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.

Thanks poconopundit. Crosby probably learned to love big pharma after a liver transplant.
Thinks because he took a lot of drugs as a kid he is a doctor.
“Will someone explain to me how Rogan spread ‘misinformation’?
He has an opinion.”
Yes you are correct, but what you fail to understand is that Rogan’s opinion is not the same as Neil Young’s opinion: and as a leftist stooge, N.Y. must totally quash any opinion that does not match the leftist agenda.
The writers should have left that one for the commenters.

Indeed, sunkenciv. Big pharma and Big liquor was also the CAUSE of his liver troubles.
OHIO/Spotify
Tin soldiers and Biden’s coming
We’re finally on our own
This summer I hear the drumming
Many cancelled in Spotify
Gotta get down to it
WOKESTERS are cutting us down
Should have been done long ago
What if you knew him
And found him banned and on the ground?
I wonder how many listens they get on Spotify.
> I’ve got a new idea for a hit song for Free Republic’s Pied Paper.
> It’s a parody of David Crosby’s “Almost Cut My Hair”.
I’d need a singer. Not want - need.
Yeah, this song really requires a great voice.
Too bad my audio recording schedule is booked up solid these days :- )
Take care, FRiend.
