Some people get upset that people with a platform to speak and be heard by millions of people have doubts in our government and medical industries that has lied about the origins of the virus and the vaccines they have pushed (somebody is making lots of money) and their mandates that a lot doesn't make any sense.


For a guy like Neil Young, that for all his life has made millions of dollars and famous for questioning our government and capitalism to get anal about 1 voice with an opinion of a system he made his entire to question is the crime here.


He looks like a hippie undercover that talks and acts like a fed. I'm not anti-science. I have my doubts and how the medical industries are in bed with the government and then some people like Young and Stern and on the left are shocked that millions doubt the propaganda?

Some of these old hippies are getting so uptight they’re beginning to make Richard Nixon look like a groovy, laid back cat in comparison.

“There’s something creepy about someone who looks like a hippie and talks like a fed” -Jimmy Dore on Howard Stern

The same could be applied to Young and his ilk

Barry Manilow?

Please. Guys, just stick to your music. You're making yourselves look ridiculous.

Neil Young doesn't need Spotify. He makes enough money. Once a hippie, always a hippie. They have always taken a peaceful approach to protest, unlike people today. I don't understand what the bid deal is.

Anyway, I highly recommend reading this article from Spiked that perfectly summarizes the conflict, but here is a little taste (and I'm not referring to Young's former cocaine habit):


https://www.spiked-online.com/2022/0...or-censorship/


For me, it harkens back to something the great John Lydon (AKA Johnny Rotten - who ironically was forever heralded by Young in his classic "Hey Hey My My" tune) once said:


"I never thought I'd live to see the day when the right wing would become the cool ones giving the middle finger to the establishment, and the left wing become the sniveling self-righteous twatty ones going around shaming everyone." John Lydon aka. "Johnny Rotten The Sex Pistols

https://ifunny.co/picture/t-never-th...-day-2E1N2fj48


He's right you know.
Young isn't calling for Rogan to be banned in the USA and Canada.
He's asking his business partner to cease doing business with a guy he thinks has no integrity.

That's not censorhip.

Why is it you folks all want to shut down the NFL because you don't like the woke message and say that's not censorship but this is?

No artist NEEDS spotify.

Many don't use it.

I use spotify -- it's cheap and easy.

But if more artists start dropping I'll be shopping I guess.

UGH.

I don't care if Rogan is on Spotify -- that's not why I would leave. I have a choice to listen or not.

But I will leave if enough music isn't on Spotify.

We'll see how far this goes.
