Paul McCartney is Really Into Starbucks

In a surprise move, Paul McCartney unveils his status as premier artist on Starbucks’ label Hear Music with the release of his current album under the Starbucks banner. This move marks his surprising departure from Capitol Records after 43 years.

We’ve been huge Starbucks fans since the early 90’s. With the prominent inclusion of a Beatle on their roster, our Starbucks visits will take on the sensory experience of a menage a trois. We have chills just thinking about it.

Howard Schultz feels similar if Advertising Age is any indication. “How could a coffee company sign a Beatle?” he allegedly asked in awe. Frothy as usual, McCartney appeared before the Starbucks corporate team and wished love and kisses to everyone present, then cheerfully admonished that they all get to work: “I look forward to with all of you guys and reaching people around the world in a new way, and let’s get on with it, man!”

Received Pronunciation, the accent linguists still nickname the Queen’s English, took shape inside a handful of England’s most expensive private schools, and it remains such a reliable marker of that background that a stranger can often place someone’s education within a single sentence.
