From a press release out of the Senate President Pro Tem's office:

Jon Bauman (i.e. "Bowzer" of Sha Na Na) will testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Senate Bill 146. S.146 is designed to protect consumers from the deceitful promotion of "imposter groups"...

Senate Bill 146, introduced by Senators Alice Nitka and John Campbell, intends to expose the "Great Pretenders" of doo-wop and rock 'n roll revival performances in Vermont. The bill, which has passed in 20 states and, likely to pass in 10 more this year, is designed to stop unscrupulous concert promoters from deceiving the public with "imposter groups" which have no connection to the original recording artists or groups.

I got nuthin. Sorry.

I remember reading about this a while ago. As one who likes a lot of older music, I see this phenomenon quite often and have even seen a band or two that had maybe one original member, and often one that was nominal or marginal at best.

Great picture.

You can read JD's latest at five before chaos. But why would you do something silly like that?

Who cares if the Tiger agrees? I'm really sick of hearing about them. Why do you want to give them more traffic?

I think this is good (4.00 / 1)
Music fans and the bands they follow should be protected from fraudulent acts.

Also, if you haven't been in Vermont that long, you may remember a bar that opened up in downtown Burlington called Sha-Na-Na's. They were called on the fact that they were using the name of a well-known band, so they changed the name to Sh-Na-Na's.
