Bossbucks! Springsteen banned in US coffee dens
He's an American icon, but Bruce Springsteen's new chart-topping album 'Devils & Dust' (our review) has been banned in corporate coffee chain Starbucks in the US, over concerns about its adult content. They've decided they have better records to sell, as the record doesn't come with a Warning label.
This is all mainly because of his song 'Reno' which describes somewhat explicitly an encounter with a prostitute... Is this rude?
She slipped me out of her mouth
"You're ready," she said
She took off her bra and panties
Wet her fingers, slipped it inside her
And crawled over me on the bed
Somewhat surprising, the coffee chain was responsible for a quarter of all sales of the late Ray Charles final album, Genius Loves Company, which sold three million copies across the US.
All this means is that fans of the Boss, and any kind of music really, should drink coffee in nice local coffee shops and buy their records from record emporiums. Pretty simple really.

Americans confuckingservative. *shrugs*
Devils & Dust. Only heard one track and it was quite good. Seems like just yesterday Courtney Cox was jumping up on stage with the guy and I thought he was finished. What do I know? I keep thinking people like the idea of buying records from record stores. *shrugs*
