Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young are getting the band back together to boycott Spotify.
On Wednesday, David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash announced plans to “remove their collective recordings from Spotify” in solidarity with their bandmate Neil Young, who took a stand against the streaming giant last month. Nash individually renounced the platform earlier this week.
“While we always value alternate points of view, knowingly spreading disinformation during this global pandemic has deadly consequences,” Crosby, Stills and Nash said in a joint statement.
“Until real action is taken to show that a concern for humanity must be balanced with commerce, we don’t want our music - or the music we made together - to be on the same platform.”
On Jan. 26, Young became the first of several entertainment figures to pull his content from Spotify in opposition to the audio service’s ongoing support of Rogan. Other artists who soon followed suit include Joni Mitchell, Nils Lofgren, India Arie and, of course, Nash.
“There is a difference between being open to varying viewpoints on a matter and knowingly spreading false information which some 270 medical professionals have derided as not only false but dangerous,” Nash said Tuesday.

Right now its aged has beens. Its gonna get worse when newer music heavy weights start pulling their music. This isn’t gonna end well.
My era. Another shitty band from the 60’s. Didn’t like them them. Really don’t like them now.
Any “artist” who objects to free speech is a complete phony.
Why don’t the people who disagree with him go on his show and debate him?
They had some talent that was decent 50y ago. Their sound died with those times. They are totally irrelevant to the music scene today. Grandpa rockers.
Excellent memory. How though?
Just a song before you go?
Here’s the deal. The artists have long been complaining that Spotify isn’t paying them enough. Then they see what Spotify is paying Rogan.
That’s all this is about....Always the dollars, always the f’ing dollars!
Crosby got a liver transplant after abusing drugs and alcohol for years.
Then on to the next target by the woke mob.
I thought trying to get someone who has not harmed you fired was a tort.
Joe is over the target and taking flack.
It's going to get worse for Spotify. Right now it's largely has-beens yanking their music but soon it'll be bigger names because the small but very loud Twitter mob is going to make every artist on Spotify defend themselves.
And these people always buckle.
Before long, Spotify will consist of Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, and Joe Rogan.
Spotify will probably ditch Rogan and pay off his contract.
Of course, Joe Rogan isn't going to go away. He has F-You money. He has 11,000,000 listeners each week. He has the number one podcast in the world and wherever he winds up, millions will follow.
I have an idea, why don’t we just go back to buying the CDs of the artists we like, and supporting them more directly?
Crazy, I know.
No he won't. See my post right above this one. He might lose his contract with Spotify but he'll go somewhere else and take 11 million listeners with him.
That's my point. All Spotify had to do is to tell these has-beens to pound sand, we stand behind Rogan. Maybe the artists would have still pulled their music, but the threats from the Left would have screeched to a halt.
But Spotify put up a disclaimer on Rogan's show, so that's why the Left is continuing to go after them. You never appease or compromise with the Left.
Nice job...
Question, did those 270 include any specifics or facts as to the misinfo or disinfo from the intricately involved doctors? And really, what’s 270 in relation to how many doctors, nurses and other health professionals out there? Probably less than the .06 chance of dying from Covid-1984.
But I have known some hippies like those guys, and I detested them. It brings this to mind:
Instead of "I hate Illinois Nazis", it is "I hate Musician Hippies".
