About Bands Who Don't Come To Montréal

There is more and more (angry, disappointed) talk about many (most?) interesting music acts not making a Montréal stop in their tours of late.

More often than not, we're stuck with has-beens like Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Journey, Styx, and Mötley Crüe - you know, crap.

But if it means that the Jägermeister Korn Tour will miss my town, they, hey, it can't be all bad.

How a reputable beverage will only associate itself with the shittiest bands is beyond me. Sponsoring this tour doesn't equate their drink with ''danger'', nor with ''influential''; it equates it with Bud Light, Kid Rock, Monster Trucks, NASCAR, and people marrying their cousins because that date-rape from three months ago resulted in unwanted pregnancy.

I wonder if I can replace Jäger with Sambuca in a Liquid Cocaine, 'cause this seems like reason enough to boycott a brand.
