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For the record, his website was so outdated it’s called Neil Young Archives, and I was not even able to copy and paste the above quote because of its outdated technology.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

Oh the Huge Manatee
despite this, i don’t feel like subscribing to Spotify anyway, they have obama on there.
i will continue to get free music from other sources.
Wow. A movement is building. Somewhere in the Spotify offices a very confused executive has said “Who?” so many times they think he’s an owl.
Doctor Manilow has spoken.
He’s Barely A Man, You Know.
I thought Barry Manilow died of AIDS some time ago.
Sorry, but Barry you sold your music to the same company Neil Young did, Hipgnosis Songs. So you have no say in their control...
I guess he feels like they do.
Barry Manilow and his “music” have been a joke for decades
Air Supply - didn’t they have a hit song, “I’m All Out of Lunch?”
Ohhh NOOOOOO!!!
Barry Manilow is gonna make access to his records scarce?!?!?
What ever are we going to survive such a thing???
Cue all the virtue signaling in 3, 2, 1
Barry: Look Neil, we’re both has-beens. So this is our chance to get into the public and maybe sell some records.
Neil: You know my name letters NY is like New York?
Barry: Are you paying attention? Us ole timers get to shake it up. It gets the adreline going.
Neil: You know I wrote 1,500 song on COVID. And Graham Nash stole my grilfriend.
Barry: Neil, this is serious. We’re going against the megalith. I need your attention.
Neil: OAC is like Cortez the Killer. And Crosby is an EGOTIST.
Barry; Get your self together...
Neil: That could be a song PEOPLE! GET YOUR SELF TOGETHER... I’ll share the royalties.
Barry: I see you have lost it!
Neil: That could be another song... I SEE YOU LOST IT! God, I’m getting my groove back and don’t have to pretend I’m an Injun or jump in the volcano.
Barry: Somebody help me with this dope.
Neil: Another song I’VE SEEN THE NEEDLE AND THE DOPE DONE.
Barry: You’re a clown! Joe Rogan does have a point! But, Neil, you’re an imbecile and me too for talking to you.
Neil:...a little damage in everyone...
Rand’s take was great:
@RandPaul
Bye Bye, Hey Hey
Neil Young is gone today
It’s better to boycott
Than to just obey
Bye Bye, Hey Hey

“Funny how all the girls in the 1970’s loved him but he was a queer the entire time.”
And in the 80’s it was George Michael.
Oh no, not Manilow! Now where will I go to hear homosexual cabaret?
Bye
