On his latest visit to Ukraine this week, Secretary of State Antony Blinken made a surprise appearance at a bar in Kyiv, where he took the stage to perform a cover of a Neil Young song. “Listen, I know this is a really, really difficult time,” Blinken told the crowd at Barman Dictat on Tuesday night, a red guitar slung over his body. “Your soldiers, your citizens, particularly in the northeast in Kharkiv, are suffering tremendously.
“Rockin' In the Free World” is a less than patriotic song about the bleak malaise of American society — and it doesn't even have anything to do with foreign policy. Blinken is not the first U.S. government official to show off his musical skills, and he probably won’t be the last.
