Don’t rush to slam boomer tastes

IN her zeal to be part of the new, young set, Ann Powers snickers that Paul McCartney will add “baby-boomer glamour” to Starbucks’ Hear Music endeavor [“Label Starbucks’ Music Taste Bland,” April 1]. If I’m not mistaken, Powers was born before 1964, making her -- gulp -- part of that generation. Perhaps in the future she will insert that fact into any article sneering at that -- her -- group. She signs off by slamming Starbucks for not signing her favorite bands, saying Starbucks’ current music is “duller than last week’s beans.” Horrible analogy aside, she is pre-slamming McCartney’s as yet unheard music. You go, girl! Please.
