Young is probably not aware of the Streisand Effect, but it's likely that the media coverage around this will bring more listeners to Rogan. Good work, Neil!

I never understood why people thought Young was all that to start with. His music is depressing and his vocals are horrid.

I’m surprised that Spotify didn’t cave. Smart move, however.

Joe : You’re a blubbering idiot.

Neil: Okay so I am, maan. But the vax is good. Like Cowgirl in the Sand good.

Joe: Hey Hey, My My... the vax can make you die. (whispers You blubbering idiot)

Neil: No Joe! I wrote 12,000 songs about the vax, so it’s gotta be good. It’s up there with down by the river I shot my baby...

Joe: You shot your brains out years ago. Look Neil, you don’t want people to have freedom and choice... You want your sugar mountain of drugs and the vax is just you licking Biden’s hind end. And, NO, he’s not going to buy your catalog. Jill listens to Tommy James and Shondells... she worships them.

Neil: I was there with them on the harvest moon album. And Jack Nietzsche, my producer, said it’s the will to power and that’s what I’ve been doing ever since. You can’t let the people go for a minute. And I have to dress up like an Indian to make them feel sorry and guilty and ashamed so they buy my album. I’m a hoodlum. Look at my fedora hat... like Muggsy Malone... you dirty rat you shot my brother...

Joe: You talk gibberish way too much. So you and Biden believe white men are racists. What happened to peace, love, dove?

Neil: David Crosby destroyed that because he is so egotistical. Like I’m a Buddhist, so I keep my EGO in check.

Joe: Doesn’t mean SH!T. You’re denying freedom and going along with that fruitcake Biden. You’re going along with the MAAN! You are a dirty syringe.

Neil : Thank you for that... but I still have manners... when I’m not berating my staff. Because I feel helpless, helpless, helpless...

Joe: Yeah you and Biden are helpless alright. Helpless wanks.

Neil: I can teach you how to write a song. You have to become an emotional exhibitionist... sing like a whining snake making love to a cat... do a pow wow dance so everybody feels Indian and real (whispers except white men)... and then jump into a volcano. That’s how I do it, Joe.

Joe: How? Like, “HOW white man!” (raises his hand) You are Chief snotty nose and Joe Biden is a phony Pony Soldier and you both tell each other lies... I’m done, forked tongue Moccasin mouth.

Neil: Did you know my initials NY is like New York, like New York City? Did you know snotify took off my music, and I’m sad and helpless like Cortez the Killer... OAC imitates Cortez because she come riding over the waters with her galleons and guns.

Joe: This is gibberish, Neil. How much drugs did you do in the 70s?

Neil: Did you know Trump want me to play a song in his office? He wanted me to play Keep on Rockin in the Free World. And then Nancy Pelosi came out from under his desk and wanted to hear This Bud’s for YOU. And then I saw God in the heel of my shoe, and he was writing poetry... and Trump rolled back the stone in his office and Jesus was in the tomb smoking a cigarette.

JOE: yeah, yeah yeah...

Not long ago I was in your shoes.

Now, having received a subscription as a gift from my daughter, I use it all the time because I’m able to access nearly every song I ever liked.

And I’ve been around a long time, so that’s a lotta music.😊

This is going to cost Spotify tens of dollars in lost revenue.

The only time I ever listened to him is because the radio station played one of his songs. I never really cared for him

I agree. It’s slim pickings for conservative artists.

Neil Young discovered today that he sold the rights to that music about 10 years ago and in doing so, gave up control of where it is played.

Guess he should have skipped that last bong hit.

“ This is going to cost Spotify tens of dollars in lost revenue.”

That is just hyperbole. The real number is closer to dozens.

” I hope Neil Young can remember, a Southern Man don’t need him around anyhow.”

He’s always been a douche.
