I apologize in advance if my missive instills any undue offense to persons perusing it, specifically regarding their proclivities vis a vis musical appreciation, however I must express great surprise in the relative obscurity of such musical acts as being offered. Yes, yes, Starbucks does show a propensity in supporting the more avant garde musical set, but my word, Joni Mitchell? It is to laugh! My orginal consideration was to frequent, even daily, the nearest Starbucks establishment, till this news reached my consciousness. John Mayer? I belive it necessary to decline. It is rather distressing that this Apple/Starbucks endeavour failed to capitalize on the previously successful business structure re: the Apple/Pepsi accords, and their novel provision of multitudinous musical offerings, of course without requirement of monetary renumeration!
I posit that many, due to similiar viewpoints of course, shall as well find themselves refraining from participation in this new venture.
