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.”

Concisely and accurately stated ... which means it will have no affect on irrationally frightened, irretrievably ignorant people ... especially those who have devolved into bullies — “vaccine” and mask bullies.

To: Houserino
I'm perfectly OK with lefty artists self-selecting their cancellation.

I might have to switch to them at this rate. I just did. I cancelled my Pandora subscription, which I rarely listen to because I mostly listen to Apple Music, and added Spotify Premium (which I'll probably also rarely listen to because I'm happy with Apple Music). I wanted to support Spotify, Rogan and free speech.

* Peter FramptonPeter Frampton is still on Spotify. He only said he supported Neil Young's decision to leave the platform, not that he'd join him.

ok, so one micro-tick up from total shit. Spotify is still safe. Let me know when it gets interesting. Springsteen is free to leave also.
To: newfreep
That’s an ad homenim attack on me and is not allowed
You are making an assertion against Neil Young and provide no evidence other than to say someone said it then you tell questioners to reasearch it themselves
If you can’t see you’re wasting peoples’ time and reducing the level of free republics credibility, that is your problem
Now please stop talking to me. Now.

Spotify doesn’t choose your music. You make your own playlists. FYI.

Remember the hippie movement was synonymous with that "back to nature" fad from the 70's. Symbolized by R Crumb's creation, Mr Natural
No pesticides or other chemicals in our food, just a simple, all natural holistic approach to health and wellness, avoiding drugs (though they had some serious drug abuse problems themselves) and they were among the ANTI VAXXERS. They preached about how we should follow the ways of the ancient peoples whose lands we "raped and plundered". In this sense we can say the COVID shots are....
RACIST. They were full of 💩 then, they're full of 💩 now and as long as they continue to waste oxygen they will always be full of 💩

I haven’t been on it for a long time. Back in the day, you would name an artist that you liked and they would choose the playlist based on that preference. Then you would either like or not like a song, and they would continue in that vein. So, if they have changed, good for them, and good for them that they dropped Neil and kept Joe.
But I still prefer vinyl. I ran my own recording studio for years and have made cd’s, MP3’s, and have had my music on both YT and Spotify, but I still prefer vinyl for the reasons I have stated.

The following have now left #Spotify due to its support for Joe Rogan’s COVID misinformation: * Neil Young * Joni Mitchell * Barry Manilow * Peter Frampton
According to a supposed survey, a bunch of aging groupies said Frampton, shall we say, didn't, ahem, "measure up" compared to his colleagues. Just sayin'🤔🤔
