Lately I have to admit that while waiting online at starbucks to get my fix, I have been checking out their music selections. I think they came out with what you would "expect" starbucks to sell, but little by little they have hipped it up a notch bby adding cool titles like Buddy Holly, James Brown, etc. Recent I saw they were selling the Vintage Country compilation and was curious enough to buy the CD while on the road working. yes, you heard it here, I bought a CD from starbucks! Anyways...The CD has great packaging, an impressive selection of songs and artists (not just the usual "stars") but what I actually got me writing this, was not the good, or the bad, but the UGLY! Get this: I pop the CD into my computer. import it to my itunes library, start reading through the booklet, etc..then I notice it: "only daddy that'll walk the line" by Waylon JACKSON!!! WTF? How do you fuck that up? Waylon JENNINGS!!, a legend, who's track is on the CD AND who's picture they use on the inside cover. The guy hung with Johnny Cash for god sake! He even brought country to the masses by way of Dukes of Hazzard. unreal...
They get it right on the package (twice), but some how they blow it in the encryption (or however they tell the computer which tracks are on the disc).
I figured there is no way Im the only who noticed, or at least the only one who wrote about it, but a quick google search proved that either nobody saw it, or nobody cared...well I do. Ive got yer back Waylon. This good ol boy will not let this stand man...
alright time to eat, drink, and sleep on this.
MH OUT.
