| 1. Well, for one thing, the Kingsmen totally ripped off the Wailers |
|
And they readily admitted it. :D

| 2. Covering songs does not constitute ripping anyone off. |

| 4. They readily admitted that they copied their act after the Wailers |
|
They were huge fans of theirs.

| 3. You are correct, my friend.. |
|
If you are a fan of garage rock/punk, check out the "Boss Hoss Rock N Roll Revival Hour" on my station; if you are a fan, you might recognize the host from one of the best retro-garage bands of the 80's...

On the Mccoys first album they did a version of "Fever" that sounds pretty close to "Hang on sloopy".

| 11. I guess that's the point then..... |

I-IV-V-IV being the 'classic' rocknroll pattern, CB could have sued just about everyone if he had wanted.
Of course, Chuck always wanted his money up front, in cash anyway.
