I saw this comedian once (I forget his name) that said he went to see the Doobie Brothers, and all it was was two Pakistani kids and a boom box. Of course he was exaggerating, but that's not far off for much of the fair circuit, which features famous bands like the Coasters, the Platters, and others without any band having a whiff of an original member.

But another state has passed a bill that prohibits that act, as Ohio has recently passed a bill that prohibits bands touring under classic names from performing under said name in Ohio, unless they feature an original member, or someone who owns the trademark of the name. If the band chooses to perform, they could face a fine.

Similar bills have been passed in 26 other states, and the fine in Ohio could be up to $15,000. Most often, the bill isn't used to charge these bands--it often forces them to have truth in advertising. [Toledo Blade]
