Congressman Bob Brady (D-PA), Chairman of the Committee on House Administration, recently spoke at a musicFIRST event to voice his support of Performance Rights Act, H.R. 848.

"It's the original performers that I listen to, to Dion, to the Frankie Valli's, to Peter Paul and Mary, and I wouldn't know the song, I'd turn it off, if it weren't sung by the original artist."

"As soon as I found out that they were hurting, and not even wanting to justly compensate the performers, it wasn't only my honor, it was pleasure and my duty to take my name off the bill and put my name on the right bill, the Performance Rights Act."
