What's Nugent talking about? Young hasn't advocated for censorship at all.

He's said it's up to Spotify to choose and when they chose Rogan Young said "that's cool, I'll do my own thing".

He hasn't slammed Spotify at all. In fact, he got it exactly right:

"“I support free speech,” he wrote. “I have never been in favor of censorship. Private companies have the right to choose what they profit from, just as I can choose not to have my music support a platform that disseminates harmful information. I am happy and proud to stand in solidarity with the front line health care workers who risk their lives every day to help others.”"

He's handling it like an adult and not whining.

Unlike too many, he realizes free speech doesn't mean speech without consequences.

His assertion is that Joe Rogan’s guests were disseminating “harmful information” but it wasn’t harmful, it was eye opening and healthful. Those 2 doctors know a lot more about what was being said than Neil Young. He shoulda just asked to be a guest on the show to counter the supposed “harmful information” but he can’t because he isn’t knowledgeable enough.

No Young is NOT handling it like an adult. He is acting like a little child that cannot get his way.

He told Spotify to censor Joe Rogan or he is going to take his music and leave. He is a has been want to be tyrant making excuses now that he is catching heat.

The reality is Young can’t leave. This is because Young sold his music rights to a corporation that sold to Spotify. So cry baby Young is just running his b*g leftist mouth.
