The disembodied “voice” of an artist can say all kinds of things through their art and connect with people of different bents. It’s different when they come out of the shadows and verbally tell YOU personally how to live, what to listen to, who to buy from. They are now politicians, trying to hide behind their fame and artistic persona to avoid scrutiny.

Nils Lofgren, like Neil Young and Joni Mitchell, is moving from Spotify to Ossify,
...the channel for old fossils that no one listens to anyway.

Nils Lofgren WOW I NEVER KNEW YOU. TOO BAD. GO LIGHT UP A BIG FAT ONE.

Nope.   Never heard of them.

So I just tried to Google " WOW I NEVER KNEW YOU." and nothing came up.

Then I googled "TOO BAD" and found a song by Nickelback from 2001 which of course I've never heard of.

Then I Googled "GO LIGHT UP A BIG FAT ONE" and the hits I got were for a different song by the Cypress Hill Gang from the soundtrack of the movie Friday.

Now tell me again what that has to do with the unknown Nils Lofgren (at least by me and Google).

I have heard of Bruce Springsteen with his hits "Born in the USA" and "Born to Run."   So there's that.   I have also never had the urge to join Spotify or any one of the streaming music platforms.   I'd rather get my music on the run.

Right?? Ok, Nils. We’ll try to care.

Captain Phil was awesome. Yesterday was 11 years since he had the stroke, Feb 9th will be 11 years since he died.

This is my third Freeper nom de plum - I was so moved by his death I changed it on a very short whim. I’ve actually been an ignorant smart ass around here since ... 1999 or thereabouts. I was schooled by - what was then - the best, the senior class of Mia T, Little Green Footballs, ect., and et al.

Anyway, cheers, and happy trails :)

Neil Young and Joni Mitchell were hippies all for freedom.

Now, from all the dope they’ve smoked their brains are hard (not malleable-like Joe Bidend and Afghanistan, Joe was incapable of changing his mind. His brain got hard).

The same hippies, in the Vatican, are desperately trying to write into canon law old Vatican II policies that were meant to kill the church.

My thought exactly.

I’ll bet none of them even know the exact, specific reasons for why theyre pulling their music from spotify. Sure, Neil Young gave some vague reason about Rogan spreading covid misinformation. But just what misinformation is that and exactly how is it “misinformation”? I’ll bet neither Neil Young, Joni, etc, could explain it in any detail, much less prove it.

So send money to Rogan and ask him to give it to Spotify... He will OWN it before this stupidity is done.

Yep— played in front of the Lincoln Memorial (of Course— for the Lincoln Brigade) with... card carrying Stalinist/Communist “folkie” down for the “union”... Pete Seeger. 60’s REDS! And as Levin calls theme, as did Mike Savage-— Red Diaper doper babies, living in the past and still pushing their crapola.
Yeah, a real tough guy Jersey Shore... whatever, that is who Springsteen is, covering his Commie origins and supporters in industry.

Both Young and Joni Mitchell (her name was Anderson until she married Chad Mitchell - of the American Trio), both are CANADIANS!

Canada gives preferential airplay to Canadian artists on radio in Canada by LAW. Socialist LAW... and their dominance from the air play played over the border into Detroit, Buffalo, Chi-town and the rest of the New England Folkie Socialist crowd— people like Bernie Sanders when... younger.

Real American artists had to slug it out touring, and try to get INTO Canada for tour dates but often shut out. Canadian Bands and their management did this. LOOK what the Covid restrictions are doing to US trucking Companys AND to the Canadian companies in-country! Trudeau-— the little Fidelista Socialist Canadiennnnne tootie.
