Neil Young Has Threatened To Leave Spotify Because They Allow Joe Rogan To Spread Vaccine Misinformation: ‘They Can Have Rogan Or Young’ MATT PRIGGE TWITTER JANUARY 24, 2022 Who would you prefer: the weakest link on the ‘90s sitcom NewsRadio or the legend who wrote “Cinnamon Girl”? That’s the choice Neil Young is giving Spotify. The music streamer is home to dozens and dozens of Neil Young releases, from his self-titled 1969 debut to last year’s excellent Crazy Horse reunion Barn. It’s also home to the podcast The Joe Rogan Experience, whose host regularly spouts misinformation about the two-years-old-and-counting pandemic. Now Young is taking a stand. As per Rolling Stone, the rocker wrote a letter to his management and label, sking them to remove some of the greatest songs ever recorded from the streamer that also allows a guy who used to force people to eat bugs to help make a public health crisis even worse. “I am doing this because Spotify is spreading fake information about vaccines — potentially causing death to those who believe the disinformation being spread by them,” Young wrote. “Please act on this immediately today and keep me informed of the time schedule.” “I want you to let Spotify know immediately TODAY that I want all my music off their platform,” he charged. “They can have [Joe] Rogan or Young. Not both.” Young is the latest figure to come out against Rogan, who has fed his 11 million subscribers nonsense that is sometimes debunked on his show by his guests. Earlier this month, 250 doctors signed an open letter, begging Spotify to “to take action against the mass-misinformation events which continue to occur on its platform” by implementing a policy against misinformation. Meanwhile, the day before Young came out against Rogan, the U.S. saw almost 700,000 new COVID cases, as well as over 2,000 COVID-related deaths. In the meantime, you better take one last spin of Everybody Knows This is Nowhere, On the Beach, Tonight’s the Night, maybe even Everybody’s Rockin’ before it vamooses, all for a guy who’d rather take medication also used on horses than get a free and effective vaccine. (Via Rolling Stone) Neil Young is a Warner Music . Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group. uproxx.com/indie/neil-young-spotify-leaving-joe-rogan-vaccine-misinformation/

Neil Young is unAmerican. He does not believe in freedom nor freedom of speech unless his own. I choose Rogan!
Oh and Neil would you please also say that you don't want to live in the same country as Rogan please?
Bye!

Rogan has more followers than all MSM combined. I doubt Spotify will dump him. Plus Spotify gave him a fat contract. I imagine it will come as a shock to Neil that he just isn't relevant anymore. AMF!

Why Neil Young (and Most Celebrities) Are Fascists LONDON, ENGLAND - JULY 12: Neil Young and Crazy Horse perform on stage at British Summer Time Festival>> at Hyde Park on July 12, 2014 in London, United Kingdom. (Photo by Tristan Fewings/Getty Images) Tristan Fewings/Getty Images
Why Neil Young (and Most Celebrities) Are Fascists John Nolte 26 Jan 2022 Why would an anti-establishment hippie like Neil Young suddenly turn fascist and want to blacklist Joe Rogan to protect the establishment from criticism? Why did Sean Penn embrace a left-wing Nazi like Hugo Chavez? Why is left-wing Hollywood sucking up to China’s Nazis? Why does a 60s icon like Cher call for the imprisonment of those she disagrees with? Why does a free spirit like Bette Midler demand all women stop having sex with men? Why does a Whoopi Goldberg rhetorically lynch an innocent man? Why does television’s most famous anti-establishment liberal now protect the establishment by accusing those he disagrees with of “sedition?” Neil Young is behaving like Joe McCarthy. Meathead is behaving like Richard Nixon. Whoopi is behaving like the Klan. Bette is behaving like the Church lady. Hollywood is behaving like Vichy France. What’s going on? How is this possible? After all, for most of our lives, we’ve recognized the artists and artistic establishment that emerged from the sixties and seventies as free speech warriors, as classical liberals, as envelope pushers, as the very “heroes” who put an end to McCarthyism, the prudish Moral Majority, the Production Code, and old-fashioned censorship. But look at them now! They’re the ones calling for blacklists, censorship, prudery, and political arrests! They’re the ones kissing China’s Nazi ass like another Mussolini. Well, of course, they are. Don’t you see that this is who these people always were? Neil Young and Rob Reiner and Bette Midler and Sean Penn, and the rest were never about freedom. They were never true liberals. They were never hippies. And they were certainly never free spirits. Instead, they were and are only one thing — toxic narcissists. And what do narcissists want more than anything else? They want to get their way. And if they don’t get their way, what do they do? They have a tantrum and scream about how everyone deserves to get hit by a train. There is nothing more malevolent or un-American than a narcissist because a narcissist will try to destroy anyone who doesn’t give them what they want. A narcissist loves fascism because fascism forces everyone to behave and live a certain way. Sean Penn loved Hugo Chavez because Sean Penn wants to be Hugo Chavez because Sean Penn is a narcissist who wants the power to control everyone because that’s what a narcissist is. Hollywood loves China’s Nazis for the same reasons. The following rule is not a perfect rule… It should be acknowledged that there are plenty of right and left-leaning celebrities who are not narcissists, who are well-rounded and grounded adults. But, in general, celebrity (for reasons I should not have to explain) attracts narcissists like the stink of Jeff Zucker’s ass attracts Jake Tapper’s nose. This is especially true in the later generations; these dilettantes who know nothing of real life because they grew up in a show business family. The same is true of the news media, another rotting institution poisoned by narcissists who immediately turn fascist when they do not get their way. Joe McCarthy only wished he could have blacklisted as effectively as CNN. You see, Neil Young and Rob Reiner and Bette Midler never believed in free speech or freedom or live and let live or individual liberty or opposed McCarthyism and racial terrorism… That was all bullshit. What they wanted was the right to do whatever they wanted to do. They were never fighting for a principle or for anyone else. It was always all about them. They simply hid this selfish crusade behind words like “freedom” and “justice.” Beneath it all, just below the surface, they were always fascists willing to lash out with prudery, censorship, lynch mobs, and blacklists, ready and willing to become the Moral Majority, to reinstate the Production Code, and ape Joe McCarthy if it meant getting what they want. And now we see that because it’s right out in the open. Narcissists are bad people, and these are bad people. Very bad people.

At first I thought what an idiot. Then it dawned on me that he sold 50% of his music rights away. So who is he to demand Spotify kick Rogan off. Well, it looks like Neil Young got his way. *************************************************************************************************** Spotify to remove Neil Young's music after his Joe Rogan ultimatum
The "Harvest Moon" singer called on the streaming service to either stop the spread of COVID vaccine misinformation on Rogan's podcast or take down his songs. By Jessica Wang January 26, 2022 at 06:36 PM EST Spotify users better get in one last listen of Harvest Moon. The streaming service is in the process of removing Neil Young's music catalog after he published an open letter Monday (since-deleted) with an ultimatum: Stop the spread of COVID-19 vaccine disinformation on Joe Rogan's podcast or lose his music. A Spotify spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday that Young's music was being pulled from the platform, citing the "great responsibility" to balance "both safety for listeners and freedom for creators." "We want all the world's music and audio content to be available to Spotify users," the spokesperson said. "With that comes great responsibility in balancing both safety for listeners and freedom for creators. We have detailed content policies in place and we've removed over 20,000 podcast episodes related to COVID since the start of the pandemic." The statement concluded, "We regret Neil's decision to remove his music from Spotify, but hope to welcome him back soon." Representatives for Spotify and Young did not immediately respond to EW's request for comment. In Young's letter, addressed to his management and record label, he referenced The Joe Rogan Experience, which has been criticized for promoting conspiracy theories and false information about vaccines. (A coalition of scientists and medical professionals also recently published an open letter calling on Spotify to stop the spread of Rogan's "baseless" claims.) "I am doing this because Spotify is spreading fake information about vaccines — potentially causing death to those who believe the disinformation being spread by them," Young wrote, according Rolling Stone. "Please act on this immediately today and keep me informed of the time schedule." He added, "With an estimated 11 million listeners per episode, JRE, which is hosted exclusively on Spotify, is the world's largest podcast and has tremendous influence. Spotify has a responsibility to mitigate the spread of misinformation on its platform, though the company presently has no misinformation policy." ew.com/music/spotify-to-remove-neil-young-music-joe-rogan-ultimatum/

So when neil young becomes a sore loser, he calls upon other marxist hippie fascists to join him...
www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2022/01/27/neil-young-asks-artists-to-join-his-anti-spotify-crusade-after-joe-rogan-ultimatum-failed/Neil Young Asks Artists to Join His Anti-Spotify Crusade After Joe Rogan Ultimatum Failed
Alana Mastrangelo 27 Jan 2022 Left-wing rocker Neil Young is now pushing for other artists to pull their music from Spotify, calling the audio streaming service a “damaging force” that is causing “24 year old’s” to end up on “the wrong side of the truth.” Young’s call comes after Spotify said it would pull the singer’s music from its platform following his demand that the company either remove his music or blacklist Joe Rogan and his popular podcast. On Wednesday, Young continued his attacks against Spotify on his website, claiming that the company “has recently become a very damaging force,” and urged others to join him in removing their music from the platform. “I sincerely hope that other artists and record companies will move off the Spotify platform and stop supporting Spotify’s deadly misinformation about Covid.” In his diatribe, the former Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young member also suggested that content needs to be censored on Spotify because most of its listeners are “24 years old,” which makes them “impressionable.” “Most of the listeners hearing the unfactual, misleading and false COVID information on SPOTIFY are 24 years old, impressionable and easy to swing to the wrong side of the truth,” the singer wrote. Spotify represents 60 percent of the streaming of his music to listeners around the world, added Young, who went on to claim that he was “losing 60% of my world wide streaming income in the name of Truth.” Young also thanked Warner Brothers for standing with him and “taking the hit.” Before the removal, Young had 2.4 million followers and over six million monthly listeners on Spotify, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal. At the time of Young’s music being pulled, a Spotify spokesperson said the following in a statement: We want all the world’s music and audio content to be available to Spotify users. With that comes great responsibility in balancing both safety for listeners and freedom for creators. We have detailed content policies in place and we’ve removed over 20,000 podcast episodes related to COVID since the start of the pandemic. We regret Neil’s decision to remove his music from Spotify, but hope to welcome him back soon.

W.H.O. Chief Backs Neil Young Against Joe Rogan: Demands End to ‘Infodemic’
Simon Kent 28 Jan 2022 The globalist World Health Organization (W.H.O.) announced Thursday it sided with left-wing rocker Neil Young in his stand-off with podcaster Joe Rogan and streaming giant Spotify. The move came after Spotify said it would pull the singer’s work from its platform following his demand the company either remove his music or blacklist Joe Rogan and his popular podcast. W.H.O. chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has now entered the fray. He announced he backed the veteran musician and thanked him for “standing up against misinformation and inaccuracies” around Covid vaccinations before stressing “we all have a role to play to end this pandemic and infodemic.” “@neilyoungnya, thanks for standing up against misinformation and inaccuracies around #COVID19 vaccination,” Tedros tweeted. “Public and private sector, in particular #socialmedia platforms, media, individuals — we all have a role to play to end this pandemic and infodemic.” The Joe Rogan Experience is the top-rated podcast on Spotify, which holds exclusive rights to the program. On Wednesday, Young thanked his record label for “standing with me in my decision to pull all my music from Spotify”, and encouraged other musicians to do the same, as Breitbart News reported. “Spotify has become the home of life-threatening COVID misinformation,” he said on his website. In response, Spotify said it worked to balance “both safety for listeners and freedom for creators” and had removed more than 20,000 podcast episodes related to COVID-19, in accordance with its “detailed content policies”. “We regret Neil’s decision to remove his music from Spotify, but hope to welcome him back soon,” Spotify said in a statement. The intervention by the W.H.O. chief in the Neil Young dispute is not the first time Tedros has rushed to embrace the entertainment industry. Director General of the WHO Dr. Tedros Adhanom speaks onstage during the 2017 Global Citizen Festival: For Freedom. For Justice. For All. in Central Park on September 23, 2017 in New York City. (Theo Wargo/Getty Images for Global Citizen) Lady Gaga applauded him in 2020 after President Donald Trump announced the U.S. will pause funding of the U.N. body over its bungled handling of the Chinese coronavirus pandemic. Tedros was quick to reply on social media by citing the approval for his work by entertainer Lady Gaga. The United States’ pause of funding for W.H.O. was made at the direct request of Trump, who said the organisation was promoting Chinese “disinformation” about the virus. A very good call with @ladygaga. I thanked her for her continuing efforts to show compassion & kindness to the world. She is ready to support @who in any way possible in the fight against #COVID19. Together! — Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus (@drtedros) March 28, 2020 The U.S. is the single largest donor to the U.N. subsidiary organization, providing more than $400 million in 2019, roughly 15 per cent of its budget. President Joe Biden has since authorized the return of U.S. taxpayer dollars to the organization.

Most recently, Stern suggested that unvaccinated Americans should be denied medical treatment. “If you don’t get it, in my America, all hospitals would be closed to you. You’re going to go home and die. That is what you should get,” Stern said. Maybe some doctor should decide not to treat Stern because of Stern's views, beliefs, and big mouth. Doctors take oaths to save lives. Politics should have nothing to do their oath. When we are at war don't our doctors serving on the front lines care for and treat our enemies. Doctors and nurses should not be discriminating against people.

In his diatribe, the former Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young member also suggested that content needs to be censored on Spotify because most of its listeners are “24 years old,” which makes them “impressionable.” Oh, good insult listeners. Way to go Neil. Spotify represents 60 percent of the streaming of his music to listeners around the world, added Young, who went on to claim that he was “losing 60% of my world wide streaming income in the name of Truth.” Poor baby. You are going to take a hit for this one. Before the removal, Young had 2.4 million followers and over six million monthly listeners on Spotify, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal. Out of your six million how many live in mommy's basement? Dude, after the Aids misinformation and beagle I don't believe anything out of Fauci's mouth.
