Stories a couple of weeks ago about how Rogan has more people tuning in than all the cable news networks combined. Now a bunch of leftists have suddenly
targetted him for annhilation. Coincidence? I think not.

“ How many listeners did Neil Young have?”

I listened to after the gold rush, everybody knows…, comes a time for a few years. Prob still have them.

I can play a lot of them on guitar and sing harmony fairly well

I never listen to them. Never think about those songs. Even after this. I guess especially after this

I couldn’t care any less. Same re Joni Mitchell who joined up.

If I’m not listening then $2 b worth of listeners are not listening.

Just common sense that’s all

Now Clapton, I did happen to replace my Layla vinyl recently. That’s important classic music. So there’s that.

Here is the great and always underrated Roger McGuinn singing and playing better on this particular song than Neil Young and everyone else on stage with him. George is very kind to him in the backstage video available on you tube on firefox. Can’t get it on the phone version

Why don’t we do this stuff with left wing companies.

I mean boycott not censor anything.

I really don’t care for Rogan, as he is too far left for my tastes.

But that’s the difference between us and them, we don’t have to agree with everything another person says, as long as we agree on the big things, and Rogan is right on the big things.

What you wrote is a misunderstanding of what this article is really about. This writer has no interest in informing his readers, he wrote this to attack a company that is not aligning itself with the government and censoring anyone who does not echo Fauci and the other tyrants. This article is intended to do harm, not report harm.

“Somehow, the writer missed the whole downward trend of the stock market”
*****************************************************************
And, for Spotify stock, that was occurring BEFORE the pompous and self-important Neil Young had his little snit and bout of virtue signaling.

Much of these artist’s music is still available on Spotify through music collection’s. If you search you can find their song’s mixed with other artist’s in style or period releases.

As of right now I’m still seeing Mitchell’s releases on Spotify - Chalk Mark in a Rain Storm, Blue, Shine...

“He wants big business to slam down on speech.”

Big Business is doing what the government can’t because of the first amendment. They are on the same team.

“The platform’s share price reportedly dropped by 6 percent between Jan. 26 and Jan. 28, even though relevant stock indexes showed a modest rise over the same period. On Jan. 27 Spotify stock hit a 19-month low.”

Went up on pandemic in 2020. Continual down trend since but still above pre-pandemic price.

“Buy smart and hold long. That’s what I’ve been doing for over 35 years and it’s served me well.”

Half my stock portfolio is over 20 years old. Another 30% is over 7 years.

Love those qualified dividends!

Having companies enforce social ideas makes them a de facto government; and, one that was not elected at that. So, young seeks a corporate non-representative governance.

ALL of the ‘60s / ‘70s leftist “rebel” “radikal” rockers were all the same; they preached rebellion and anti authority, and calling for kids to rebel against their parents. But in the end, they wanted everybody to be a ward of THE STATE, and OBEY THE STATE.

Rogan should offer to interview them and have them state exactly what misinformation his guests have discussed,

“Somehow, the writer missed the whole downward trend of the stock market”

Much of the time the "reasons" given by "journalists" for the stock market going up or down have nothing to do with the real reasons.

Often it has to do with options (puts and calls) expiring and other such technical reasons.

Very few Americans even know what options and futures are.

9 billion in revenue, 7 in assets. So Neil Young was a quarter of their business. I did not know that.
