This is a post from the Tower of Power Bulletin Board on AOL (remember, Russo used to be a Tower member). I do not post it for purposes of accuracy, rather just for informational purposes. I have no clue as to the accuracy of the statements, so no flames, please. However, I have asked Wholemtn his/her source of information, and will let you know when he/she responds. Subject: Re: Doobie Bros. Lawsuit Date: Thu, 30 September 1999 03:01 PM EDT From: <A HREF="aol://3548:Wholemtn">Wholemtn</A> Message-id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> A few points of clarification: The temporary injunction was granted for two dates in Florida that had already been postponed. The motion for the new dates was denied. There was nothing in the contract by Shogren, McCracken, and Bumpus (SMB) that made mention of the Doobie Brothers. Ticketmaster accepted full responsibility as this was done without the knowledge and consent of SMB. Over protests from the Doobies' attorneys (all 3), the judged granted SMB permission to use "Former members of the Doobie Brothers" in their promotions. Forty one press releases have backfired on the Doobie Brothers organization as this has thrust SMB into the spotlight. Offers are coming in faster than they can absorb- great offers. All are writing and hope to produce a CD of all new original material soon. This is a dream come true for these three hardworking musicians.
