Neil Young, god bless him. He’s a rebel. His new album come June 16th is called “The Monsanto Years.” The first video is called “Rock Starbucks.” Since last November Young has accused Starbucks of being in cahoots with Monsanto over food labeling. Starbucks denies it.

Here are some lyrics: “If you don’t like to rock Starbucks, a coffee shop
Well, you better change your station ’cause that ain’t all that we got
Yeah, I want a cup of coffee, but I don’t want a GMO
I like to start my day off without helping Monsanto.”

You see, while Bob Dylan is mooing old songs from the 40s, Neil Young is really singing protest music. Remember his song for George W. Bush, “Let’s Impeach the President.”

Neil has a heart– and a brain– of gold. The single and the album will be available on Ponomusic.com so the lyrics will be very, very clear.

I guess the CD will not be sold at Starbucks.

Neil Young “Rock Starbucks” was first introduced in April. Can’t wait to hear the other songs
