You know the music industry is radically changed, when a Beatle drops Capital Records after 43 years, and signs with...Starbucks. Yep. McCartney will be the premiere artist for Starbucks' Hear Music Label. Announced at the Starbucks annual meeting, Chairman Howard Schultz stressed to shareholders concerned about recent leaked memos and a stalled stock price, "Starbucks is at its core a coffee company, and its ability to expand beyond that requires the company to be the best at coffee." I'll have a cappucino and a Beatle, thanks.
