True, but if you play the whole "3 minute" song, they might not care. If you just play the first 30 seconds, they might care, since who wants to get to the dance floor only to have the band stop.

I saw a blurb on TV a couple of years back about how there are more than a few bands roaming around claiming to be "The" Coasters with new members. When the real ones were finally tracked down there were three origional members still in it and they said they had a terrible time eith imitations claiming to be them...not many people knew what the looked like and even then it was hard for most of white America to tell if these old blacks guys were the same ones they remembered.
