    Kudos to them for having endured so long - since the 70's,
    apparently.

    Look at the Stones, they've been around since the '60s, and still kickin'. How, I'll never know.

    True enough. They probably sold their souls to the Devil. ;)

    Jethro Tull is still maintaining a fine presence. Started in
    1967. The sound still remains quite signature/distinctive.

    Agree to disagree. While Aderson owns the rights to the name, "Jethro Tull", now that he's the only remaining original member, is it really JT anymore? As for the "signature" sound, I'd say that ever sice Ian /properly/ learned how to play the flute, he sounds pretty much like any other flute player. On the up side, he's still got that great voice.

    On the Showtime series "Roadies", which covers the life of roadies
    supporting a band, they hire a band to be the opening act at one of the
    shows. On the day of the show, 3 bands show up all claiming to be the
    band name they hired....

    I was a fan of the band Queensryche. At one point, they fired the lead
    singer and his wife who was running the back office. The singer quickly
    hired a band and put an album out as Queensryche. The remainder of
    the band filed a cease and desist, it got tied up in court, then they
    settled out of court with the proviso that the singer could finish the
    tour in its entirety, then play specific songs under conditions.

    While this was happening, the band hired a new lead singer and released
    a different Queensryche album.

    The singer changed his tour name to the Queensryche Farewell Tour,
    seeing as he was saying goodbye to the name. Everyone thought the band
    was retiring, forcing the band to release press conferences affirming
    that they weren't retiring...

    Now, That's Entertainment!
