Yes you heard correctly…Coors Beer has a new ad campaign that
uses "Who Needs Sleep". But it is sung by another band. …Not sure who
the band is yet or if it's just some ad jingle band that was thrown
together. Not many BNL fans are liking the commercial because the
cover is kinda crappy and it's not like anyone who doesn't already
know the song will run out and buy the album because no one but BNL
fans will know it's a BNL song.
Send me your opinion of the commercial and I'll include it in the
next newsletter. My email is pktez@hotmail.com
