Left-wing rocker Neil Young, who has an estimated net worth of $200 million, attacked concert promoters for doing business as coronavirus case spikes continue to grip parts of the U.S. “Stop these shows” and “forget about making money for a while” Young said.
“The big promoters, if they had the awareness, could stop these shows. Without that, everyone just keeps going like everything is OK. It’s not,” Young said of concerts being held in the coronavirus era, according to a report by Stereogum. “Live Nation, AEG and the other big promoters could shut this down if they could just forget about making money for a while.”
“They hold the power to stop shows where thousands congregate and spread. It’s money that keeps it going. Money that motivates the spreading. The big promoters are responsible for super spreaders,” Young said. He insisted that concert promoters are adding to pandemic era problems by making people “think it must be OK to go and mingle.”

““Freepers” who continually waste bandwidth posting this meaningless crap are nearly as bad. “
Why even bother posting to the thread? If you were at a party and a group of people were together shooting the breeze, would you walk up to them to tell them you don’t like what they’re talking about?
A lady friend from his home town in ‘North Ontario’ says he’s known there as the town drunk.
Go back to your cocaine, Neil
Time has not been kind to this has been.
I guess when you have $200 million, you don’t recall what it was like when you were an unknown opening act and desperately need a job.
Good post!
To make the point that this meaningless nonsense is a WASTE of VALUABLE BANDWIDTH. It is NOT comparable to people speaking about such nonsense at a party. The fact you relate it to that speaks volumes about your ignorance of this fact. Words at a party are vapor. This meaningless nonsense takes up valuable data space that costs money.
How much do you pay per month?
“How much do you pay per month?” Irrelevant to the point. That said, my latest monthly donation was $100.00.

LOL. People at a party take up oxygen. What a waste of such a valuable resource.
Truth is you have no idea how much this thread is costing. It’s not your job to determine which posts are worth the bandwidth. Bandwidth is cheap. Free Republic has an owner and several moderators. I trust them to decide which posts are bandwidth worthy and which are not.
I’ve read a few of your posts. You’re articulate but uncommonly narrow-minded, judgmental and negative. Noob, you ain’t worth the bandwidth of this reply.
So I won’t waste any more bandwidth on a gnat like you.
‘nuff said.
Well, that’s very nice. But it doesn’t dictate how other people use the forum.
(And couldn’t you add another 50 to that, just to pay for your right to vent your personal aggravation toward others?)
it’s the promoters fault?
how bout the performers don’t go on tour???
Should be sitting in a rocker next to Dementia Joe.
He talks like he’s lying in a burned out basement.
“So I won’t waste any more bandwidth on a gnat-like you.”
Lol. I see you’re finally coming around. This forum used to be focused entirely on meaningful political issues. It used to be populated by serious people. It’s what attracted me to this site.
You call me a noob. You’re not the first. I’ve been monitoring this site since 1995. I discovered it on the Drudge Report before the Drudge Report eliminated it as a potential threat to that site.
I have been here longer, far longer, than most current registered Freepers. Just not registered. Why?
I was an active-duty combat Marine. I registered well after I retired. When I had a bit more free time on my hands. I’m still a busy guy so, my postings are not as frequent as most.
All of that said, nonsense posts like the one we’re talking about are meaningless, and a total waste of time and bandwidth.

I thought about it for a brief moment. No. I think $100.00 is more than adequate. But, thanks for the suggestion.
Oh, come on. You’re a rich guy.
Woodstock happened in the middle of a pandemic. But back in 1969, we didn’t have nearly as many 80 and 90 year olds, or as many obese people. So death toll was lower.
Nobody is making Neil attend any of these concerts.
In some cases, maybe it *is* better to fade away.
