'Bushwhacked'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Yes, but the revolution must be well-caffeinated!Well, yeah. Did you people think the Boston Tea Party was actually about taxes?
I thought Starbucks was the government.
Um, that's Microsoft.Does the phrase 'coffee makers that think' ring a bell? It's obviously a joint-venture.
I don't think that there are a lot of people that I liked in highschool that would actually make me squee and stop breathing, but Bono would do it. Bowie clearly also.
What is Bono up to? This gives a clue:
Apple has sent invitations out to some news outlets announcing a "special event" in San Jose next Tuesday, the 26. The invite text reads: "Steve Jobs, Bono and The Edge invite you to attend a special event."
Apple Special events are generally related to new product announcements and introductions. Past special events have included the unveiling of the iPod and Apple Retail stores, as well as the XServe.
Maybe the "Revolution" that Bono mentioned is an attack against Microsoft....
Actually, I heard somewhere that Apple is gonna make available a special-edition black iPod that comes preloaded with every U2 album.

I would try really really hard NOT to squee and stop breathing, which means I'd probably blush and stammer and say something nonsensical, then bounce about 10 feet in the air as soon as I was done talking to him.
Which is to say: Great picture, Alicia. Do you work at Starbucks headquarters, or were you just randomly there?

Sigh. I like the commercial, but I still wish they weren't doing this corporate partnership thing with Apple. It seems so Aerosmith of them.
Maybe I should just be happy the product is still music-related, and not, say, Nikes.
October lyrics Found!!
Unfortunately they can't go back in time and make it a better album.

There's a limited edition iPod to be released with the new U2 album preloaded on it. That's probably it.
More on the briefcase thing:
When fandoms collide: The people behind that U2 blog, are also responsible for Whedonesque.

Actually I think that U2 have some kind of small stake in Apple. IIRC they invested heavily in some small Irish tech company that has a technology partnership with Apple.
Well, they have good taste.
Hey, congrats, Alicia!
So, were you embarrassed to be meeting Bono? I've been working on a piece about how embarrassing I find meeting admired celebrities.
