It's one thing to be a fake, and let the audience know.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Jon "Bowzer" Bauman, formerly of the band Sha Na Na, had something to say Wednesday to impostor musical groups that make their living off famous originals: "Get a job!"

Bauman has been taking the same message to states across the country as part of an effort to pass laws preventing performers with no ties to original artists from passing themselves off as the real thing.

5. Exactly

Actually, he is apparently a really interesting person. Attended Columbia, is really smart. Who knew? I just always thought of him as the guy who liked to flex his bicep.

7. They played Woodstock

I bet a lot of people thought they had taken the brown acid after they saw that.

3. Kind of ironic, coming from a guy whose band got rich doing nothing but covers.

6. You said it much more clearly than I did above.
