As the band said "if the Dead kennedy's could keep the name.."
You are dead on balls accurate sir! Like I said, Elway is used to getting paid by people to use his name so someone using it for nothing disturbs him. I'm sure he and his agent considered licensing the name to them until they found out just how broke college town rock/punk bands really are. Ten free passes to their next show is about all they're likely to manage, LOL.
I'm getting to that age where a lifetime warranty just doesn't mean as much to me anymore as an afternoon nap.

I have a framed coat of arms portrait of "Henderson's Bar and Tavern" from Fife, Scotland, but nobody ever asked me for permission or paid money out to used my last name.

No, but my ancester was Sam Houston, and he was governor of two states (Tennessee and Texas), Senator of one (Texas), President of his own country for a while (Republic of Texas), and the namesake of the fourth largest city in the country today (Houston, TX).

Well that may get you a lifetime ticket to the Alamo Memorial but nothing for the use of your name. Now if they'd named Texas the Republic of Henderson you might have a case for some royalties but since they named it Texas I guess your $hit out of luck. Hell, Sam never was paid by the City of Houston was he?

And in other news, Ben Roethlisberger is confused as to why no one has named a band after him yet.

Why bother? They'd be so busy assaulting the cocktail waitresses they'd never make it to the stage.

Actually the band isn't that bad, when this happened Rome got a take of one of their albums and gave it air time.
The lead signer was railing on Johnny horse teeth. Said they were touring the country playing to 30 people. Said the only reason they chose the name was b/c it's big in Denver where they are based. And like Rome pointed out; this is a punk rock band, their used to fighting and pushing buttons...what the hell was Johnny thinking trying to push this?
My take, much like everyone elses, don't do anything. Chances are they don't last anyways. But now you have a good portion of the country interested.
