Can we make some “Worship Authority” bumper stickers for all for these cowards?

I am assuming that Spotify is similar to Pandora, except Spotify is ‘streamed’ for a fee and Pandora is on the internet for free.
Is that correct? I have to ask somebody under the age of 35 to be sure.

What was that old chant?
“Don’t trust anybody over 30!”
Yeh, well some things change once you’ve cleared that hurdle.

I hope not. FF we’re the last band I cared to listen to.

Btw who is the guy in back with the glasses, their manager?

Why were they ever on there, Neil Young says the sound is low quality.

I’ve never tried it, anyone have an opinion on the sound quality?

Sound quality for the Joe Rogan podcasts is fine. ;-)

I’d bet that most Foo Fighter fans don’t have the slightest idea what that name means, or what its origin is.

I’m an old ‘boomer.’ The only thing I know about this band is that the founder was the drummer for Nirvana.

You can just look at this maggot (Grohl), and you just know he’s a Lefty! Does this POS shower regularly?

It takes absolutely no guts to be a Leftist!

Dave would agree. He has said as much.

You won’t see any up-and-coming ‘artists’ leave Spoitfiy. They haven’t gotten rich yet.

Here's the limiting factor: streaming music services like Spotify keep careful track of play statistics. 75% of the play action on Spotify is music that is >30 years old. Spotify primarily benefits the older musicians or their estates. So I rather doubt this particular boycott will snowball.

If you want to listen to ALL of Rogan’s podcasts then you do need Spotify. Excerpts are cross-posted on other services by fans and those are subject to being taken down on a fact-check basis. So Rogan’s presence on other services is informal and shot full of holes.

They are total sellouts and I don’t take them seriously.

He actually used to be a libertarian (little ‘l’) “info warrior”, until his record company threatened to pull the plug and then he sold out completely.

Re: streaming sound quality

Spotify premium has up to 320 kbps quality available (the highest quality .mp3 audio file). It’s quite good when I connect my phone to a stereo sound system.

I did a comparison test using good headphones about 25 years ago (when file size was more significant due to the high cost of storage media) — CD quality versus 320kbps mp3.

I was surprised that the 320kbps was similar to CD quality (by my ears). I could hear differences on some sounds like the sizzle of a cymbal on a jazz recording or for classical music, but for rock or pop music I decided 320 mp3s would be more than adequate.

Ok, but personally, I don’t spend my time listening to his entire podcasts, much less ALL of them.

EI only choose the portions I want to listen to and they’re mostly posted in other sites.

The only podcasts I listened to in their entirety are his interviews with Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Robert Malone, which were the ones the leftists want to censor.

The more you attempt to censor, the more more you spark people’s curiosity. These folks never learn.

Paying your jailers instead of supporting an organization that believes in freedom of information. Typical conservative in name only.
