What I said may have been in bad taste. But it wasn't illegal, as they are claiming.
"John Carl Kuehne", better known as "John London", was an United States/American musician and songwriter, and was involved in several Hollywood, Los Angeles, California/Hollywood television and Film/movie productions. He was most notably associated with both the band The Monkees and their The Monkees (TV series)/television series.
A friend of Michael Nesmith's from Texas, who had played with him (mostly bass guitar) in several working bands, he accompanied Nesmith and then-wife Phyllis Barbour to California to try their luck in the Los Angeles, California/Los Angeles-area music scene. When Nesmith was cast in The Monkees, he recruited London as his stand-in on the set, and when the originally-fictitious band began playing on their own recordings, London sometimes served as bassist, allowing Peter Tork to play Keyboard instrument/keyboards, banjo, or another instrument. London also co-wrote "Don't Call On Me" with Nesmith, which was featured on Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd. and a second-season TV episode, and appeared in bit parts on the show.
