ther are not clear examples of BS like Moby Grape, the Doors etc. There are those who wish to exploit the vaugeires of the concept for financial gain.

Please explain to us who and what you are talking about.

  example, for instance. Two want to tour as "The Doors". But Densmore knows better, that the three of them DO NOT make up "The Doors" and has VERY SUCESSFULLY prevented attempts by Krieger and Manzarek to tour as the Doors, and refused to be a part of that nonsense.
  Phoney lineups of the Coasters and Drifters haunted the landscape for years.
  Calling yourself Queen without Freddie Mercury.
  The Guess Who with Brent Dajoulis instead of Burton Cummings.
  Calling yourself Foreigner without Lou Gramm.
  Anyone calling themselves Moby Grape without Skip Spence.
  Rockers run out of money and do things they would otherwise be ashamed of, bootlickers aid them.

    But since the Moby Grape gig appears to be a private invite only affair, your criticism of it might seem ill-placed.

    Isn't 'tawdry' part of the R&R mystic ?
    - business in general is amoral - Duilawyer 22:04:25 01/03/07 (0)
      but we are supposedly not businesses.
    - the music business is not an area for the discussion of morals - dave c 20:49:57 01/03/07 (3)
      We all like to think the musicians we like are wonderful human beings but musicians are no better or worse than anybody else.
      Given the ego quotient involved in writing recording and performing, it is not a business for nice people to do well in.There is too much money and fun stuff for that to ever happen.
