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.”

Joni Mitchell doesnt have the clout

Adele got spotify to change the shuffle.

A threat from Adele might do it..but she is in her own PR nightmare. Caesars probably looking to sue her.

I recently heard a rumor about me and Spotify. I don’t know where it started, but it didn’t start with me or anyone who represents me.”

She's ridden that "Court and Spark" wave all the way to where they rent the beach umbrellas.

Damned fine album though...

“I’ve decided to remove all my music from Spotify. Irresponsible people are spreading lies that are costing people their lives.”

So, Joni. Please specify what lies are those and how exactly are they costing people their lives.

We’ll wait.

Yes, since the old hypocrites hate capitalism unless it’s making them rich, not getting any money is pretty fitting.

If her joining Young leads to other Boomer music idiots following suit, it could help further our current fascist censorship.
