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.

“270 medical professionals have derided as not only false but dangerous”
270 people’s opinion? LOL There are over 1 million doctors in the U.S. and 9 million doctors on the planet.
You could a group of 270 people to deride anything.
Jay sekulow Band covered Suite Judy Blue Eyes and it was way better than the original version.
The old farts can join whomever they want. They’re old and ugly and no one cares.
Either speech is free or not. Can’t have a free country with forbidden words and ideas. Mask mandates coincide with the final push to criminalize speech.
Oddly, I cannot retain what Rogan said that was “bad”?
Not about Rogan. These are bitter has-beens. Crosby from last year:
“But, I don’t think that it’s fair that the streaming companies are making billions of dollars. It’s the record labels that own the streaming companies, that’s how it happens. “
Little free publicity is all these has old drug addicts are after.
You think Rogen is getting cancelled.. he got 100 million from Spotify.. how much to you think they pay in royalties to the aged out rejects
This is how freedom ends,
This is how freedom ends,
This is how freedom ends,
Not with a bang, but a cough.
Rogan hasn’t uploaded a podcast since his statement over the weekend. This is very unusual.
My guess is the terms of his continued employment at Spotify are being discussed.
You and me both. I wished I'd appreciated him more when he was still alive.
Exactly.
You play the game you are in, not the one you want to.
Bringing a basket ball to the football field is stupid.
“Nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong”
Today that's flipped. Today they are pro-Pharma and pro-vaccine tyranny.
Crosby was thrown in jail for possession of cocaine in Texas and then then he apparently paid $3 million after he in an intoxicated state his car ran over a jogger.
Neither a hippy nor commie role model. Tried to be "cool" with his song "Almost Cut my Hair". All that nonsense talk about freedom and letting his "freak flag fly" was insincere. He's totally owned by "the Man" he condemned.
That puts Crosby at the top of the list of hypocrites.
Yep, we find out they only cared about “their” freedom of speech, everybody else can FOAD for all they care.
Remember this ditty from Neil....
Ain’t singin’ for Pepsi
Ain’t singin’ for Coke
I don’t sing for nobody
Makes me look like a joke
This note’s for you
(But he’s sure singin’ for Pfizer.)
If you don’t like what Rogan says, don’t listen to him. That’s not enough for some puritans who just want to silence him entirely so that Spotify subscribers don’t have that choice. The cancel-culture mob is relentless.
Rogan is in the end, an employee of Spotify.
If Spotify’s investors decide to dump Rogan, they will have to. That is the way it works.
The “CEO” doesn’t get to make all the decisions, the board and the ones paying the bills do.
We conservatives need to recognize we are being hoist on our own petard here.
Aaaaand...still no artist that I would download or stream
Are the other three big stockholders in Big Pharma like Neil?
Old druggies David and Neil know from pharmaceuticals, that’s for sure.
