We love Nellie McKay. How could we not? The girl is smart, she’s funny, and she’s a walking contradiction: The rave reviews thrown her way say that her music belongs in the smoky jazz clubs of the ’40s, but Nellie is only 19-years-old. She’s been a vegetarian since she was 8, but she hates vegetables. This tiny young woman with strawberry-blonde hair might seem pretty harmless, but she shows no remorse when attacking Columbia University officials for their abuse of primates.
When asked about the cruel animal tests that Columbia routinely performs, Nellie quickly declares that the tests are “heinous” and an “assault against humanity.” Nellie also called Columbia’s animal laboratories “torture chambers” during the April 20 protest that she led for PETA in New York.
The hot new artist is so passionate about stopping the obscene cruelties that go on at Columbia University that she wrote a song about it. You can hear “Columbia is Bleeding” and see the music video right here at peta2.com. Then you can catch Nellie on tour with Alanis Morissette and Barenaked Ladies this summer.
