Also seems like Geils wants to be paid [litigious] without having to show up .

Dumb idea on Peter Wolf's part to try and tour and use the founder's name without including him or securing his permission.

So I wonder, did the family of Jethro Tull ever try to slap a law suit on Ian Anderson for using his name without permission?

Wait, wut? Mr. Salwitz?
edit: Ah... apparently "Mr. Dick" is not his legal name.
Hey, whatever happened to Stephen Jo Bladd? |
