Jon "Bowzer" Bauman of Sha Na Na on Fraudulent Musical Acts


On April 17, 2007, Jon "Bowzer" Bauman of Sha Na Na spoke before the Assembly Committee on Arts, Entertainment, Sports, Tourism, and Internet Media in support of Assemblymember Anthony Portantino's Assembly Bill 702, the Truth in Music Act. The bill would protect the public from falsely advertised performance groups by mandating that a musical or performance group contain at least one member of the original recording group, or hold a trademark from the original act, in order to publicly perform using the original group's name.

He is absolutely correct.Identy theft is a serious offense.Also it is a breach of Personal Privacy too which is another serious offense.This has happened on several occasion with groups of the same names and should never be condoned.

Either way, every fan of real music should be in support of this law.

"How many version of groups calling themselves the Platters and Drifters do you think there are?"

Same with the Shangri-Las. They try to pass themselves off as Mary Weiss!!!
