Paul McCartney's Memory Almost Full CD sold 160,541 in its first week, the best showing by Sir Paul in over a decade. It is the first CD from the Starbuck's Hear Music label. I'm kind of conflicted about this.Anyone reading Doonesbury this past week has seen Gary Trudeau's satirical take on this phenomena with ex-star Jim (Jimmy) Thudpucker announcing the release of his latest CD on the Burger King label. His CD is on rotation in the Burger King women's restrooms ('cause that's his demographic). I wish Sir Paul all the best, he puts on one of the best live shows I have ever seen, but I don't know if this Starbuck's music label is such a good idea. If it takes off can a Burger King label be far behind?
