Canadian-American 70s performer Neil Percival Young has taken a stand against free speech - demanding Spotify pull his entire music catalog from their platform unless they silence podcaster Joe Rogan for spreading "fake information" about vaccines.

In an email to Warner Records, Young said Spotify "has a responsibility to mitigate the spread of misinformation on its platform," adding "I want you to let Spotify know immediately TODAY that I want all my music off their platform."

"They can have Rogan or Young. Not both," the raging liberal wrote.

Neil Young has threatened to remove his music from Spotify because he believes the streaming platform enables podcaster Joe Rogan to spread ‘fake information’ about vaccines.

https://on.ft.com/32wPpH7 

Young’s letter was a response to a December podcast in which Rogan interviewed Robert Malone, a controversial virologist who researched messenger RNA vaccines and is now sceptical of them. On the podcast, Malone told Rogan that US hospitals are financially incentivised to falsely report deaths as being caused by coronavirus. Rogan has also on his podcast encouraged “healthy” young people not to get a Covid-19 vaccine. -FT

Rogan notably inked a deal with Spotify in May of 2020 worth more than $100 million. Four months later, Spotify employees threatened to strike unless the company agreed to remove past Rogan podcast episodes with 'controversial guests,' and give employees direct editorial oversight over the Joe Rogan Experience podcast. This did not happen.

That would include the ability to directly edit or remove sections of upcoming interviews, or block the uploading of episodes deemed problematic.

The employees also demanded the ability to add trigger warnings, corrections, and references to fact-checked articles on topics discussed by Rogan in the course of his multi-hour discussions. -DigitalMusicNews

Hilariously, Spotify never brought it up with Rogan.

How much of that 100,000,000.00 that they gave Joe do you think he'll use as Kleenex over Neil's comments and will he miss the dollar?

I would choose nails on a chalkboard over Neil Young.

Poor Daryl Hannah

Plastic surgery / Botox gone bad? 🤔

Naw...Drafter saw her boobs.

Exactly.

F-ck Neil Young. His "music" blows fkn chunks, anyway...

Censorship is out of control. Biden has an easy fix. Send the dissidents to Gitmo to dissappear or the North most section of Alaska to never to return. Very efficient.

I listen mostly to early Neil up until "Time Fades Away" but there are a few albums that I don't care for at all. "Live Rust" is a definite favorite and for some odd reason I don't mind his 3-chord playing and guitar solos that sound the same over and over.

As far as what he said, frank, I don't give a rat's azz about his views, they're totally irrelevant to me (...as are most musicians, actors and athletes...).

I hate double standards. Burn a body at a crematorium and you're being respectful to a friend. Do it at home and you're destroying evidence.

I have extreme mixed feelings about Neil Young.

JR not some much he’s a cool cat.

I'm a NY fan. I don't care one way or another about Joe Rogan. I don't give a rats azz about either of their opinions about anything. I don't use Spotify. I like pie!

What I'm saying is I don't give $hit about any of this.

Man I could go for some pie about now 😟

I had apple pie for breakfast...8-[

100 proof?

Man-0-DAYYYYY

THIS CIGARBID FORUM IS F.U.L.L. OF

NEIL YOUNG HATERS....

I LIKE NEIL YOUNGS MUSIC...
SCREW ALL YOU 3 CHORD haters...

Young had a feud with Skynryd.

Skynyrd's plane went down.

Joe Rogan, watch your back.

You like Neil Young because he sounds like a dumpster slamming repeatedly!

Neil young should stay out of politics...

But he suffers (LIKE ALL OVER PAID AND OVER PROTECTED
MUSICIANS WHO HAVE RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES THAT VISUAL ARTISTS CAN ONLY DREAM OF....)
FROM MUSICIANS TRYING TO CONTROL THEIR ART AFTER IT WAS SOLD AND USED...

VISUAL ARTISTS SELL THEIR ART ONLY ONCE...
AND EVEN THEN THE GALLERY TAKES 50% OF THE $$$
SALE AMOUNT...VISUAL ARTISTS HAVE NO UNION OR LAWYERS HANGING ON LIKE LAMPREYS...

BUT MUSICIANS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN CODDLED AND CONJOLED BY LAWYERS AND RECORD COMPANIES AND GET PAID EVERYTIME THEIR ART IS PLAYED....
WHICH IS TOTAL B.U.N.K. IN MY BOOK

I SAY F.U.C.K. ALL MUSICIANS, THEY MAKE WAY TO MUCH MONEY FOR SONGS THAT TAKE 1 HOUR TO WRITE AND
8 HOURS TO RECORD....

IT WOULD TAKE ME OVER 60-100 TO MAKE A PIECE OF MY ARTWORK...I NEVER MADE MORE THAN $750.00 SELLING A SINGLE PIECE...THEN THE GALLERY TOOK $375.00...

DO THE MATH...

I MADE $3.75 AN HOUR ( only once and never another dime...ever) and never got residuals, playtime $$$, number of plays $$$ , kickback money from radio stations, And the half a dozen more ways they rape the system with their rights and whatever $$$ they get daily, monthly and yearly for sitting on their asses , drinking booze, smoking pot and whining about people not paying to use their music...or whining that somebody the disagree with should not be allot to play their music....

Shut the f**k up you overpriviledged crybaby's....

Maybe not:
