy as it was.
