Having re-read your commentary, I realize that I should not have posted the alert here. It was way too harsh a response to what I perceived to be the stereotyping of Wal-Mart shoppers. Whether or not you can produce facts to back up your assertions about who among Wal-Mart shoppers buy what kind of music, I should not have assumed that you did no research. Again, sorry for the intrusion. BBB Michael,

There is no impulse buying involved at all. Wouldn't do this for any other artist, but this guy can sing his buns off, and rocks my soul!!!! Can't wait to travel to his concerts this summer, and will take my young teens with me! Um, I am one of those aunts, but I literally race to the record store to pick up my copy of Clay Aiken’s cds.

This blog is infested with blogblight: n. Malicious lies, half-truths, distortions and insinuations perpetuated mindlessly by bloggers publishing misinformation, photos or video from each others blogs, or the tabloids, with no thought to the veracity, authenticity or libelous nature of the content. The blight bloggers range from professional journalists (who should know better) down to the celebrity gossip hacks. Similar blight occurs in the other news media (tabloids) as well, but is more pervasive on the internet because of the anonymity accorded many of those who perpetuate it. Blogblight undermines one of the basic values of the internet, information sharing. Rather than seeing legitimate and accurate information, internet users see blogblight instead. This blog also has a bad case of DumBlight. BLOGBLIGHT ALERT!

Sure, a CD is still technology, but many people need something tangible. Wal-Mart is clearly less expensive than most record stores. Also (ready for the bigoted, overly generalized and probably completely unfounded assertion?) it's possible that many Wal-Mart shoppers are just thrifty enough to still have dial-up (if anything) and thus downloading albums just doesn't make sense. Of course, my socioeconomic slurs don't really transfer cleanly to the Starbucks crowd, so I don't know why I brought it up. I think Starbucks is good at taking its own pulse, and if they find that it's not lucrative, they'll be quick to pull the plug. If that's the case, they could perhaps come up with a special deal with iTunes- some kind of coupon code given to individual 'Bucks customers good for credit towards a "Starbucks feature" playlist, available for download within 24 hours of the purchase. That way, artists still get the Starbucks promotion, and Starbucks can still get a slice of the pie. I think the Wal-Mart effect also stems from many people’s fear of interweb-net-tube technology.
