Neil Young threatened to have his catalog pulled from Spotify if Spotify didn’t pull Joe Rogan from Spotify because of Rogan’s stance on treating COVID. Spotify is spending $100 million for Joe Rogan’s podcasts. They spend a lot less for Neil Young’s body of work. So Spotify is pulling Young’s music from its catalog. Oops.
Look at the entire picture of what is going on. When an entertainer has a body of work coming out, they make news just before or as their project is released. As for Young, he released an album in December 2021. Yea, I didn’t know either and I love Neil Young! I would actually be surprised if Young was trying to move some units. The guy is worth $200 million.
But Young has turned into his father. He made a fortune sticking it to the man with songs like “Ohio” “Southern Man” “This note’s for you” “War Song” and “ Rockin’ in the Free Word.” With him mad at Rogan and the alternate COVID remedies its like Neil would support Nixon, support the Vietnam War and George Wallace! Joe Rogan is not preventing anybody from doing anything. He is hosting a show giving an opinion. That’s it. But unfortunately Young drank the Kool Aid and probably believes the Fauci Ouchie is the only measure to fight COVID!
I lost a lot of respect for Young.
