Neil Young has released a new music video for a track in which he mocks the Starbucks coffee shop chain. The track is titled “A Rock Star Bucks a Coffee Shop” and it is pulled from his new anti-GMO concept record titled The Monsanto Years. Young, a long time farming rights advocate, blasts the mega-chain singing, “From the fields of Nebraska to the banks of the Ohio / Farmers won’t be free to grow what they want to grow / If corporate control takes over the American farm / With fascist politicians and chemical giants walking arm in arm.” Young had previously blasted Starbucks because of their membership in the Grocery Manufacturer’s Association, which lobbied against a groundbreaking bill in the state of Vermont that would have required special labels for foods including GMOs. “No latte’s for me folks. I am not going to support a company that actively tries to defeat the will of the people by fighting their right to know what is in the food they eat,” he said at the time.
