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.

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.

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...

Government official calls for censorship:

[Larry]

Yeah, and that's part of a surgeon general's job, huh....

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

[George K]

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.

That’s good.

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.

The dude has some great tunes. I’ll give him that.

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

[Mik]

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

And Jimmy Fallon does a good impression.

[LuFins Dad]

Joe Rogan is on XM… Just Sayin’
