Neil Young: "Rogan or me."

Scratching my over that.

Rogan endorsed Ron Paul in the 2012 U.S. presidential campaign[89] and voted for Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.[90] He endorsed Bernie Sanders during the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries,[84] but ended up voting for Jo Jorgensen in the general election.[91]

A little better but weird all the same. You couldn't have more diametrically opposed policy visions than Paul and Sanders.

Yup. Though he "endorsed" Bernie, he voted libertarian.

Similarly, he endorsed Ron Paul and voted for Gary Johnson.

Some endorsement.

The more cynical among us might think...nah.

The sad thing is that it seems to matter to people how somebody who is essentially a chat-show host voted.

Tonight, for the first time, I saw some video with Joe Rogan.

Tucker Carlson is apparently a big Joe Rogan fan and he was defending Mr. Rogan.

I still know nothing about him, but if he is ok with Tucker, I guess I should look into it.

This is all getting a little too condescending- “we must save the rubes’ feeble minds from themselves”

I like listening to people I don’t agree with or those with non-mainstream ideas.

Spotify Removes 70 Episodes of ‘Joe Rogan Experience’; Podcast Host Apologizes for Using N-Word

"... Spotify has pulled an additional 70 episodes of the popular podcaster’s show from the platform.

The 70 episodes removed Friday were originally recorded between 2009 and 2018 ..."

The article does not say anything about the above having any impact on the financials of the Spotify-Rogan deal, so presumably Spotify is still paying Rogan as if none of these has happened.

[George K]

@axtremus I wonder if Spotify has the equivalent of a "morals clause" whereby they can terminate the contract if something the does reflects poorly on the company.

That’s why I follow almost every flat earther on Twitter

Just saw this. I wonder if it has to do with Rogan and a new platform.
