Spotify removes Neil Young

[SassyLady]

Good! Young threw a tantrum because he doesn't like Joe Rogan. I guess Spotify either supports noncensorship or Joe just brings in more money for them than Young.

Did you hear YouTube permanently drplatformed Dan Bongino for posting vaccine misinformation?

When he sang "HEART OF GOLD" he didn't realize HIS GOLD STANDARD was less than the value of a BIDEN DOLLAR...printed by the makers of "MONOPOLY" money in the U.S. Treasury and backed by HASBROhttps://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/6371/6371039_sd.jpg

With the amount of viewership that Rogan has and the money he must make them is much more valuable than a whiner who says 'him or me - or I take my ball and go home".

Did he remove his own music? This is all so ridiculous.

And also this one.

I can't imagine he really thought they'd get rid of Rogan.

Young is pissed because he thinks Rogan is spreading vaccine misinformation. Thought he could use the threat as blackmail. Spotify said bye.

No noble cause here. Nothing to do with right or wrong. UFC fanboy Joe Rogan is a cash cow. For some reason. Neil Young is irrelevant. For a reason. Somebody needs to tell him it's not 1969 anymore and most of his fans are probably deceased.

No-brainer business decision.

"I hope Neil Young will remember: A Southern man don't need him around anyhow."

For those who don't remember the background: Neil Young has been whining and "virtue signalling" his whole career with this 1970 song in favor of reparations as an example.

I'll say it again
It's still a bit disturbing and weird that people on the left ..former Hippies and Stoners ...are the Most hard core censors in America.
The same ones who for decades have demanded that every kind of profanity, soft porn and every sexual oddity known to man be allowed or "celebrated" everywhere in all media formats in the name of freedom of speech.
And the same people that have promoted every kind of alternative medical treatment
from Acupuncture to Chiropractic to Magnet therapy to Herbalism to Crystals to Reiki etc etc etc...
and have promoted free recreational drug use, from LSD to mushrooms to Crack and beyond
and worked for the legalization of all drugs
are now somehow OUTRAGED that some people (including Drs) are expressing different opinions about drugs in the media.

It's bizarre.
The lack of self awareness is kind of staggering.

Joni Mitchell and Nils Lofgren have added their names to the list of Vietnam-era, hippy protestors.

Question I have is: is this a list of irrelevant morons who want to replace Rogan's misinformation with their own like other protestors appear to be doing? Or just a list of oldest, still-living, irrelevant rockers from the 60s-70s?

Well, darn, I still listen to Young and to Mitchell. Good music. I’m a dinosaur…

I was born in 1947. So that makes me a member of those STONER era people too many people today also refer to as a BABY BOOMER too!
But I must have done something wrong and just can't find myself feeling like they do even if I too liked their music.
Come to think of it. Most of us BOOMER'S are no longer in the work force, and just trying to survive like everybody else. So the NOISE MAKERS and PERPETUAL VICTIMS like Young and the others just seem to be practicing...CUTTING OFF THEIR NOSES TO SPITE THEIR FACES so to speak.
They must be FINANCIALLY satisfied as they are...even while cutting off their supply of listeners just because they hate ROGAN????

I am still reminded of FOREST GUMP and his mother's remarks when it comes to most of the idiots around us today.

And somebody once said...."Show me three people sitting on a bench, and you can be sure at least TWO OF THEM are dumber than that BOX OF ROCKS."

Keep On Rockin' In The Free World is a metal classic.

That said, I have that song on my phone and I shamelessly stole it, like every tune on my playlist.


Joni whats-her-name is a hippie, who also decided to to cut her own throat and de-list from Spotify. I'm sure everyone trembled in fear with that news.

Neil obviously thinks he's still a heavyweight in these days - he is, in my book, but I don't financially support nor will I ever. He's a has-been, and carries no real weight.

I actually had to look up who Joni is and I'm happy to report that she's a no-talent hippie.

I'm not a fan of Spotify or Pandora or any streaming service because I loathe ads. Therefore I download all music to my phone and it streams to my vehicle or boombox bluetooth without that bullshit.

I think it's very interesting that Rumble just offered Joe Rogan a cool $100 million for 4 years if he makes the switch... and I think he might, after Spotify deleted 70 podcasts of Rogan's after this latest attack by leftists.
