Neil Young, some washed up geezer musician told Spotify to either remove his so called “music” or remove Joe Rogan’s podcasts. Rogan of course has been critical of COVID vaccines and treatment. So what happened? The old, washed up geezer Neil Young go his music pulled by Spotify as they decided to stick with Joe Rogan’s podcast instead of some washed up 60s hippie who’s music has been tuned out by Americans decade ago. Honestly, before this whole Spotify incident happened, I had never ever heard of the 60’s hippie Neil Young. Now fewer people will hear the crap he calls music, which is a great thing.
Spotify has sided with its podcast superstar over Neil Young.
The legendary folk singer gave the streaming behemoth an ultimatum earlier this week, saying he refused to allow his music on the same platform as Joe Rogan. The “Heart of Gold” singer accused Rogan and his podcast of spreading false information about COVID-19 vaccines.
Spotify reportedly paid more than $100 million deal to be the exclusive home of Rogan’s show. Young, meanwhile, stands to lose 60% of his streaming income from his defiant stance, he said in a statement on his website.
“We want all the world’s music and audio content to be available to Spotify users,” a spokesperson for the company told the Wall Street Journal. “With that comes great responsibility in balancing both safety for listeners and freedom for creators.”
