    Probably, but still a dumb PR stunt. Why would anybody think serving coffee would boost album or concert ticket sales?

      I didn’t know he had a new album coming out. Now I do. And now we’re all talking about it. That’s all they’re looking for, more people discussing it so it’s back of mind when it actually drops.

      Dude if I got my ass out of retail/food service to finally become a famous rock star, and my PR agent told me to go work a shift at the local MickyDs I would absolutely fire my agent… From a replica Quake 1 rocket launcher.

      Or if that can’t be invented yet I’ll settle for good ol Reliable Trebuchet.
