Title: Neil Young continues his douche baggery
Post by: Lucifer on January 27, 2022, 10:27:17 AM

  So he issues an ultimatum to Spotify to cancel Joe Rogan or he will remove his catalog from air play.

  So Spotify says "no problem" and cancels Neil Young.   LMAO.

  Hey Neil, it's called "business".  Joe Rogan's $100+ business is worth far more than some washed up half ass musician's seldom played catalog.

These idiots think people still care about them.  Yes, I like some of his music, but important he is not.

Neil Young Asks Artists to Join His Anti-Spotify Crusade After Joe Rogan Ultimatum Failed


Alana Mastrangelo
27 Jan 2022

Left-wing rocker Neil Young is now pushing for other artists to pull their music from Spotify, calling the audio streaming service a “damaging force” that is causing “24 year old’s” to end up on “the wrong side of the truth.”

Young’s call comes after Spotify said it would pull the singer’s music from its platform following his demand that the company either remove his music or blacklist Joe Rogan and his popular podcast.

On Wednesday, Young continued his attacks against Spotify on his website, claiming that the company “has recently become a very damaging force,” and urged others to join him in removing their music from the platform. “I sincerely hope that other artists and record companies will move off the Spotify platform and stop supporting Spotify’s deadly misinformation about Covid.”

In his diatribe, the former Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young member also suggested that content needs to be censored on Spotify because most of its listeners are “24 years old,” which makes them “impressionable.”

“Most of the listeners hearing the unfactual, misleading and false COVID information on SPOTIFY are 24 years old, impressionable and easy to swing to the wrong side of the truth,” the singer wrote.

Spotify represents 60 percent of the streaming of his music to listeners around the world, added Young, who went on to claim that he was “losing 60% of my world wide streaming income in the name of Truth.”

Young also thanked Warner Brothers for standing with him and “taking the hit.”

Before the removal, Young had 2.4 million followers and over six million monthly listeners on Spotify, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal.

At the time of Young’s music being pulled, a Spotify spokesperson said the following in a statement:

We want all the world’s music and audio content to be available to Spotify users. With that comes great responsibility in balancing both safety for listeners and freedom for creators. We have detailed content policies in place and we’ve removed over 20,000 podcast episodes related to COVID since the start of the pandemic. We regret Neil’s decision to remove his music from Spotify, but hope to welcome him back soon.

The only song I remember is something about a horse with no name.

I think I saw him in concert once but can’t remember. I wish I had kept all my concert tickets stubs.

 Horse with No Name was America.

  Neil Young is a Canadian, and a crappy song writer and musician.   Never was really mainstream popular and gained some notoriety when he collaborated with Crosby Stills and Nash.

  He believes he is still relevant although he never has been.

This is becoming a celebrity savior cause. I didn’t even know Joni Mitchell was still alive, but she’s using this argument to remind people that she still exists.

I don’t think I’ll follow the lead of another old hippie who probably hasn’t shaved her legs or armpits since 1962.

Joni Mitchell was a point of disagreement between my husband and I. He liked her. I found her voice grating.

I agree Rush, never a fan. She was more of a folk singer I guess but she didn’t do anything for me. She’s buddies with her fellow Canadian communist Young so not surprising she took her music down too. Doubt too many people give a shit about her anyway.

I did like a couple of Joan Baez songs.  “Diamonds and Rust”, which was about her relationship with Bob Dylan, and “Fountain of Sorrow” which was a cover of Jackson Browne’s song about, ironically, his relationship with Joni Mitchell.

But you're a huge Yoko Ono fan.   ;D

Did Jackson Browne beat on her too?

Spotify’s market capitalization fell about $2.1 billion over a three-day span this week, coming after folk rocker Neil Young yanked his songs from the audio-streaming giant to protest Joe Rogan’s misinformation-spreading podcast.

Let’s not talk about how the stock was dropping since 1/11/22 also how it has recovered to the point before any of this news started.

 The only Neil Young I was listening to was from his Buffalo Springfield days.  I am not a CSN nor CSNY fan but did like some of Young's solo work.
