But I sent you Ben-gay,
Oh Andy, you kissed me and stopped me from something,
And I...

Barry Manilow is joining rock singer Neil Young in threatening to ditch Spotify over their decision to continue giving Joe Rogan’s podcast a platform despite alleged COVID-19 misinformation.
Young started another stereotypical left-wing movement against dissenting opinions when he referred to the music streaming platform as a “very damaging force via its public misinformation and lies about COVID” in a statement posted to his website.
For the record, his website was so outdated it’s called Neil Young Archives, and I was not even able to copy and paste the above quote because of its outdated technology.
“They can have Rogan or Young. Not both,” he declared, according to the BBC.
So, to nobody’s surprise, Spotify sided with their money-maker Rogan and Young’s music is now off the service.
“We want all the world’s music and audio content to be available to Spotify users. With that comes great responsibility in balancing both safety for listeners and freedom for creators. We have detailed content policies in place and we’ve removed over 20,000 podcast episodes related to Covid since the start of the pandemic,” Spotify said in response, according to The New York Times. “We regret Neil’s decision to remove his music from Spotify but hope to welcome him back soon.”
Barry Manilow, the “Copacabana” singer, is now following suit, which has earned him both praise and mockery on social media.

Lol
Cat fight!?
Yessir. But you mentioned “Michelle” in your post which is a Beatles song off of Rubber Soul album. I liked McCartney’s post Beatles career myself. Some people didn’t I guess.
I think I will call up Sirius and cancel my car subscriptions until they ban Neil Young and Barry Manilow from their platforms . . .
Who listens to Barry Manilow?
No big loss to Spotify.
I know he is a singer and may have heard a song of his.
Buh-bye Barry!
I truly laughed out loud.
Not like anyone is listening to anything Manilov and/or Young have on Spotify.
Another example of washed up has-beens searching for publicity.
We feel the change coming, Bar!
We started a story whose end must now wait...
Manilow in his early career took a very short Chopin prelude and turned it into 8 minutes of repetitive agony. I’ve never forgiven him for that.
Why does anybody care what “celebrities” think? All it really does is open the door for condemnation. Those who liked them already did. But now they have provided a reason for some of them to DISlike them. They gather “nothing” good from their commentary and only hurt themselves and their products.
Which again begs the question, Why would anybody listen to anyone so stupid as to give folks a reason to dislike them?
I just don’t care what he thinks. I used to like his music. Oh well. Lost another one.
I didn’t even know he was still around.
A fag and a hippie walk into a bar.....
Well, that only leaves us with umpteen thousand choices of artists to listen to on Spotify.
“Funny how all the girls in the 1970’s loved him but he was a queer the entire time.”
And how NOBODY will admit to listening to his music, yet:
“To date, he has sold more than 85 million records worldwide, making him one of the best selling recording artists of all time”
get rid of all them old fuks if they cant take an opinion..
“I was not even able to copy and paste the above quote because of its outdated technology.”
I’m able to - maybe the author’s not able to because he’s a moron.
Oh no, not Barry Manilow too!
My sister probably bought every album that he put out.
