Neil Young has grudgingly returned his catalog to Spotify. He removed his music in 2022 in protest against the streaming service’s exclusive Joe Rogan podcast, accusing the production of spreading “misinformation.” In a new post on his website, Young made no bones about his dislike of Spotify, but explained his move was a reaction to Rogan’s show becoming available on other platforms too. “Spotify, the number one streamer of low-res music in the world – Spotify, where you get less quality than we made – will now be home of my music again,” he wrote. “My decision comes as music...

An important clarification was already delivered by the experts: As to the question whether the bomb was on a timer or remote control, the answer already came in: Remote control. This fact has huge ramifications. WarGonzo blogger Semyon Pegov points out that the person who pressed the remote-control button to ignite the bomb, would have been in visual contact with the car and its occupant: “In other words, the terrorists who were supposedly out to blow Dugin up in his own car, would have observed, how Darya got into the car instead. Not the original target. And then they would...

And if you’re looking for an undeniable example, consider the creation of a specialized school.As relayed by WBHM, an academy’s been created specifically for gay youth and their LGBTQ peers.What’s perhaps most profound is the place of learning’s location: It’s nestled in the heart of Alabama.The Magic City Acceptance Academy (MCAA) is a public charter school that — though open for any and all who wish to apply — “has built affirmation for LGBTQ students into its very foundation.” It opened last fall with over 270 students.Some might assert that all schools are embedded with a rainbow...

Three days after the election, my wife and I were shopping at the Fairway Market in Red Hook, Brooklyn. For those unfamiliar with it, Fairway is a less corporate, more co-op version of Whole Foods, offering pretty produce and exotic cheeses that don’t come cheap. The mood in the store was glum. As in most of Brooklyn, people stared ahead, moving slowly, still in shock from the political earthquake of Tuesday night. After getting our Brazilian Arabica ground for drip (I know, I should really use a French Press), Libby and I walked towards the organic maple syrup. That’s when...

If you’re a Republican from Alabama, it probably infuriates you that the Democrats have held a majority in both houses since Ulysses S. Grant was President. The Alabama Republican Party is pushing hard to make 2010 the year that the tide turns in the Alabama State House (we’ll leave it to Coach Saban to direct the Tide on the gridiron). Coordinating...

Video: “Top Gear” visits Alabama posted at 10:43 am on February 13, 2007 by Allahpundit Send to a Friend | printer-friendly Wikipedia tells me that “Top Gear” is a BBC show about cars. Other than that? No. Comment. Whatsoever. Video here -http://hotair.com/archives/2007/02/13/video-top-gear-visits-alabama/ --- ‘NASCAR SUCKS’ in the home state of the Talladega 500??? LOL! Yeah that’ll get you killed. Of all the phrases they painted on those cars the NASCAR comment would be the most offensive to Alabamans and Alabamwomans.
