Hope Neil Young remembers, Spotify don't want him around anyhow

The 3 of you need to knock this off or be welcome to the warning system.

I already asked once in another thread.

You'd think you all didn't like hippies or something (or maybe it is reverence for Joe Rogan).

I remember the first time I heard N. Young I couldn't figure out why they would let someone with a voice like that on the radio. However I feel he is more relevant today (much more so than J.Bieber)than he was when younger and more widely known and popular. He seems to have always stood behind issues he felt strongly about regardless of consequences.

He also has the greatest anthem for the grouchy old man in all of us.

Harvest Moon is a fantastic album. And I like Rogans podcasts...
 
Just a other example how our society enjoys being perpetually outraged.

Half the stories about this try to paint a picture that Spotify picked one personality over another. Spotify bad, Apple good.




Neil Young fans joining Apple will love Apple's philosophy.

"You're stupid, we'll tell you what you like."

I tried listening to Joe Rogan once. The first five minutes was commercials - so my experience with him stopped right there.

Not a fan of Rogan or Young.
 
Not a fan of either but hold no real contempt for them either.

But I did like Rogan’s response.

Also it seems that Meghan and Harry who have a deal with Spotify that is starting soon weighed in. That will have more influence than Neil young for sure lol.

Anyways I think Spotify has the right approach for now.

 
Scolding does seem to be a trigger for some people.
Does it matter? There is a whole group of millions of people out there that are perpetually offended over the slightest thing. Since 2015, this simple symbol has thrown millions into seizures and laments at the mere sight of it. Hell, people have been intentionally killed for wearing it.

IF
Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on”;

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings—nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run—
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!
 
I guess Neil Young and Dave Grohl are only upset when they believe someone else is spreading misinformation.

Michelle Shocked: Not the First Artist to Betray Her Fanbase

Neil Young blamed homosexuals for AIDS:
In an interview with Melody Maker in 1985, Neil Young backed Reagan’s gun control policies and said of AIDS, “You go to a supermarket and you see a faggot behind the fuckin’ cash register, you don’t want him to handle your potatoes.”

Foo Fighters pushed HIV denialist propaganda:
The band helped organize a concert in 2000 to benefit Alive and Well, a group claiming that HIV does not cause AIDS. Ignoring over 20 years of scientific research, the band backed Alive and Well’s mandates for patients to stop taking their HIV medication and for the undiagnosed public to never get tested for HIV. It’s a stunningly wrong-headed and irresponsible message.
