Maybe so, but I have heard the exact same thing said about David Crosby, even back in the early 60’s.

We’ve driven the Left so bat-poop crazy they’re now canceling themselves! Hilarious!

He’ll really miss his monthly Spotfly $1.43 royalty check.

Memo to Neil Young: 1972 was a long time ago.

Did you really think Spotify was going to cave to somebody 50 years past his prime and scrap the cash cow that is Joe Rogan?

Neil Young has 5 songs that have been listened to 70-100 million times on Spotify.

Joe Rogan pulls in an audience for his hour long shows of 11 million....per day....5 days per week. Forget total air time in just the number of listeners, he surpasses Neil Young’s lifetime catalogue about every month and a half. That was an easy choice for Spotify to make.

Question - Are you then supporting Kneel by doing this?

Glad I have originals. Listening to my ‘Everybody Knows this is Nowhere ‘ right now with a nice glass of sweet tea and English shortbread. Love the music...

They need to replace Neil Young with Lynyrd Skynyrd live music.

“I checked the keywords with Neil Young ...”

Really?

Politically he’s a nutcase. I never allow that to interfere with what music I enjoy or not. Probably 80% of the music out there is written by people to the left. It’s been that way forever... something about artists and utopian thinking...

What is SO ironic about this is that Neil Young led the charge against GMO's because he thought his son got birth defects from GMO's. His concerts had booths set up out front demanding GMOs be removed from food production

So he thinks we should all be forced to get GMO injections now.

what an idiot my god its like living in the movie Idiocracy

WELL I HEARD MISTER YOUNG SING ABOUT HER/ WELL I HEARD OLD NEIL PUT HER DOWN/ WELL, I HOPE NEIL YOUNG WILL REMEMBER/ A SOUTHERN MAN DON’T NEED HIM AROUND ANYHOW”

Sweet home Alabama.

FU Neil Young. Your light version of racism and fascism isn’t welcome in my house and never played on my Spotify lists.

Oh noes! Now what do I do if I wanna hear some pimply-voiced fool singing songs no one cares about anymore? Maybe there’s a recording of “Puberty Love” on Spotify.

Looks like Neil Young got his clock cleaned on that confrontation.

We’ll keep Joe Rogan and we’ve heard Heart Of Gold quite enough times already

David Crosby calls Neil Young the most selfish person ever

Well, consider that that's coming from one of the most selfish assholes ever in the biz. Everyone that Crosby ever worked with now hates his guts and won't even speak to him.

WOW, it fits perfectly!

“I hope Neil Young will remember, Spotify don’t need him around anyhow”.
