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For the record, his website was so outdated it’s called Neil Young Archives, and I was not even able to copy and paste the above quote because of its outdated technology.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

So....all the gaywads are joining up.
“Where is Cher?”
I was just thinking the same thing! Dump her too!
All the Beatles music was bought by Michael Jackson.
As long as Burt Bacharach stays out of it we’ll be safe.
Sorry, Berry, but
You know I CAN smile without you
I CAN smile without you
I CAN laugh and I CAN sing
It’s not very hard to do anything...
Who?
This is dreadful news, it’s extremely difficult to find music online these days.
He bought “Beatles” music, but Paul went on to a rather lucrative career on his own. That was not part of the Northern Lights collection.
I wonder if he stole that outfit from the Liberace museum, or if Liberace gifted it to him, himself.
Not anymore.
But I’m on Spotify, and you can sign up for a free account. Look for me here:

No Barry and no Neil!!
Arrrgh!!!!
At least I have my ABBA!
I saw one of those jokes in a science-fiction comic, set in the far future, where a character complained about a loud TV show by saying, “Turn that Barrymaniloh down!”
No more Barely ManEnough on Spotify? I’m crushed!
Did Barry die of AIDS in 1985?
Neil Young has never had this much publicity, and for free.
Remember, any publicity is good publicity.
So now Barry Mainalow and probably all of the unknown has-been singers want to get free publicity also.
The last time I saw Frampton, he had lost all the hair he had in the 1970s.
I really hope Leif Garret doesn’t join this madness
So, Spotify is improve a half a percent..?
