I’m sure we’ve discussed this before, but some acts are now completely “Trigger’s Broom” (in fact an act should be called that). I read that “Foreigner” are currently playing a tour of the USA, and there is not a single original member now. Dr Feelgood and Lynyrd Skynyrd are other bands with the same situation. Inevitably, all acts will become this eventually. Might it be better if they admit they are tributes to the band, unless they are recognised as a brand? I thing the current “Gong” is in the spirit of the original, but for anonymous faces slickly banging out the big numbers is more common. Should there be a copyright mark?
