Neil Young’s music is back on Spotify.
Last month, Young removed his library from Spotify after the service refused to censor Joe Rogan. But just a few weeks later, Young’s team quietly reuploaded his music, says FOX Business. That’s what you call an unsuccessful boycott.
Neil Young’s music quietly returns to Spotify amid Joe Rogan protest https://t.co/MXBgyii5PS
— Fox News (@FoxNews) February 15, 2022
Young cried that Rogan was spreading “false information about vaccines — potentially causing death to those who believe the disinformation.” He told Spotify it “can have Rogan or Young. Not both.”
Spotify chose Rogan but added that it hoped Young would return soon. He returned soon, indeed.
OutKick’s Anthony Farris recently discussed Spotify’s decision:
Rogan’s podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, is housed exclusively on Spotify and generates an estimated 11 million listeners per episode. Young’s music is estimated to attract about 6 million listeners per month.
If Young wonders whether his silly, embarrassing demand has resonated with people, all he has to do is scroll through social media. Apparently, the market for a 76-year-old has-been with shit music and even shittier opinions isn’t as robust as it once was.
Young’s reps and Spotify did not respond to FOX Business’ request for comment, A spokesperson from Warner Bros. Records, however, told FOX it had “no comment or statement.”
Who?
Guess the dollars are worth more than the “ideals”.
I think The Who are still on Spotify.
Heh, hypocrite.
Brother and I would love to see The Who in Cincinnati May 15 but neither of us will take the risky vaxx to do so. Might submit to mask theater, but no more.
Young’s just another loud virtue signaler.
He did not own the rights to the music anymore. My bet is that the label contacted Spotify wanting their investment available
Young convinced his label to take it down in the first place.
My guess is they quickly realized that outside of Spotify, they’re not making *any* money off his catalog. Back up it went.
I posted a similar article from Fox and deleted it. He has not “returned,” as claimed. Instead, the only Neil Young music on Spotify is from movie soundtracks or other events that featured him but were released by other entities. Fox later changed their Neil Young quietly RETURNS! headline to Some of Neil Young’s music stays...
Giggle, snicker, giggle.
Wait, what? I saw the Who at Shes Stadium in Flushing, Queens, New York in 1983. It was billed as the Who’s farewell tour. They were breaking up. You must be talking about a new band also named the Who. Like the Who Two or simething...😎
Saw The Who in Louisville in 1982 on their “Farewell Tour”. Was 17, am now 56. Will I have said farewell to this earth while The Who, Cher, Kiss, and others are still doing farewell tours? At least the Stones are honest. We’ll tour as long as we can make it two hours in our wheelchairs. Phil Collins, 71, sings only, seated now. Last tour entitled “Not Dead Yet”.
Who’s on first?
It probably went something like this,
Dirty hippy “ Hey neil , we’re out of patchouli.”
Neil “damnit”.
I think the legal owners of the tunes (not any longer Neil Young, as of 2019)...told Neil to shut up and accept the current deal. I doubt if anyone would be near what Spotify was paying.
Death ain’t what it used to be. Cha-ching!
The only places it makes even an iota of sense to don a mask for the COOF is in a medical facility, nursing home, or some other place where there are people either sick, or at high risk; including yourself. Do it for any other reason, like going to a concert and you might as well submit to taking the poke as well. I mean one puts a mask on for a concert, or a cruise, or so "life can go back to normal" and you've already compromised the ideas of freedom, sovereignty and actual science. You might as well go full low information sheeple at that point.
Of course, if they are on tour and with the average age of a Who fan, going to one of their concerts might qualify as going some place where there are people of high risk.
🤨
***Starts to smell a rat***
I think we were sold a bill of goods!
That Pete Townsend...I should have known he was not to be trusted...
