singer/songwriter legend Bob Dylan has signed an exclusive CD deal with Starbucks.

Dylan: Live at the Gaslight 1962 will be sold exclusively through starbuck stores in the US. Starbucks are notorious for their anti-worker/union policies.

Last year dylan released an exclusive compilation CD through lingerie retailer Victoria's Secret. Bob also appeared in one of the their tv ads cavorting with scantily clad women. Feminist groups have consistently hit out at victoria secrets ad campaigns claiming that they objectify women.


"Advertising signs that con you
Into thinking you're the one
That can do what's never been done
That can win what's never been won
Meantime life outside goes on
All around you"

1965 song "It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)." - dylan
