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For the record, his website was so outdated it’s called Neil Young Archives, and I was not even able to copy and paste the above quote because of its outdated technology.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.

Paul McCartney will likely follow suite, after all he sang his balled “Michelle” to a man named Mike.

Guess we are going to hear from a lot of former musicians from the 1960’s and 1970’s who are starving for publicity to drive up their record listening which generates higher income....

There’s enough dead pop performers left to choose from. Their heirs won’t fight against free money.

I will never, ever forget my Dad's reaction to that outfit. He saw it on a news report one night, and said, "Looks like he told his agent to go to Cockel's and get a Seersucker suit, but he went to Sears instead."
I was 9 or so. Mom yelled at him...

I don't think he hid it too well. Everyone with an above room temperature IQ knew it.
To: Signalman
Was barry even ON Spotify?
I can’t imagine anyone one requesting “Songs by Barry Manilow”.
As a used vinyl afficianado and consigner, I find barry’s records rotting in the bins at the Salvation Army along with Jim Nabors, and “Sing-Along-With-Mitch”.
He will not be missed.

Funny how all the girls in the 1970’s loved him but he was a queer the entire time.

Some old people acting pretty childish.
No one listens to your music anymore but hey, if it sells more concerts, their position makes sense....

YES. Cream Rises to the Top, and then You can get Into The Music.

How will Spotify survive without sending these assclowns their 6 figure annual checks?
