    Rather have "Paul is dead and him walking barefoot on Abbey Road proves it" conspiracy theories than the ones Joe Rogan's Sandy Hook-truther buddies cook up.
    He's not a Sandy Hook hoax kind of guy.  That is just false.
    Didn’t say he was?

    no, he's not. spiritual said "buddies", as in Alex Jones. 
    Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer

    He's friend with that muck raker? I thought he just interviewed him?

    no, good friends. joe has admitted on his show, however, that he truly believes Alex has some mental health issues.

    Stephen Stills is on board with the boycott.  David Crosby said he would as well, but he sold his catalogue last year.  I think teh same is true for the Beatles and Bruce, if I'm not mistaken.

    Sorry, it was Nash, not Stephen.

    David Crosby, when responding to someone tweeting him, acknowledged it at least. Obviously he's been on a "sucking up to Neil" journey post his comments about Darryl Hannah.

    Bruce could also acknowledge it. But I guess, even if he would want to boycott Spotify he would have to bring up once again that he sold his songs. Which I think for all these sellers, is a bit of awkward to begin with -- and even more so when it shows how you've given up any power of your artistic and often political life's work.

    But Bruce did sell to Sony BMG I think. I would imagine a record label would listen to someone like Bruce (while he's alive). But maybe I'm naive.

    I guess that all depends on how much revenue from Bruce's songs that Sony gets from Spotify.  If it's small, then yeah they may listen.  If it's material, then they are staying out of it.

    Sony owns 2% of Spotify (UMG 3.5%), so they have stakes in seeing it succeed. Big labels aren't doing shit. I'm guessing Neil doesn't pull in a ton from streaming on Spotify for WB, so the Warners were like 'fine, whatever. Probably the best press you've had in a decade'.

    Wanna discuss mid 80s KISS with her, at length. And also how we can crush Spotify.

    I get the feeling this is becoming more about the pittance artists get from Spotify than about misinformation.

    Really?  Have you read the statement made by the artists?  I don't get that feeling at all.  This think it has been and still is about a famous podcaster spreading misinformation about a deadly disease.

    Joni has pretty much shied away from the public since...about 1976. Almost to the point of being a recluse for the last twenty years.
