“Tribute bands ranging from Lead Zeppole to Bjorn 2
Run now account for 3.5% of. America's GDP, employing 2.5 million musicians and
twice that number of stage hands, sound engineers and roadies. Working in a
top-flight tribute band is so profitable that musicians graduating from
prestigious music schools routinely join bands with names like Coldplague,
Flock of Seconals and Gladys Night and the Pups.” —Joe Queenan, “With a Little
Help From My Hordes of Imitators,” The
