Disney, on the Other Hand, Is Going to Play "Reno" Round-the-Clock, instead of "It's a Small World"

Bruce Springsteen's lyrics are too hot for Starbucks. NEWSWEEK has learned that the naitono's favorite coffee chain has retreated from a potential deal to sell the singer's new album, "Devils & Dust," because of one steamy tune on the 12-song disc.

The song, "Reno," is in part about an encounter with a prostitute. Springsteen includes a description of anal sex, including the price she charges for the act.


Apparently, in Nevada, that sort of thing can be had for a triple-tall grande, sugar-free vanilla, soy latte -- extra hot -- and you can pay for it with your Starbucks card.

There was going to be a CD-Latte-Anal Sex-with-a-Hooker tie-in, but the hookers balked and walked out of negotiations when Starbucks insisted they wear green aprons. That's what really happened.

This lyrics bouhaha, it's nothing but a smokescreen.
