Bryan Adams teams up with Wal-Mart

Bryan Adams (not Ryan), Canadian singer-songwriter, just released his latest album 11. Instead of waiting to see the response from records sales, he and his record label decided to take matters into their own hands. They are working exclusively with Wal-Mart to promote the new album, meaning that will be the only place to find the record.
Recently, sales of Adams last few records have been sluggish, but you might remember him from back in the day, singing such hits as "Run To You", and "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You" which was written for the Kevin Costner's version of Robin Hood.


Though Adams is known for his humanitarian contributions, even "rock stars" still need to eat. This pairing is quite unexpected, especially when comparing the social issues he supports, with the morals of Wal-Mart. What would Bono say??
