Neil Young: "Rogan or me."
-
Ann Althouse:
"Well, of course, Spotify should side with Joe Rogan. The person who makes an ultimatum like that should lose. It's ridiculous. If that worked, there'd be an obnoxious celebrity throwing his weight around every day.
So much for 'rocking in the free world,' Neil, you big jerk."

She clearly hasn't spent even ten minutes looking into Neil Young.

Kind of like thinking Born In The USA is a pro-American song.

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...

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.

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