Joni Mitchell removes her music from Spotify, joining Neil Young in protest
LA Times ^ | 01/28/2022 | AUGUST BROWN

Joni Mitchell announced Friday that she will join her friend Neil Young in pulling her music off of Spotify.

Mitchell, 78, said in a statement posted to her website, “I’ve decided to remove all my music from Spotify. Irresponsible people are spreading lies that are costing people their lives. I stand in solidarity with Neil Young and the global scientific and medical communities on this issue.”

Mitchell, who like Young survived polio as a child, also linked to an open letter signed by hundreds of doctors and medical professionals who said that Spotify’s top podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience,” promotes “baseless conspiracy theories and has a concerning history of broadcasting misinformation, particularly regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Bunch of old irrelevant hippies are leaving Spotify. I might have to switch to them at this rate.

Another example of what too much weed over the course of one’s lifetime will do to the brain.

Barry Manilow came out and said, say what? I never said that, nor did any of my representatives.

Seriously, he said it was a stupid twitter rumor and he wants to stay on Spotify.

Great news as old hippy baby boomers who ultimately wrecked this country won’t be getting paid just a little bit less. Great day for America.

Oh that’s good if it’s a lie. He’s probably easily the biggest one so far that’s been talked about. Not a fan really anyway.

Funny. These singers used to buck “the man” that’s what their songs were all about. And now that they’re rich and famous, they embrace the man .

Sad to see people who you would think of as progressive and open minded, being so unprogressive and closed minded. Just because the scientist you trust recommend getting vaccinated, doesn’t mean that the scientist who recommend not getting vaccinated are wrong.

The biggest selling point of getting vaccinated was not that the vaccines would save you, it was that the vaccines would save you from getting infected and then you can save others with weak immune systems, especially very young and older people who typically get the regular flu vaccines, from getting infected.

Sadly, the vaccines do not prevent you from getting Covid, so you can still become infected and pass on that infection to others... So what was the point of vaccines? The point of them is now completely moot...

Joni and Neil have been hoodwinked, and now they’re trying to continue on with hoodwinking everybody else... Good luck with that.

Listening to Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez was like hearing fingernails across a blackboard.

Who? Forgive me, I was born in 1970. This person was obviously before my time.
