How Do I Tell the Dead Kennedys They're Awesome?

Not so much for the music, but for pulling out of their tour because Coors is a sponsor. Following a press release, Rock and Rap reports East Bay Ray as saying, "Because we were not alerted to the ultra conservative, right-wing sponsor for this event, we could not see a reason to go ahead and perform at this show in good conscience. Dead Kennedys want nothing to do with this event or Coors and I am disgusted that they are now sponsoring punk shows, something they are politically at odds with."

Besides the fact that they make piss-water beer, you should avoid Coors because they're essentially Corporate Evil. The twins and general depiction of women is relatively forgettable in the world of advertising, but I'm also not sure they're down with lefties, gay, trees, punks, Jews, or water (except the fantastical Rocky Mountain variety).

I used to like Killians, but haven't knowingly had a Coors product in years.
