U.S.—Musician Neil Young has delivered a harsh ultimatum to Russian President Vladimir Putin, stating that he must either fully retreat from Ukraine or he will pull all of his songs from Spotify again.
“It’s time to hit Putin where it hurts. Sanctions are not enough. That’s why I’m bringing out the big guns and threatening to pull all my songs from Spotify,” said Neil Young proudly. “Somebody’s gotta stand up to this guy, so why shouldn’t it be the most legendary musician of all time?”
The message was promptly delivered to the Kremlin, but they were oddly unresponsive.
Sources claim that Young has brushed this off stating, “They obviously think I’m bluffing. They wouldn’t dare continue their Ukrainian occupation if they truly understood my entire discography was on the line.”
For many, this announcement by Neil has placed them in a weird spot. “Obviously we want Putin to withdraw from our country, but also it’d be kinda nice if all Neil’s music suddenly disappeared from Spotify,” said the Ukrainian President.
At publishing time, Neil Young had pulled his music from Spotify, Apple Music, and even Napster, and Vladimir Putin had still not retreated to Russia.

The headline screamed “It’s the Bee!!!”
See kids. Drugs are bad. M’kay.
“Neil Young threatens to leave Spotify (again) unless Vladimir Putin backs down from Ukraine.”
Well, now, that is a threat that carries some weight. Who is Spotify, anyway? I thought their bread and butter was Joe Rogan, “Truth to power”.
Apparently there is some difference of opinion as to who has the truth, and who has the power.
Neil, in case you forgot...find the cost of freedom buried in the ground.
Good one!
right?
Guess Joni Mitchell will be soon to follow........... “I was a free man in Kyiv”
It’s ok Neil. Putin has assured us that his military is fully vaxxed and face covered!
Yes!
Actually thought this was true because Young is that arrogant and stupid. But then saw was the BB.
Tough, tough sanctions. The Chinese have already agreed to release the Uyghurs if Young will just come back to Spotify. Is there anything rock musicians can’t do?
😂
“Why doesn’t Biden ban Russian gas/oil, and kick them out of SWIFT?”
Because Europe has destroyed their own ability to supply energy for themselves. If they try to cut Russia off from the international monetary system, Putin will freeze them to death in the dark.
So they let Putin take all of Europe? Maybe them. Not here. There will be blood.
