Coffee chain bans Springsteen CD

US coffee shop chain Starbucks has banned the sale of rock star Bruce Springsteen's album over concerns about its adult content.

The retailer - which stocks CDs at its branches in the US - said it would be promoting other albums instead.

I'm not going to comment on Springsteen's song-content, because it would be biased due to my disdain for him prior to this album's release.

I've always found him to be bland and uninspiring, not to mention the fact he can't sing for beans.

For any interested in the specifics of Starbucks decision (agree, disagree, or don't care), have a read at this one...

Counterculture legend Bob Dylan on Monday became the latest musician to sign up with Starbucks in an exclusive CD deal that follows the runaway success of a Ray Charles album sold by the coffee maker.

Dylan: Live at the Gaslight 1962, co-released with Sony BMG Custom Marketing Group, will hit Starbucks coffee shops August 30. It features 10 previously unreleased tracks from performances at New York's Gaslight Cafe over four decades ago, including A Hard Rains A-Gonna Fall and Don't Think Twice It's Alright.

This is probably a dumb question, but, Dylan's music or Springsteen's?

(I'm obviously banking on Springsteen)
