Tribute Bands and Impersonators? Who's dreaming who? Why did I wake up this morning thinking about this? It's been a very long time since I saw my last Beatle's tribute band ... somewhere in DC about 8 years ago ... and I'm not really thinking I need to see another anytime soon. For no sane reason I did a quick look-up on web site and news hits related to tribute bands and impersonators. Some numbers:










PerformerNews Item CountWeb Hit Count
Elvis156453,000
Beatles47361,000
Stones4233,000
Pink Floyd1990,000
Hendrix689,100
Barbara Streisand338,500
Judy Garland226,600
Sammy Davis Jr115,300

And what exactly does any of this mean? Haven't got a clue ... except that apparently any fool can and will, given almost any excuse, be an Elvis impersonator.
