Neil Young Asks Artists to Join His Anti-Spotify Crusade After Joe Rogan Ultimatum Failed
Breitbart ^ | 27 Jan 2022 | ALANA MASTRANGELO

Posted on 01/27/2022 11:35:44 PM PST by conservative98

Left-wing rocker Neil Young is now pushing for other artists to pull their music from Spotify, calling the audio streaming service a “damaging force” that is causing “24 year old’s” to end up on “the wrong side of the truth.”

Young’s call comes after Spotify said it would pull the singer’s music from its platform following his demand that the company either remove his music or blacklist Joe Rogan and his popular podcast.

On Wednesday, Young continued his attacks against Spotify on his website, claiming that the company “has recently become a very damaging force,” and urged others to join him in removing their music from the platform. “I sincerely hope that other artists and record companies will move off the Spotify platform and stop supporting Spotify’s deadly misinformation about Covid.”

In his diatribe, the former Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young member also suggested that content needs to be censored on Spotify because most of its listeners are “24 years old,” which makes them “impressionable.”

“Most of the listeners hearing the unfactual, misleading and false COVID information on SPOTIFY are 24 years old, impressionable and easy to swing to the wrong side of the truth,” the singer wrote.

How are you going to shut up hundreds of millions of people in Uttar Pradesh, Neil Young? Better get over there and start yelling at each one.

Rogan got his $100m up front.

Neil lost half his income.

He’s saying come join me or he’s SOL.

They might make about a million dollars/year off of Neil Young, which will shrinks as those born in his prime age and die off.

Rogan will be around for another 40 years and he has the podcast with the widest reach and he’s just getting started with his reach.

Choices, choices.

Brilliant.

Young has just discovered his position on the food chain.

Good luck with that Neil. I give your little crusade a zero percent chance of success.

How many of these “artists” even own the rights to their music anyway. I suspect the contractual situation is a lot more complicated than just, “I don’t like Rogan, so I’ll pull my music from Spotify.”

Little Neil never grew up. Still having tantrums like a two-year-old.

Spotify was smart.  While they locked in Rogan, they also made a deal with some token Lefties, the Boobambas.

Now how can you complain, Neil Young?  Are you going to protest the Obamies' making a deal with Rogan?  Good luck with that!

Normally “truth” is whatever Leftists want to believe. If you’re a man and feel you are a female sparrow, then you are; and everyone else should be required to chirp at you instead of talk. But if you disagree with a Leftist, suddenly truth becomes absolute and they hate you.

It truly is stunning how the anti-establishment types of the 1960’s are now the boot on the neck of America.

Joe Rogan is in their heads 24/7, telling the truth and singing his SONGZ.

Poor Neil. He is finaly crossing the desert on a horse with no name.
