In Canada, the UK band Bush were prevented from using their name by a
pre-existing Canadian band of the same name from the early 70¹s who are
famous for...preventing Bush releasing albums in Canada under their chosen
name. So they released their first two albums there as ³Bush X². In April
1997, original Bush founder Domenic Troiano and UK Bush singer Gavin
Rossdale reached an agreement under which Rossdale's band were permitted to
use the name Bush without the letter X, in exchange for donating $20,000
each to the Starlight Foundation and the Canadian Music Therapy Trust Fund.
Everybody say ³aaahhhh²....
