Nils Lofgren announced Saturday that he's removing his music from Spotify to protest vaccine misinformation propagated by Joe Rogan.

The 70-year-old Bruce Springsteen guitarist made the announcement in solidarity with Neil Young, who removed his music from Spotify days earlier, by making his announcement in Young's newsletter.

Joni Mitchell has also followed suit by taking her music off the service in protest.

I am getting quite the kick at seeing all of the trash taking itself out.

What these performers and celebrities don’t seem to understand is that they need an audience — and not that the audience NEEDS them.

There is a world of talent out there — and not that we need to keep on playing the oldies of 50 years ago as though they are the greatest of all time and forevermore.

Someone immensely better will come along.

Most of us didn’t even know they were still alive. A bunch of elderly wealthy performers taking their music off of one place were younger people might actually stumble across it?

Go ahead.

I had to Google "Nils Lofgren" to see who you were referring to.   Captain Phil I've heard of and really liked, RIP.   Nils Lofgren nothing at all.

I wonder what will happen if and when a major artist removes music from Spotify? Do they not know that their music is available for basically free nearly everywhere? They now are dependent upon the whims of humans. There talents are spent, and all they have left is the sound of their own whining, or that of chips stacking in the background from previous efforts.

Protest? Dylan next?

He was in line at Rio I think out of Baltimore ...

What does that mean in English?   What is "Rio" and what does "in line at Rio mean?"   Google didn't find a song called “White Lies” so everything you typed is Greek.

I'm guessing you didn't listen to Leon Russell, The Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Alabama, Wet Willie, Atlanta Rhythm Section, or Black Oak Arkansas?

I have no idea who this individual is, nor do I care.

It’s amusing how Neil Young and Joni Mitchell, two Canadian “artists” who cannot carry a tune in a bucket, actually believe they are relevant.

Yesterday, I canceled my Apple Music subscription and signed up for Spotify. First item on my agenda was subscribing to Joe Rogan.

As I type this, I’m enjoying Nightwish on Spotify.
