    Neil today: "I sincerely hope that other artists and other record companies will move off the Spotify platform..."

    Now, that's a classic dick move.

    In the latest news, Neil Young encourages everyone to move to Mars with him in 2023 because we should not share a planet with Joe Rogan.

    He had Sanjay Gupta on specifically to check him on this stuff. I listened to the whole episode and, ironically, Gupta only did ok. But it's not like he's adverse to having someone prominent on to take the other side.

    Unfortunately we’re at a point where lies and misrepresenting things is a valid side to an issue.

    Not Neil’s finest hour and as I said a total fools errand.  Im all for artists taking a stand, what I don’t get is this idea of, hey I dislike such and such, let’s make sure no one can listen to such and such since I have an issue with them.  Spotify is the most popular steaming service in the world, Joe is the most popular podcaster in the world, his contract resembles a movie budget or an athletes contract.  The idea Neil took this approach, I gotta say, I don’t get it or understand his thought process.  Neil is a legend and one of the Goats but he’s just out of his depth in this one.

    Is there a disclaimer before Rogan's show saying don't take any medical advice from the host?

    No, but joes never posed as a doctor or someone with medical training.  There’s no disclaimer before Trevor Noah or Colberts show either.

    Trevor Noah or Colbert are not telling people to not trust doctors or science. Or telling them to take other stuff instead of.

    Neil saw the letter signed by mix of doctors, chiropractors, med students and gym teachers. Then double checked their arguments via clips on YouTube. Ignored actual context, ignored proper debate and decided to cancel Rogan. Just like most. So much for keep on rocking in the free world.

    At no point did Neil ask Spotify to cancel Rogan. He basically just said “if Rogan is there, then I’m out,” and pulled his music. He left knowing that they wouldn’t cancel Rogan.

    That’s a great example of someone standing up for what he believes in. Neil made a stand that will cost him and his label a lot of money, but he felt strongly enough about the lies and misinformation that are being spread to do it.

    This is so silly. Whether you like joe or not who cares? He’s a podcaster not a politician haha just don’t listen to him. 

    I love Neil young but if PJ pulled their catalogue based on sharing the platform with joe… well I’ll just say I think kid rock is on Spotify lol

    Need is say more. Asinine to judge a music platform based on their artists beliefs. Imo

    I don't like people bullying Pearl Jam to take their music off or else they're all of a sudden agreeing with Rogan. They're just going to ignore Pearl Jam's 30 years of activism? Also the people they need to ask are the Drakes and the Weeknds of the music industry.

    The problem with the people who want Rogan to say misinformation is that they also want the schools to teach an opposing side to the events in history. Like saying the "holocaust never happened" and that "slavery wasn't that bad". And that's wrong. And then where does it stop?
