Country Star CALLS OUT Big Pharma in New Song

Music and comedy have REALLY been doing the heavy lifting for journalism and advocacy in recent times.

James Li is such a gift to BP man. Great video again!

It can't be emphasized enough that pharmaceutical drugs have killed far, far more than illegal drugs have in the last 50 years.

Thank You for giving her an outlet on this most important subject!

As someone from eastern Kentucky, every lyric in her song hit me like a freight train. She nailed the pain, the betrayal, that devil in a lab coat pushing pills that tore our communities apart. It’s heartbreaking, but her singing it? That’s a win. She’s shining a light on folks who’ve been forgotten while Big Pharma keeps hammering us. Those Purdue lawsuits? A cruel joke. The same lawyers pushing settlements were getting kickbacks, and now the money’s going to NGOs, not the people who lost loved ones, homes, everything. Her words gave voice to our hurt, and I’m thankful because we’re still here, still fighting to be seen.

I come from the '60s and '70s. Songs like this were part of a genre all their own. Then the corporations bought all the studios. Corporations don't care for this music and will do all they can make sure it isn't heard.

Nice! Another one that’s a few years old now is “The Trapper and the Furrier” by Regina Spektor - she addresses the pharma industry in that song too.

Good for her.

Yes! Thank you for reporting on this and helping her to call out the Sackler family who murdered 500,000 Americans, for profits. Let’s hope we see the Sacklers in prison soon.

The opium epidemic of the 19th century is nothing compared to Big Pharma today.
