Joni Mitchell is joining her old friend and contemporary Neil Young in having her legendary music catalog pulled from Spotify over concerns about vaccine misinformation being spread on the platform’s popular Joe Rogan Experience podcast.
In a brief note posted to her official website on Friday, the singer-songwriter wrote, “I’ve decided to remove all my music from Spotify. Irresponsible people are spreading lies that are costing people their lives. I stand in solidarity with Neil Young and the global scientific and medical communities on this issue.”

The song is a reference to W.B. Yeats poem “The Second Coming” which is about the rise of the antichrist.
So yeah, creepy.

Joni Mitchell and Neil Young feel Americans are too stupid to hear two sides of an issue. They've both morphed into Establishments elite jerks who look down their noses on everyday people.
Eff 'em.

Even if she is a political wacko, I’m sorry to hear about her health issues. I could only name one song that she has done. I suspect her departure is not going to exactly devastate Spotify’s song library. I’m guessing that Joe Rogan has more listeners ANY minute during the day than Joni Mitchell (or Neil Young) has for the entire day.

Yes, it’s doubtful a couple of elderly musicians are going to hurt Spotify. It might be interesting to see how many ‘friends’ Young can get to go along with him on this... I’m thinking of confirmed leftists like Jackson Browne... there are a large number of them from that generation out there.

It’s a shame these old hippies are coming out in this strange little attempt at censorship.

Joni Mitchell: The one Canadian with a voice more irritating than Neil Young’s.

Oh no! Things are looking bad for Rogan. The only question is will Joan Baez be the next domino to fall? If she pulls out Strawberry Alarm Clock is almost sure to follow!Bwahahahaha! Perfect!

Joe Rogan, Spotify, jabs right?
Kinda weird. Maybe they wanted out of Spotify all along. I tried it, it’s just another time waster app.

The HS senior next door played Maggies Farm for me, that was the first Dylan I ever heard. Never got into his folk era stuff.
