Spotify took down Neil Young’s music after the folk-rock star asked that it be removed over what he said is fake information about Covid-19 vaccines being spread on the platform through Joe Rogan’s podcast WSJWhatsNow

Spotify Technology SA has removed Neil Young’s music, the company confirmed Wednesday, as the folk-rock star isn’t wavering in his objections to Joe Rogan’s podcast.

The “Heart of Gold” and “Harvest Moon” singer earlier this week penned an open letter to his manager and label from the service, saying it is spreading fake information about Covid-19 vaccines through Mr. Rogan’s show. “They can have Rogan or Young. Not both,” he wrote.

'Folk-Rock star' isn't a good description of Neil Young. 'Legendary Musician' would be a better description.

What does he expected...telling them what to do with their business? mindyourownbusiness :)))

This feels like what would happen if some third-string special teams player threatened to leave the Chiefs unless they got rid of PatrickMahomes Smh.

Good, because my parents aren't fond of Neil Young's music anyway.

EXPORT LIST/CANCEL/DELETE

Amazing how the anti-establishment crusaders from the past are now Pundits for the establishment!

I guess I last listened to him in the late ‘70s. Does he really think he is some sort of influencer? Repression/ killing free speech because you don’t like the narrative is so progressive fascist. Grow up Neil Young. Whose fact checker are you using? Dinosaur rock is sort of sad.

More like Neil old 🤣🤣🤣 he look bout is old as me !!!

You know if false information is being spread, a man such as Neilyoung has a right not to connect his name with it. Kudos for standing up for protecting his name! SIRIUSXM. AND HELLO SIRIUSXM AND MY RISING STOCK PRICES!

I'm Still Down With Neil Young...

If Spotify dropped Rogan, people would still listen to Rogan. Can’t say the same for Young🤷‍♂️

„over what he said“ 🧐🤔😬

So pathetic he can’t coexist with people on the radio

The headline should be: Neil Young, who made $18/month from his 2 Spotify listeners, is no longer on Spotify.

Has anybody called Neil Young to get his claim on exactly what it was Joe said? I'm assuming he only has a landline.

❄️

The average age of people that listen to Rogan is 24. The average age of people that listen to Neil Young is 75. Which do you think is Spotify's market...

FuckSpotify

Who Is he?

Neil Young requests Spotify remove his music after artist’s ultimatum over Joe Rogan podcastNeil Young, the legendary rocker, reportedly posted a letter on Monday to his management team that he wanted his music pulled from Spotify because it is providing a platform for popular podcast host Joe Rogan to spread COVID-19 vaccine misinformation. So free speech only applies when you agree? What a weirdo country we’ve become… where if you don’t like what somebody else has to say you find the need to issue ultimatums to silence them. I can think of another country… Didn’t Neil Young sell the rights to his catalog ?
