Guess Who lawsuit

Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman were two key members of The Guess Who, as they co-wrote most of their hits and Cummings sang them all. Now the pair are suing the current version of the band that has only one original member, drummer Garry Peterson, alleging that they are duping the public with the replacement members. The problem is that former bassist Jim Kale owns the band name and has authorized its use. According to him, he could send a bunch of trained monkeys on the road under that name and while that's despicable, I think he just might win the court battle. Here's the link to the story in Rolling Stone, but if you're restricted from reading it, Burton has posted it on his Facebook page.       https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/the-guess-who-founders-sue-band-false-advertising-trademark-1234863424/
