Which makes it even more ridiculous, as Tom quit after about the
third album.  Hmmm, the 50 % of the band that contributed absolutely
nothing but backup, goes out on the road with a name as close as
possible without outright piracy.  Well, it's only r'n'r.  How about
the reformed 'Band,' minus, again, the most important member, in this
case Robbie Robertson.  At least the remnants of that group are all
good, creative musicians.  And Robbie didn't sing much, just
contributed about 80 % of the songwriting.
