Joni has now joined Neil.
Honestly I don’t care one way or the other as what’s not on Spotify I can get on Apple Music.
What I would like to see if now an avalanche of classic stars follow suit and see if they can break Spotify’s will to fight. Would be an Interesting social media experiment.

Indeed.
Some little part of me says that Spotify has the interest of the artists at heart, but it is the revenue from Rogan that puts food in its belly.
Like you said, I don't care either way, but I'll make some popcorn.

Neil has removed the original letter, by the way.
He put up a new one: "https://neilyoungarchives.com/news/1/article?id=Spotify-More-Songs-Less-Sound"
He talks about the sound quality of Spotify's streaming, and in the last paragraph, he says,
"I support free speech. I have never been in favor of censorship."
OK then.

There's interesting stuff about royalties in this story which @Larry might find interesting.

That's why I always preferred to be in the background, and work for the suits instead of the artists themselves. Artists that aren't touring, or writing their own songs better love being famous, because that's their biggest reward. I'd rather have just a piece of the writer royalties and no one ever know who I am than to be famous s a performer of other people's songs.

Spotify isn't the one who determined how royalties work, or how a given artist has structured his business. As for Neil Young, he should be grateful he ever made a dime in his life. Same for Frampton. Other than "do you feel" where he introduced the public to the wonders of the Voice Box, he didn't have much. If someone who is still getting airplay pulled this stunt Spotify's reaction might be different. But Young and Frampton??? Nah...

The entire Biden administration is made up of the worst kinds of fools.

Actually, he didn't specify Rogan, but said that tech should prevent the spread of misinformation.

As I said, the Ministry of Truth. Coming to a neighborhood near you, and right soon.

So Mitchell and Young were fine with sharing a platform with sex traffickers, sexual predators, domestic abusers, and more... But somebody that recommended taking a relatively safe drug that has conflicting reports on efficacy is a bridge too far for them?

And in other free enterprise news, Sirius/XM is debuting a Neil Young channel.
Any publicity is good publicity, I guess.

Indeed. I could never stand his voice. The only album I could listen to was Harvest Moon.

I like him. He's done some very inventive stuff at times when it went against the grain. Very distinctive guitar style.
