After just one year in the recorded music biz, Starbucks Records is shutting down. They overpaid for Paul McCartney last year and then spent a ton for Joni Mitchell and James Taylor. I hear the Taylor deal paid off but the other stuff "shit the bed".
There is bit of irony in this as well. One of the majority stockholders in Starbucks is none other than Kenny G. In fact, my sources tell me that Kenny has made more money from Starbucks stock than he ever has from selling records. And say what you want about his music but Kenny Gorlick (his last name) has sold a shitload of records. Please enjoy Kenny blowing Michael Bolton...
