Old man take a look at your life
Doesn't mean that much to me
To mean that much to you

Spotify Technology S.A. says it will pull left-wing rocker Neil Young’s music from its platform, The Wall Street Journal reports. The reported move comes just days after Young demanded, in an open letter, that Spotify either remove his music or blacklist Joe Rogan and his popular podcast.

[LMAO]

You would think that he would want his music to be exposed to as many people as possible instead of acting like a petulant child.

I have heard that sometimes people when they age, they enter what’s called a second childhood.

This is an example of the Hippy Flip which has happened over the last several decades. The free-love communist stoners of the 60s grew up to become Leftist Fascists who will not tolerate anyone who disagrees with anything they think, anything they do or say. The people who call themselves 'tolerant of all points of view' are the most intolerant people on Earth.

You can see these fascists in every college campus and school across America. Students are 'forced' to lie about history and what they believe simply to pass the course. Because if they disagree with anything, they will be failed. The tests are not so much about how much a student knows, but rather it is a test of whether or not they have been indoctrinated and are onboard with the program.

Young is probably devastated by losing dozens of dollars.

Maybe he can give Napster a call.

He just lost 60% of his revenue stream.

I read Neil sold his book of songs years ago and had no legal recourse against spotify.  But I love that Spotify said FNY

Looking forward to seeing him as a Walmart greeter.

He sold a 50% interest in his song catalog to a hedge fund that invests in song catalogs several years ago.

Think they'll let him park his trailer on the lot?

Even better that they did it after he took down his letter of demand, probably right after his label got tired of his calls and demands and yanked his azz into the real world.

So the guy who made his fortune by freely expressing himself sees no problem with trying to shut down others who are expressing themselves.  Nice to see spotify refuse to crater to the blackmail.  We won't do away with cancel culture until business stand up to this type of crap.

Young has enough fu money (200 million) where he won't be on a sidewalk busking for change.
I certainly don't give a good gdamn about what some old  rocker whose songs I haven't listened to for decades does.

He ruined Crosby, Stills and Nash with his shitty guitar, and equally shitty voice.  May he roast for that.

And he had one good song. ONE. “Old Man”. That’s it.

Edit: I take that back. “Heart of Gold” is a good song as well. So he had TWO good songs.

Yeah, I guess Young's voice and electric guitar was an acquired taste. Not quite mine.

It was like what Michael McDonald did to the Doobie Brothers.  Ruined.  A walking dead zombie band, selling albums before just falling apart.  Gawd, I can still hear MM howling.......

Young's a legend in rock and roll.  His career has spaned from Buffalo Springfield, Woodstock, CSN&Y, a solo career that included one of the best albums at the turn of the 70/80 decade, Rust Never Sleeps.  He even had Pearl Jam act as his back up band in the late '80's  He is a left wing turd granted, and  a relic who is way past his shelf life.

But downplaying his career in rock and roll is short sided.

Yes, when I heard McDonald's  pseudo-black voice "You don't know me but I'm your brother" screeching from the car radio lecturing all us evil honkies about our nasty racism, I knew the Doobies were cooked.

We will have to agree to disagree on this one. 

[berdie]

Whether he is a good musician or not isn't the issue. At least not to me.

The amazing thing to me is that, since he is pretty irrevelant, he still thinks he calls the shot.

[Wingnut]

It is sad when the artist thinks he is better than the music.
