Joe Rogan has addressed recent criticism that his podcast "The Joe Rogan Experience" has helped to spread COVID-19 misinformation.
A backlash from scientists and health professionals prompted Neil Young and Joni Mitchell to request that their music be taken off Spotify, which owns the podcast.
In a video posted to Instagram Sunday, Rogan said of Young and Mitchell: "I'm very sorry that they feel that way. I most certainly don't want that."
He added: "I want to thank Spotify for being so supportive during this time and I'm very sorry that this is happening to them and that they're taking so much heat from it."

He realized he is an employee, not an owner.
Maybe he’ll have Neil Young and Joni Mitchell as guests?
It sounded more like the kind of crap you say when you’re reaching out and trying to calm things down.
What he said that I found disappointing is that he erred in having guests with a differing opinion on his show right after he had on Drs. Malone and McCullough.
I say he double down and invite the opposition to debate any of the good doctors.....they won’t, thus exposing them.
The "artists" pulling or threatening to pull their music from Spotify are ones that didn't make much from it anyway.
Spotify is for younger listeners. Ossify is for old fossils.
He always claimed to be left.
He also claimed to think, and asked some great questions. He has a gift of being a great interviewer. But ultimately, he took the contract.
someone explain to me why Dr Sanjay Gupta is doing PSAs on conservative radio.
the man is a dufus, with some kind of a contract.
telling me how to live a better life...
It's sort of like those USFL players back in the 1980s who signed enormous contracts with their teams. It didn't matter if a guy signed a $20 million contract over ten years if the league was going to fold after Year 2 or Year 3 anyway.
Joe may have stock options.
Spotify stock price got hammered last week.
Most people tend to talk their position when it comes to their own wallet.
Talk to me when you have a $100 million contract
This is hilarious! Everyone responded angrily to Rogan without even reading 66 words into the excerpt.
It's easy to be a fool when all you read is the headline.
Pretty clear that you read the headline and didn’t read what he actually said.

Par for the course these days.
“Warning to fellow conservatives. This is a fight between two groups of atheists. There is no place for us on either side of this fight. Best to observe from the distance.”

Hear, hear! Certainly bears repeating.
Sit back and let them play their influence games. I wouldn’t support any of them because they’re not worth supporting. Their foundations are built on sand.
LOL! So many clowns just regurgitate headlines and never read a thing further.

YEP!
Many of the people in the trailer park crowd simply are incapable of rational thought beyond the one-liners that they throw up. These clowns simply read whatever the media spins as a headline, and then throw up whatever is the trailer park line for the day.
LOVES Uber leftists Tulsi Gabbard and Michelle Obama. Don’t trust him.
I’ve never bothered stealing any music from this Bruce Springfield guy or this Nels Lifgrun dude.
Rogan caved, he said he thinks having covid disinformation warnings are a good thing - so now every time he has someone on who doesn’t tow the narrative, everything they say will have a disinformation tag on it.
They got to him....not exactly a firm believer in first amendment!!!
