Neil Young, the legendary rocker, reportedly posted a letter to his management team that he wanted his music pulled from Spotify because it is providing a platform for popular podcast host Joe Rogan to spread COVID-19 vaccine misinformation. Rolling Stone, which first reported on Young’s letter, reported that the post has since been deleted. Young reportedly wrote in the letter that he wants Spotify to "know immediately TODAY that I want all my music off their platform."
"They can have [Joe] Rogan or Young," he reportedly posted. "Not both." Young wrote that Spotify has a "responsibility to mitigate the spread of misinformation

To be honest, I never knew who Rogan was.
But clearly he has quite an audience, for them to have their panties in a wad over him speaking truth.
When anyone from Hollywood or other "fame" speaks up on behalf of the globalists, they are actually outing themselves.

Hey #2: (this)"...southern man don't need him around anyhow". Hey Neil, get over yourself. You've been irrelevant for decades; still are. If this tantrum is any indication, you'll remain that way.

Neil Young was always an idiot. He's just an older idiot now. He used to protest against government, now he's all in for the government.

If you have Spotify, type Neil Young in the search bar and go to his page. You’ll see three dots. Touch the dots for the drop down menu. Select “Never play this artist’s music again.”

He CAN'T, and he knows it. He learned that lesson when he sued Trump for using his music and TRUMP WON. All his income comes from contracts with ASCAP/BMI to include his music in their catalogs. You pay for a license to the catalog, you get to play the song. That's how it works. Spotify pays for ASCAP/BMI for access to that catalog, just like the Trump campaign and every radio station and bar does. He can stop Spotify the same way he can stop any bar he doesn't like, by pulling his contract and having his music played nowhere. Not on the radio, not in a bar... nowhere. Go for it, Neil.

Joe Rogan has millions of viewers. He is one of the best interviewers there is. Neil Young? Ugly old musician with a bad voice that is married to an aging hottie and goes around thinking people care what he says.

I saw the Buffalo Springfield in the Shrine Auditorium in L.A. in 1967. The Grateful Dead was there too. It was one of the best nights for a concert I ever had. Neil Young was one of my favorites up to ‘72. Since then, my politics evolved, but his didn’t. Too bad.

I remember hearing 'Rockin in the Free World'.
The singer sounds like he's crying.
I mocked the song.
This was before I even knew Neil Young was the singer. Not a fan of Neil Young.

What is misinformation Neil? While I have never listened to Joe Rogan's podcast, i do know that he got the Rona and used a treatment recognized by the medical community throughout the world as viable and had a very positive response, recovering rather quickly. He shares his experience and those of others to question why our government continues to push vaccination over treatment in the USA, when our government changed the definition of a vaccine to lower the bar on what COVID vaccines approved for Emergency Use Authorization actually do. Sorry Neil, I stand with Joe Rogan on this one.

I don't listen to either, but support the freedom of speech so would keep Joe Rogan over Neil Young.
Same would be true with Howard Streen, who is on Sirius XM.
You can either tune into their shows, or not. Freedom of choice.
Why are liberals always wanting to shut down, or censor opposing views or opinions? They tried the same thing with Rush Limbaugh for 30 years.

It's hard to take seriously anything Neil says. This is an "Old Man" who gutted the engine of a perfectly good '59 Lincoln Continental and replaced it with a hybrid. Said "LincVolt" broke down in the Sierras on a publicity tour and then started a fire in a warehouse full of rock memorabilia.

No, Neil, Spotify has a responsibility to provide music and podcasts to their subscribers. They do not have a responsibility to be censors for old hippie snowflakes like you that can't handle the fact that people have differing opinions.
We, as customers, can then chose what we want to listen to or avoid like the plague (like your music).
I know this is hard for old hippie snowflakes like you to understand, but Spotify has a lot of music and podcasts that I personally find offensive or have no interest at all in listening to. As a 63-year-old woman, I chose not to listen to them. I don't have hissy fits. I don't demand that Spotify remove them because I don't like them. I just ignore them. Freedom, it's a beautiful thing -- unless you are a hate-filled ugly old hippie snowflake!!!

As a soloist artist, Young has put out around 55 albums since 1968. Most of them have been crap. Anything still worth listening to such as Cinnamon Girl or Old Man and a handfull of other tunes can be heard on every Classic Rock station in the country. The rest of it wouldn't be missed.

Neil Young has always been a jerk, an you know what-Hole and a mistreater of women. Isn't he from Canada? Maybe he should move back there. He had a handicapped son that he treated like dirt the mother of that son also.

Agree with #62. That whiney voice was why Crosby, Stills and Nash said, "Oh yeah, put that wussie on the album...he fetched our meals and drinks during this record session, to say nothing of his Cocaine connections."

Perhaps Whiny Neal should move back to Canada (as if they would want him,.....) but leave all of his American made money here in a trust for his ex wives and his handicapped son. I doubt if he's man enough and charitable enough to do that though.
