Neil Young Wants His Music Off Spotify Over Joe Rogan Vaccine Misinformation. Whose Side Are You On?

[supercutebutt]

Neil or Joe? VOTE!

“They can have Rogan or Young. Not both,” Young wrote in an open letter to his management team.

Only a mindless twat like you sticks to Fauci's debunked dogma.

I was and still am a fan of Neil Young but it is sad to see him trying to enforce debunked Fauci dogma. The Neil Young I grew up with was all about rebellion and free speech. He practically went to war with David Geffen when that creep tried to strong-arm him into sticking to the hit parade and not trying anything experimental, putting out a bizarre techno album (Trans) followed by a rockabilly doo-wop album (Everybody's Rockin) just to spite Mr. Geffen. He dissed Michael Jackson for selling himself into slavery to Pepsi Cola, and championed loud punk weirdos like Sonic Youth, spooking out the hippies by bringing them on tour with him and shocking them with his noise rock experiment Ark-Weld. Now he's trying to cancel Joe Rogen for not bowing to Fauci's fraud. Somebody should have reminded the brilliant old bastard that it's better to burn out than fade away. Maybe getting involved with a Commiewood leftist like Darryl Hannah warped him. It's sad anyway.

[supercutebutt]

Neil Young had polio as a child because he caught the disease just prior to the availability of the polio vaccine. So he understands the important of medical science. It's not his fault you joined a weirdo lie cult. Your obsession with Dr. Fauci shows that someone (Rand Paul?) has used lies to warp your mind. And you aren't bright enough to to distinguish between what's right and what's wrong. It is sad. I feel bad for you. :(

[loveslongnails]

Neil's not trying to cancel anyone. He said he wasn't willing to share his music on the same platform, so make a choice. Spotify said go, we're not taking down Joe, so that's what he did. I don't hear Neil campaigning to get Rogan off the air or censor his opinions elsewhere.

Whatever you think about Fauci, there's more than overwhelming evidence that the vaccine works for a lot of people. It's not a cure, wasn't supposed to be. If you're trying to spread the myth that the vaccine itself has no value for anyone, talk about sad.

As for DH, yes she's a flake, but you also sound like a guy who thinks anyone the least bit "liberal" or not conservatively stupid, is a commie. I am forced to agree with supercutebutt's summation.

[Curmudgeon]

Yah, and how IS that 4th booster working out for you? This is NOT Polio. That was a one shot vaccine that actually *worked*. What Pfizer and their paid for politicians were pushing *did not*.

[loveslongnails]

Working great

[supercutebutt]

@Curmudgeon I've had three shots that cost me $0 and I'm alive & well, my doofy friend. :)

I also have Moderna $tock :)

[OpenClose]

Wait wait wait. So he is trying to remove himself from Spotify because Spotify also hosts Joe Rogan, who occasionally hosts anti-vax conspiracy nuts?

I mean I understand wanting to protest the people he hosts, or him for platforming them. (He's no worse the Oprah or The View, in my opinion).

But to protest a platform because it platforms someone who platforms someone who platforms anti-vax conspiracies?

Iean you do you. But at some point people will boycott breathing because it was also something Hitler did.

[Oigit]

I'd like to say I'm on Neils side. Because the entire mess could be a wakeup call for some people. Because given how messed up the music industry is the guy or any artist in general does not really own their music. The record labels that put out the music pretty much own it at this point. So despite an artist writing and preforming the music, it isn't theirs. It's like painting something with brand x's paint and that company owning your painting due to them using their paint.

[beernbacon69]

Joe Rogan... even if what he is saying is wrong it's free speech and Neil Young can fuck off. Not to mention he's a horrible singer and I've never liked his music, too whiny and bitchy and it all sounds the same. As Lynyrd Skynyrd said, "A Southern man don't need him around anyhow"... and I think that applies to anyone. I'm glad Spotify didn't cave into Neil's bullshit and cancelled him instead!

[supercutebutt]

I see. So you only like freedom of expression when it's bullshit YOU like. LOL. U R a hypocrite!
Neil is free to not be a part of Spotify just like you are free to not take part in using your brain to think. :)

[beernbacon69]

You can twist it however you want, but Young tried to suppress Rogan's free speech and got cancelled himself which I think is funny. I think Neil may have just been trying to make himself somewhat relevant again and failed. I use my brain every day to think as part of my job... nice deflection though. I have my own opinion on it and if you don't like it that's your problem not mine.

[supercutebutt]

You fail at logic. Neil said he would leave if they kept Rogan on the platform. Spotify is free to run shitty podcasts and Neil Young is free to pull his music off of there for whatever reason he likes. And you are free to cancel Young because you are a hypocrite who 100% believes in cancelling people even when you say you are against it.

[beernbacon69]

@supercutebutt actually I'm an engineer so my logic is pretty solid. As I said in my initial post, NY's music is crap in my opinion and I've never liked it... or him. I'm not cancelling him at all, just saying... who cares.

[supercutebutt]

For a person who doesn't care, you sure have posted a lot of words on this question.

[beernbacon69]

Yet again your words, not mine... I never said I didn't care.

[DJB72]

My guess is 30 years from now people will play Young's music and say "joe who?"

[Sargentcaptain]

Anyone remember when Young was cool and was singing songs about freedom, yeah, good old days... very old days.

[supercutebutt]

So you prefer the freedom to spread BS that gets people killed? LOL. All I know is Neil is alive and Meat Loaf is dead. The math isn't hard to figure out.

[Sargentcaptain]

Freedom of speech trumps all and people are responsible for their own decisions. Besides, what did Rogan say exactly?

[supercutebutt]

Neil is free to have his music removed from Spotify. What's your point?

[Sargentcaptain]

Sure, if he wants to, he can get his shit off a platform. But that's not what I was talking about, and you know that. Young still can't censor other people and strip them off their basic human rights.
Also, nice dodge on my question too.

[supercutebutt]

How is he stripping anyone of anything, my doofy friend?

[supercutebutt]

I just removed your post because you violated the rules of g@g. That's not censorship. I can do it cuz u r a doof :)

[Motheman]

Anyone who doesn't say joe rogan is a Gullible, Propaganda consuming robot amd should go and fuck themselves.

[DCooper]

They're both idiots lol. Bernie brothers from another mother. Maybe Rogan will offer Young a nice universal basic income to offset his losses.

[genericname85]

The funny thing is that no missinformation was spread on Joe Rogan. Just information that doesn't make the pharma industry richer.

[supercutebutt]

Sure thing, champ.

[genericname85]

He has a talk show where he listens to all sorts of people and asks them questions. It's not medical advice and it's not a science show. It is not even information that one should consider.

[supercutebutt]

Yeah, the old Fox "News" defense. No sane person would take what we say seriously. The problem is, a high percentage of humanity lacks sanity.

[genericname85]

i'm not saying what he said shouldn't be taking seriously. i'm saying those were opinions. if you wanna call it missinformation, you gotta point out the lie that was told and not just throw a blanked statement over everything that show ever aired.

[LegendaryIcon]

don't you have to pay to use spotify

so, you're paying spotify, for joe rogan to tell you what's right and what's wrong

meaning he's making money off of giving misinformation. huh, weird

[Pohjolan]

1. No Joe Rogan podcast is included in Spotify's free content.
2. Joe himself says that people shouldn't base their opinions on what he is saying.
3. The podcast is popular because Joe is a good interviewer and has a variety of guests.
Is Neil deGrasse Tyson suddenly spreading disinformation because he was on Joe's show?
No.

[LegendaryIcon]

@Pohjolan joe rogan makes his money off of misinformation, you PAY to listen to him

He's also a pathetic has been with no life

MUCH LIKE YOU

[joeldalton]

lol, I hope Neil Young will remember, A Southern man don't need him around anyhow.

[supercutebutt]

Are you a filthy Southern man?

[joeldalton]

I'm not a dirty old irrelevant hippy.

[supercutebutt]

You are just dirty, old and irrelevant?

[joeldalton]

And yet you still have the hots for me.

[Dargil]

Southern men are the only real ones left. All the rest of them are metrosexual putzes.

[supercutebutt]

@Dargil The Tiki torch types?

[Dargil]

No. Guys who actually work.
What, pray tell, is a Tiki torch type? A surfer? I was one of those.

[supercutebutt]

@Dargil No. One of those Nazis who marches around confederate statues screaming about Jews.

[joeldalton]

aka the FBI, lol.

[supercutebutt]

FBI? You really are struggling mentally, huh?

[joeldalton]

[supercutebutt]

Meaningless response as usual.

[msc545]

Rogan is nothing but a grifter and an irresponsible purveyor of gobs of misinformation. He needs to be canceled.

[Dargil]

What "misinformation" is that, exactly?

[msc545]

@Dargil you need to ask? Seriously?

[AllThatSweetJazz]

If it's so straightforward then just answer the question.

[msc545]

Gee, do you think you can figure out which side I'm on based on what I've said or is that too complicated for you?

[Pohjolan]

Have you actually listened to his podcasts?

[msc545]

@Pohjolan A few was all I could tolerate. He is an asshole.

[legalboxers]

*looks for a Trump cuck response*

[bamesjond0069]

Neil young is a cuck. Ooohhhh words hurt me so im going to have a tempertantrum.

[Anonymous]

joe side... this is free country still... get over it

[supercutebutt]

Neil rocks! Joe spreads BS.

[AviatorTom]

I don't think musicians should be involved in making political statements.

[supercutebutt]

How come you can?

[bulletbob555]

Neil young always the revolutionary

[Anonymous]

Young because I am not an irresponsible idiot.

[Pohjolan]

I don't even know who Neil Young is.

[Still-alive]

a singer

[beernbacon69]

@Still-alive and a very bad one at that!

[Anonymous]

Wait! Neil Young's not dead?

[supercutebutt]

No. That was Meat Loaf who died. Remember? He didn't believe in vaccines.

[Opinion Owner]

No, not thinking of the Loaf at all. Maybe it was one of Crosby Stills and Nash. But I'm surprised Neil Young isn't dead already.

[supercutebutt]

Crosby = alive
Stills = alive
Nash = alive
Young = alive

[Opinion Owner]

Get out!

[supercutebutt]

Yup. But they say the odds of them getting together to make music again are slim because Young and Nash are pissed at Crosby :(

[Opinion Owner]

I mean, they could clearly do it without Young since they originally did. But no Nash is a problem. Crosby, Stills and Moe wouldn't quite work.

[supercutebutt]

[Opinion Owner]

Whoa! Looks like Neil Young's music has been pulled! That was quick!

[supercutebutt]

I have all of it so I am good. :)

[loveslongnails]

Rogan is a jerk.

[joeldalton]

You’re jealous he has fuck you money.

[loveslongnails]

@joeldalton Not in your wildest, hand humping dreams am I jealous of that jerk off. Though I do feel pity for him, as for you.

[joeldalton]

Bahahaha.. you feel pity for a guy who is by far the most popular person in media today? Hilarious. And you feeling pity for me is a compliment.

[loveslongnails]

@joeldalton The more you exalt him, the more you spew, you just prove my point. Your Orange god is calling you. Good bye

[joeldalton]

Are you confusing joe rogan with trump? Stupid ass can’t even keep his lefty boogeymen separate.

[loveslongnails]

@joeldalton Not at all, but I know that Trump is your God as well. That's why I feel pity for you.

[joeldalton]

@loveslongnails I've seen what makes you cheer, your boos mean nothing.

[loveslongnails]

@joeldalton You cheer, exalt and help promulgate (that's a big word Joe, look it up) lies and deceit while supporting the horrible people who proliferate them. I boo it, expose it, and denounce those who do it. I think that's all we need to know about you, Joe.

[joeldalton]

lmao. I cheer the truth. You just babble garbage. Name something Rogan said about the vaccines that isn't true.

I'll wait.

[loveslongnails]

@joeldalton Easy: www.mediaite.com/.../

And that's just one thing. You want more, go look at the fact checks. Get your last words in Joe, I'm done with this.

[joeldalton]

Lol. I'm glad you like cancelling people who spew misinformation. We can go for sotomayor, next.

[joeldalton]

And fauci, since he said masks don't work

[loveslongnails]

@joeldalton Which part of "I'm done" don't you understand? Is this a post about Sotomayer? No. It's about Rogan and Neil Young. I didn't invite you to discuss anything else, nor any and EVERYONE else who spreads misinformation, nor will I. Did I cancel him? No, I said he was a jerk. That's an opinion. End of discussion again. Good bye, yet again.

[joeldalton]

lol.

[Still-alive]

Hell yes!
