What’s the Joe Rogan thing?

[michigancat]

What are people worried will happen if Joe Rogan continues to have on opinion on Spotify?

the artists are worried that they will profit from and/or generate profits for opinions they think are dangerous. They have a moral objection to that. It's been explained several times and is pretty simple.

Oh, I guess I'm just confused because it doesn't make any sense to me.

I guess so

Having a moral objection to being on the same platform as someone who disagrees with you about the vaccine is just wild.  Does no one else think it's wild?

Having the right to do whatever you want within the democratically passed laws is pretty wild too.  I guess neil young is just wild

He can absolutely do whatever he wants.  As can Spotify.  The motivations are just crazy to me I guess.

I would say his montivation is $$ as it drove rogan fans into a furious rage and has created more attention for Young than he has had in 20 years.  Young must have known the morn rogan base would do this.  Don't look too far past the $$.

Hopefully for Neil Young and his fans, that 1980's Playboy interview doesn't keep bubbling up to the surface.

does neil young still have fans?  I have never met one

Neil Young has been doing this kind of crap for his entire adult life. He wrote a song called Southern Man that nobody still alive has even heard and he got himself inserted into the lyrics of Sweet Home Alabama as a result. Now he's taking a music library that nobody listens to off of Spotify and people are listening to him again. I think he's awesome, personally, even if his music is just ok.

So many Neil Young haters on here. I like his music. Don't really care about him otherwise and only think about him a few times a year, but is the dragging necessary?

[star seed 7]

I respect Mr Young for standing up for his beliefs, even if they are a bit eyerolly.

Heart of Gold is a banger.

Old Man is a good song to have on in the background when you are out in the garage trying to fix something and don't really have any idea what you are doing.

Down By The River is a great song to listen to if you're down by the river and just shot your baby.

Hey Hey, My My is a good song to listen to if you've just come out of the blue and into the black.

The Needle and the Damage done is perfect to listen to if you've just seen the needle and the damage it has done.

[Rage Against the McKee]

All of that sounds accurate to me, but I haven't actually heard any of those songs.

[Spracne]

Don't Let it Bring You Down is good, as well, for those moments where you just need to not let it bring you down, because it's only castles burning.

What if Neil was playing a concert and the headlining set was Joe Rogan interviewing an anti-vaxxer? Would you question why he might choose to not perform?

[chum1]

Oh, man. Heart of Gold and Old Man are definitely great songs.

[Rage Against the McKee]

Keep on Rockin' in the Free World is a good song for when you are sitting down for a nice dinner, but you want to keep it somewhat casual.

rogan still has things on youtube, facebook, IG, twitter, etc. should Neil Young just take himself off the grid altogether?

This whole thing moved me to look at neil young's wikipedia and remind myself what that all was with pearl jam in the 90s.

[MadCat]

Now is the time to sell effigial Neil Young albums to be burned.

[Spracne]

Our House (Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young) is a great song to listen to when you've just moved into your first home with your wife who's pregnant with your first child.
