“I caught you knockin’ at my Cellar Door. Hey baby can I have some more...” caffeine.

A Rock Star Bucks a Coffee Shop, to no avail. In the perhaps greatest irony in Neil Young’s musical history, Starbuck$ has leased the former Cellar Door nightclub building.

Alas, Cinnamon Girl has been replaced by Cinnamon Dolce Frappuccino®.

Back in 2013, we returned to the scene 43 years later posting Caught You Knockin' At My Cellar Door (or "Keep on knockin' in the free world").

Upon our return to the hallowed ground that once was The Cellar Door, on the corner of 34th & M St., NW, in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, DC, we were none to amused by the appearance of the latest blasphemy -- a permit to build yet another Starbucks coffee shop?! Clearly, the time has come to remove these Starbucks signs so that the coffee barista slaves of the world can be freed.
