Starbucks: A tip from me on artist management

Well, a recent visit to a London Starbucks (Hammersmith Tube) gave me a little surprise. We all now know of the tie-up with Paul McCartney and the fact that they have shifted a fair few of his recent release. Good news for all. In store now the price has dropped to £5.99 which suggests that they are now looking to clear out the release for the next artist. Fair enough. However, I would make one suggestion to Starbucks. Having gone to all the trouble of signing up such a big name as Paul McCartney, it might be best not to be playing John Lennon tunes in store. The shock of hearing 'Woman' made me almost choke on my muffin…just imagine (no pun intended) if Sir Macca heard about this.
