    I didn’t even know young was on Spotify…I thought he was opposed to digital music, or wanted better quality digital music and was busy working in his lab on his pongo music player…

Not both.

    Jesus Christ. I didn't think he'd have that many listeners.

    I actually think he's a good interviewer, but he rarely has anyone on that interests me. The only episodes I've listened to are James Hetfield, Josh Homme, Anthony Jeselnik, Bernie Sanders, and Undertaker from WWE. All were great interviews. If he had more guys on like that, I'd probably subscribe. 

    Early on, I like some of his interviews but eventually got tired of his narcissistic ego.  And now with him spreading false information about COVID, I have zero interest in listening to his self-centered b.s..

    I just can't believe how many people would take his medical advice. Wasn't it Aaron Rogers that said he contacted Rogan about how to deal with Covid himself?

    Most unvaccinated people will get through covid ok on their own but what is dangerous is them running to get ivermectin once diagnosed and then telling other people that it cured them. They would have been "cured" anyway so they perpetuate the myth.

    My sister in law and her husband both have covid now. He made a trip to the ER yesterday because he couldn't breath. They prescribed him some antibiotics and something else to help his breathing and sent him home. Sister in law insists that she will be fine because she takes zinc.

    This is ridiculous imo. Are we really to the point where we have to babysit everyone? Tell them who not to listen to and who to listen to regarding this fuckin virus? “Waaahhh I don’t like what he’s saying. It’s either me or him”. He sounds like an elderly baby.

    You mean like having to pass laws to make people wear seatbelts? Or helmets? Or put labels on cigarettes letting you know that they kill you?

    Yes we are at that point.  We have been at this point for quite some time.

    I’m more upset about the guy with YouTube channels dedicated to debunking his mass misinformation and explaining away his wrongly applied truths. 

    Not that it will amount to anything but NY is going about it pretty much the only way he can.

    Not the same to me as being told who to listen to on a streaming service. I know you don’t like Rogan. Me, I don’t listen to Rogan or Neil Young. Reading the story comes off as ridiculous to me. That’s my opinion. “It’s either me or him” I can’t help but laugh at that.

    I don’t care. I’m stating my opinion. Same like you’ve been doing all morning. Clashing with anyone who thinks different about your precious  Neil Young.

    I wouldn't say that I don't like Rogan. I just don't like how he presents his fucked up version of facts related to the public health.

    I also find the “it’s him or me!” stance to be spoken as a petulant child.

    I know, I know! Flog me now :lol:

    I never gave Rogan a second thought until all this…

    I started watching some of his podcast, he has some good guest.  I like the format.  

    I enjoyed his Elon Musk and especially Dan Aykroyd (worth watching if you find the paranormal interesting)…

    He is going no where…

    Interesting take, Nick.  He sounds to me more like a wise elder saying, "Fuck this guy for spreading information that is harmful to others," and then using his position as an well respected artist to make a difference- not because that is more important than his art (he has stated previously that he is a musician first before being an activist), but simply because he is in a position to do so, because he has the ability to use his visibility to do something positive.  Damn, I wish I had that opportunity.

    I was wondering this, too. I feel like I relatively recently couldn't find much of his stuff on streaming services. Was surprised to see how much of his catalog is up on Spotify and Tidal.

    didnt young sell the rights to his catalog?
    that would mean the owner of those rights has the say doesn't  it?

    From what I can tell he sold 50% of the publishing rights so who knows what that means for how distribution decisions are made
