Is this true? Just looked up the Hipgnosis, then the blackstone portion, then the appointment of the Ex-CEO of pfizer.
Regardless, not good seeing Blackstone tied to his name/music... ugh
If it's in YouTube you can take it to the bank.
lol more conspiracy theories. NY sold the cash flow to his music, true. NY was angry about spotifys lack of editorial standards, true. Rogan did a good job backing up guest claims with evidence feeding into his anti vax narrative, false.
Odd coincidence but a pretty tenuous theory since NY still controls the recordings and they have several bigger catalogs they could’ve used and Blackstone invests in all kinds of seemingly random crap. Also, Kindler hasn’t worked for Pfizer for a decade and was brought in as an advisor.
Perhaps you missed without naming names. How do you know I was posting about you unless you’re that egotistical to believe that everything is about you. But since you responded I guess I hit a nerve. Asking women to not throw us back into the stone ages is not directing anything at one particular person HOWEVER thank you for proving my point.
AND FINALLY IF YOU FEEL SHAME ITS NOT MY PROBLEM
This is very interesting and progressive double down - all ladies united under one opinion.
At no time did I ask anyone to change their opinion. I merely asked that when giving an opinion it’s best to post intelligently without anger.
If you’re going to comment on someone’s post take the time to actually read and comprehend the context.

Neil sold his music to HipGnosis before Blackstone purchased them, so he has no actual connection to blackstone. It is actually surprising that they agreed to let his little revenue stream be shut down temporarily due to the wishes of the artist.
When did America turn into an authoritarian country that wants to ban everything and everyone that has different views ?
When did America start over reacting and being hyperbolic to market forces exerting themselves on media outlets? Something that’s been happening since we’ve had media.

I don't know this artist. I looked for some verification of her leaving Spotify but did not find anything.
because it's a bad taste joke, aimed at someone who posted a song on youtube 10 years ago to mass mockery due to the generic lyrics and heavy use of autotune.

Thank you for posting this, I wonder how many will actually watch it…I have not listened to much Joe Rogan, but I will sure as hell will now. It’s so hysterical how hypocritical the rotten brain mafia is over all this stuff…Truly the twilight zone. Keep on Rockin in the FREE WORLD JOE!!! I am sure you will be more popular then ever with this nonsense…., just like how Obummer became the countries best Gun salesman….
You’re right about one thing. Exact same thing as Obama’s gun sales. The fear mongering works.
Well, we will just have to see if fear mongering works for Neil “Rockin the Free World” Young….
The irony when people reference this song trying to burn Neil is amusing.

Thread too long to read, though I did attempt a search to see if this has been posted. Seemed really odd to me that PJ didn't follow suit with Uncle Neil. Then I remembered EV has a new album about to drop... no way in hell he (or the band) gonna commercially hinder that so there you have it!
Would be weird for Pearl Jam as a group to leave, but Eddie Vedder solo to stay on for that sweet sweet Spotify first week streams.
Weird would be one way to put it... inconsistent, unprincipled, hypocritical are other words that come to mind.
Whatever happens it’s a lose lose with the bad faith argument crowd.
PJ pulls out of Spotify: “haha sheeple doing what daddy Neil tells them to do” They stay in: “haha sell out Pearl Jam only cares about money”

She had a YouTube video go viral .. I think the song was called Friday. I have no idea if she has any other hits…she made some decent coin. People laughed at her. She laughed all the way to the bank..

They don’t own the recordings.
I don't think I said or inferred that? Thanks though.

Just a little aside- here and on the other thread related to Spotify, I notice every now and then some comments labeling Neil Young a "hippie". That's amusing to me because it illustrates how little some here know about the man who has been variously, among other things, a folkie, a hippie, a punk rocker, a country bumpkin, a not very successful rockabilly revivalist, an activist but at times also flirted with being a conservative, a sometimes iconoclast, a syth-rock artist (briefly), a caretaker, and a writer.
Brush up, kids, lol!

I remember Neil on, I think it was Letterman, talking about his trains or his Lincvolt or something, and Dave called him a hippie, and Neil corrected him and said "rich hippie".

thank you for the constructive feedback to my inquiry, Jan 2021 was the purchase date for hipgnosis upon further research. October 2021 Blackrock/Hipgnosis merger.
must be part of the purchase agreement between NY/HIPg- for the shut down.

Let’s take a big step back to the year 1985 when Neil Young was still speaking his mind of the current conditions of the world. While Young was often looked up to as someone to spread a good message and a message of not selling out, he changed his tone pretty swiftly and became hated and problematic.
The AIDS pandemic was hitting an upswing and more and more cases came out. Neil Young didn’t read the science and took his own stance on the subject. Does this sound familiar? It should. Young blamed people who were homosexual for the pandemic to which, at this current time, Young has tried to sweep under the rug.

How is anyone still joking about her, anyway? What's next - Where's the Beef?

Straight from their website. Cant locate Kindler on their mgmt listing currently though. Advisory role, could be why.

HE IS JUST A PAWN IN THEIR GAMETO SILENCE JOE ROGAN AND SELL MORE OF THOSE VACCINES THAT THE GOVERNMENT IS FORCING US TO TAKE?
