Great to see an artist standing up to Spotify and challenging Joe Rogan.
Takes guts even if he can afford it.

Neil Young is a brilliant musician. Yeah he certainly takes no bullshit!

Great to see? I think it is one of the sadest things to see that author of a song called "Keep on rockin' in a FREE world" attempts to ban somoene elses freedom to express themslves. Mr Young became a bit of "oldfool" himself. Rebel and a renegade becomes part of the same establishment that he used to rebel against.

Not the first time he's taken the huff and removed his music. Anti establishment now working for the establishment by trying to silence voices that question or go against the narrative.
I'd say more people listen to Joe Rogans podcast that Neil Young on Spotify so not really a loss for Spotify.
Holding on to anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die

I think Neil has a lot of credibility built up over his great career. I'm anti-establishment myself, but that doesn't mean I think Joe Rogan is great. If more people are listening to him than Neil Young then I think that says a lot more about some people these days than Neil Young. I have a lot of questions myself about the vaccine etc., but nonetheless some of these voices these days take absolute shite and there's so many people to back it up. Of course Rogan is pro gun laws too.

Yea fair play. Right after he sold the rights to 50% of his back catalogue for 150 million pound.
Yeah successful people do make money you know...Elvis and The Beatles were worth a few quid also.

Yeah maybe, but sure that's how it goes. We don't have it, but sure another day...another dollar and all that.
