Not quite what I had in mind for my crazy Starbucks idea, but hey, it’ll do. Instead of unlimited free music downloads while at a Starbucks location, Starbucks has started its free Pick of the Week program.

Didn’t know about the Net phenomenon called RickRolling where juicy links mislead users to a YouTube video of Rick Astley singing Never Gonna Give You Up.
If you fall for one of these links then you’ve been RickRolled. Wonder if Starbucks’ mysterious Big Secret is some grand form of a RickRoll?
