My era. Another shitty band from the 60’s. Didn’t like them them. Really don’t like them now.

Any “artist” who objects to free speech is a complete phony.

Why don’t the people who disagree with him go on his show and debate him?

They had some talent that was decent 50y ago. Their sound died with those times. They are totally irrelevant to the music scene today. Grandpa rockers.

Here’s the deal. The artists have long been complaining that Spotify isn’t paying them enough. Then they see what Spotify is paying Rogan.

That’s all this is about....Always the dollars, always the f’ing dollars!

Crosby got a liver transplant after abusing drugs and alcohol for years.

Rogan will lose this in the end.

Then on to the next target by the woke mob.

I thought trying to get someone who has not harmed you fired was a tort.

Rogan didn’t have to give a inch. They will not be happy until Spotify dumps Rogan and if it costs big bucks to Spotify, they don’t care.

It's going to get worse for Spotify. Right now it's largely has-beens yanking their music but soon it'll be bigger names because the small but very loud Twitter mob is going to make every artist on Spotify defend themselves.

And these people always buckle.

Before long, Spotify will consist of Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, and Joe Rogan.

Spotify will probably ditch Rogan and pay off his contract.

Of course, Joe Rogan isn't going to go away. He has F-You money. He has 11,000,000 listeners each week. He has the number one podcast in the world and wherever he winds up, millions will follow.

I have an idea, why don’t we just go back to buying the CDs of the artists we like, and supporting them more directly?

Crazy, I know.

No he won't. See my post right above this one. He might lose his contract with Spotify but he'll go somewhere else and take 11 million listeners with him.

That's my point. All Spotify had to do is to tell these has-beens to pound sand, we stand behind Rogan. Maybe the artists would have still pulled their music, but the threats from the Left would have screeched to a halt.

But Spotify put up a disclaimer on Rogan's show, so that's why the Left is continuing to go after them. You never appease or compromise with the Left.

Question, did those 270 include any specifics or facts as to the misinfo or disinfo from the intricately involved doctors? And really, what’s 270 in relation to how many doctors, nurses and other health professionals out there? Probably less than the .06 chance of dying from Covid-1984.

I used to listen to Casey Kasem most weekends, even got a Long Distance Dedication on in 1983. Anyway, the name struck me as strange, and I looked them up. Like many, I thought they were four guys, not knowing from hearing on the radio that "Joe Frank" was one man, not two.

I had also heard the names Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young in numerous combinations. So, seeing all of them together reminded me of Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds. My backup would have been Peter, Paul and Mary, but that is almost a hippie cliche.

Ugh. I just can't stand those people. Just cannot stand them. I have known some hippies who were quite harmless and charming.

But I have known some hippies like those guys, and I detested them. It brings this to mind:

Instead of "I hate Illinois Nazis", it is "I hate Musician Hippies".
