Cannot name names, but a local concert tour by a well known band was cancelled because the state liquor board would not allow the free flow and sales of hard liquor during the concert...only beer was permitted.

So hold out on concerts for the sake of liquor or a statement against SYG.....Stevie Wonder wins that one.
