Saturday Night Music Video: "Busting Up a Starbucks" by Mike Doughty


Here's a song that seems as if it were written specifically to be posted here at TDS. Most "message" songs don't work very well because the songwriter is so intent on making a statement that they forget to accompany it with a tune worth hearing. Not so here. Not only does Mike Doughty perfectly articulate what I'd like to do to a location of one of America's most omnipresent, soul destroying retail chains, but he remembers that his first duty as an artist is to fucking ROCK.

Enjoy!
