“I want you to let Spotify know immediately TODAY that I want all my music off their platform,” he continued. “They can have [Joe] Rogan or Young. Not both.”
“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,” he wrote. “Please act on this immediately today and keep me informed of the time schedule.”
So perhaps Young already knew that Spotify would side with Rogan over an aging singer/songwriter. I have to say that as a someone who is personally a hack of a singer songwriter (my original material would barely make one album) that I have always respected the musical abilities of Young. Some of his stuff was pure genius and his live guitar playing and singing back in the day was truly phenomenal. Just take the time to watch this video and you will know what I mean.
I thought he went off the beaten track and like many aging musicians started pushing his political views into his music, but such is life. There was a time when you could write about what you believe without bringing the actual partisan party politics of present day into things. The musicians of the sixties and seventies were political in terms of pushing certain beliefs. Heck even the Beatles had beliefs you could relate to without having to feel like it was liberal versus conservative deal.
But those days appear long gone for people like Young. I find it sad that such a rare talent would (at the end of his days of relevance) pick a fight with the guy who has the most listened to Podcast in the world.

He did that because of people like you Scott.
Neil Young's music will be removed from Spotify at his request, following the veteran rock star's protest over the streaming service airing a popular podcast that featured a figure criticized for spreading COVID misinformation.
I saw all four of them in Staples.
Well I heard Mister Young sing about her
Well I heard ol' Neil put her down
Well I hope Neil Young will remember
A southern man don't need him around anyhow
Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet home Alabama
Lord I'm comin' home to you
In Birmingham they love the governor (boo-hoo-hoo)
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth
Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet home Alabama (oh yeah)
Lord I'm comin' home to you
Here I come, Alabama
Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
And they've been known to pick a song or two (yes they do)
Lord they get me off so much
They pick me up when I'm feelin' blue
Now how about you?
Neil Young's music will be removed from Spotify
I’ve never had Neil on anything I’d pay for
Shocking
Date Apr 1, 2002
Steve Stills and David Crosby walked past our table about 15 feet away.
There were celebrities everywhere...
A friend had a suite with an open bar on the celebrity floor.
It's available on Amazon music
I’ve never had Neil on anything I’d pay for
Shocking
Me either. I've always considered him to be one of the biggest assholes of all time in rock music. And a dumb fuck too. I don't pay any attention to Rogan at all and even I'm aware of his $100 MILLION deal with Spotify.
I’ve never had Neil on anything I’d pay for
BWAAAAASAAAAAAA!!!! But you buy the trash of the Ramons!!!!!!! LOLOLOLO
Stills was and is a major talent.
Who are the Ramons fat man?
Dumbass
Re: the thread video
Old Man
Old man, look at my life
I'm a lot like you were
Old man, look at my life
I'm a lot like you were
Old man, look at my life
Twenty-four, and there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two
Love lost, such a cost
Give me things that don't get lost
Like a coin that won't get tossed
Rolling home to you
Old man, take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
The whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
And you can tell that's true
Lullabies, look in your eyes
Run around the same old town
Doesn't mean that much to me
To mean that much to you
I've been first and last
Look at how the time goes past
But I'm all alone at last
Rolling home to you
Old man, take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
The whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
And you can tell that's true
Old man, look at my life
I'm a lot like you were
Old man, look at my life
I'm a lot like you were
Neil ponders age, sex and death in a ballad for his groundsman. As he explains during his 1971 Massey Hall performance in Toronto, this song is about the foreman who lived on Neil’s ranch – “he came with the place when I bought it.”
The song was released on his 1972 album Harvest. James Taylor and Linda Ronstadt both contributed vocals.
In the documentary Heart of Gold, Neil said the following about the song:
About that time when I wrote (“Heart of Gold”), and I was touring, I had also – just, you know, being a rich hippie for the first time – I had purchased a ranch, and I still live there today. And there was a couple living on it that were the caretakers, an old gentleman named Louis Avila and his wife Clara. And there was this old blue Jeep there, and Louis took me for a ride in this blue Jeep. He gets me up there on the top side of the place, and there’s this lake up there that fed all the pastures, and he says, “Well, tell me, how does a young man like yourself have enough money to buy a place like this?” And I said, “Well, just lucky, Louie, just real lucky.” And he said, “Well, that’s the darndest thing I ever heard.” And I wrote this song for him.
After Harvest, music fans begged him to write more songs like it but he refused, not wanting to duplicate anything He had already done.
But you buy the trash of the Ramons!!!!
It's a punk rock band that you put in the microwave with about a cup of water and it is an unsatisfying meal... led by a skinny as a noodle lead singer Joey Ramon.
Yeah, I get it... the noodle is spelled Ramen but the band was being ironic and clever with the spelling.
KD has a degree in economics from KU.
You're a drunken wife beater who drank himself to a liver transplant and who is now confined to a nursing home.
I think I'll follow KD's guidance instead of your alcoholic plagiarisms, thanks."
Thank RRB.
"Passing tests is not proof of intelligence..." Alky
RRB , skool Alky , again.
Roger has education envy.
I love Rogers posts on the Bidenomics Build Back Broker policies have failed.
Spectacularly wrong on purpose by using his own posts .
"Sleepy Joe Biden has exceeded even President Ronald Reagan's recovery.
Yet , Alky posted.
BIDEN = 5.7 % rise
Reagan = 7.2 % rise
Roger always says "people like you Scott" and it always makes me think... you mean people who scored 400 points higher than you on the SAT and graduated from college with tangible degrees?

I guess you don't remember your post about Styx and your love of the Ramones........asshole!!!!!!
Nope. I have never written a post about Styx (whom I saw in concert) and while I appreciate the Ramones and loved Rock and Roll High School, I am not exactly in "love" with that band.
Either way... the Ramones are a classic band who stands out historically. Like it or not.
Gee CH...I thought you had a brain....that comment was aimed at shorty....who just had a very senior moment with his feigning dumb on Ramones........BTW....they stood out like sore thumbs......BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
No fatman you fucked up the Ramones name
You dumbass
Yeah shorty.....I forgot the e doesn't change the fact you had a senior alcohol moment......BWAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
Ch claims to have so many degrees, yet constantly makes grammar mistakes. Strange.
