Neil Young and Promise Of The Real

Neil Young and Promise Of The Real

Neil Young is rather clear on his feelings about Starbucks, Monsanto and genetically modified foods with his new song “A Rock Star Bucks A Coffee Shop.”

He really dislikes them.

I explained a bit about his new song and video and why he feels this way for Samaritan Mag.

Danko Jones and Lemmy from Motorhead

Danko Jones is not a hard-living, hard-drinking rock ‘n’ roller.

Except when he’s hanging out with Lemmy.

Danko told me what it’s like to have a few jack-and-cokes with the Motorhead singer in a story for Noisey.

That Game Of Thrones: The Musical idea that Coldplay unveiled last week was pretty brilliant what with its “Rastafarian Targaryen” and Tyrion Lannister’s humblebrag he’s still alive.

There was a reason for the musical above and beyond it being an awesome idea, though.

Coldplay’s GOT videos were part of the first ever Red Nose Day USA television special.

I wrote about what Red Nose Day is for Samaritan Mag.

In fact, his latest album The Park Avenue Sobriety Test tickles the edges of protest singer territory.

I spoke to Joel about this evolution and more for The Bluegrass Situation.
