Reverend Billy's 4th Sidamo Action & Fabulous Worship

Reverend Billy, the Stop Shopping Gospel Choir, and Not Buying It Band continue to pressure Starbucks to “let go Sidamo.”

The following message is a call for action for the 4th week in a row.

Sidamo Action & Fabulous Worship

The corporate logo makes you lose your mind and thirst for somebody else's! The pixilated supermodels leave you dopey, forgetful, drifty.

We are consumers now, more than we ever know. It's how the Shopocalypse happens: We Americans are trained not to ask where the products on the shelf come from…When Starbucks puts $26/lb elite coffee in front of us, from "Sidamo – The Birthplace of Coffee," we have starving Sidamo in our fingertips, we feel something might be wrong, but I've got my buzz, let me swipe my card and go.

After trips to Africa, to Virginia, and to The Tombs, your humble pastor feels ready to preach. On March 4th the Stop Shopping Gospel Choir and Not Buying Band present a new gospel song, Sidamo, sung by the soprano Adetola Abiades with music by Katrina Lewis. It starts:

Every morning for a million years I drank you black
Then my hungry child calls out to the dead
Sidamo disappears - it's something Starbucks said

Sidamo! Sidamo! Please come back to me.
