Crosby and Stills join Nash and Young in growing Spotify boycott over Joe Rogan
SF Gate ^ | February 2, 2022 | By Christi Carras , Los Angeles Times

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young are getting the band back together to boycott Spotify.

On Wednesday, David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash announced plans to “remove their collective recordings from Spotify” in solidarity with their bandmate Neil Young, who took a stand against the streaming giant last month. Nash individually renounced the platform earlier this week.

“While we always value alternate points of view, knowingly spreading disinformation during this global pandemic has deadly consequences,” Crosby, Stills and Nash said in a joint statement.

“Until real action is taken to show that a concern for humanity must be balanced with commerce, we don’t want our music - or the music we made together - to be on the same platform.”

On Jan. 26, Young became the first of several entertainment figures to pull his content from Spotify in opposition to the audio service’s ongoing support of Rogan. Other artists who soon followed suit include Joni Mitchell, Nils Lofgren, India Arie and, of course, Nash.

“There is a difference between being open to varying viewpoints on a matter and knowingly spreading false information which some 270 medical professionals have derided as not only false but dangerous,” Nash said Tuesday.

Who?

Old fossils usually don’t use Spotify so I think Spotify is safe with CS&N going away.

Spotify should start putting on all the deplorable artists that Apple iTunes refuses to put in their catalog and call it “Rebel Radio” - their user base among the young would expand dramatically.

The contract is exclusive rights to Spotify for three years.

So he is locked in. Spotify doesn’t have to air the show though.

Hey Hopalong Ginsberg,

I've got a new idea for a hit song for Free Republic's Pied Paper.

It's a parody of David Crosby's "Almost Cut My Hair".

New title, "Almost Got my Jab"

The dog that is not barking.

Where the hell are young, under 30 musicians standing against all this?

All afraid they’ll be cancelled. Nice job America.

I can’t believe these young rebels. Can I get my money back?

I remember listening to their album in the early 70s. And it was entertaining. But talk about an ugly group of celebrities. That’s them.

These has-been s have to announce they are boycotting because they would never be missed otherwise.

If I can find it, I will post a thread about how the aging commie sold his music catalog for $150 million.

During the Trump years, before capital gains taxes were increased under Biden.

So, you’re saying that Neil Young did NOT sell his catalog to a business entity that is part of the Pfizer corporation? Look it up yourself. The story appeared in a number of small publications, which are the only ones who will publish it. Obviously the paid commie shill MSM is not going to reveal his financial interest. Doesn’t fit the narrative.
