Time to Boycott Spotify Earlier this week Legendary rocker Neil Young did his part in the battle against covid misinformation, saying that the streaming music service Spotify "has a responsibility to mitigate the spread of misinformation on its platform." "I want you to let Spotify know immediately TODAY that I want all my music off their platform," said Young. "They can have Rogan or Young. Not both." Young is of course referring to the infamous podcaster and self described "moron" Joe Rogan, who has promoted ivermectin, anti vaccine views and other covid misinformation on Spotify and other platforms. Spotify has paid $100 million, YES MILLION, for the rights to Rogan's nonsense. Unfortunately Rogan has more listeners. So we can't blame them for siding with Joe Rogan as they recently did by removing Neil Young's music. It seems covid misinformation is more profitable than Young's classic rock. Where are all the other musicians at? It would probably help convince Spotify to do the right thing if more artists followed suit with Neil Young, or request that Spotify demand better from Rogan at the very least. Crosby, Stills and Nash have all backed Young, as has Joni Mitchell by removing her music from Spotify, saying "Irresponsible people are spreading lies that are costing people their lives. I stand in solidarity with Neil Young and the global scientific and medical communities on this issue." We stand with you, Neil Young. Rogan and Spotify you can kiss our tabbin a$$es. This pandemic isn't a f$#king game and the misinformed are dragging it out. The fact that they are doing this at the current freaking peak of covid cases and hospitalizations is astounding.
