On Tuesday, Neil Young gave streaming service Spotify an ultimatum.
“I want you to let Spotify know immediately TODAY that I want all my music off their platform,” he told them. “They can have Rogan or Young. Not both.”
Well, Spotify chose Joe Rogan.
According to a report from Wall Street Journal, the streaming giant is “in the process of removing Neil Young’s music” from the platform.
“I am doing this because Spotify is spreading fake information about vaccines—potentially causing death to those who believe the disinformation being spread by them.” Spotify chose to honor their $100+ million contract with Rogan

While rust never sleeps, money always talks. Young will be back, quietly.

Spotify decided to show Neil Young (and other self-righteous musicians) that there are consequences for issuing ultimatums.

I guess if the things you're famous (and rich) for doing happened over 30 years ago, it may be wise to keep your profile low.

He must of had that look on his face like my ex-wife did when I took her on her divorce-me bluff and had papers served to her.

I imagine it's lost on Neil Young that he's acting like a good little commie trying to stifle any speech he doesn't agree with. Talk about schadenfreude.

Neil. Shut up and sing, because it's better to burn out than to fade away...

I am so proud of Spotify. I knew they wouldn't dump Joe Rogan, since he is a massive cash cow for them.
But I seriously thought they would just ignore Neil Young, since Neil Young doesn't own his music -- his record label does. So unless his label pulled his music (which they would not want to do), Neil was totally impotent to do anything to Spotify.
But Spotify called his bluff, and dumped him like the ridiculous washed-up spoiled old hippy snowflake that he is truly. How cool is that!!! I'm guessing Neil will miss that revenue pretty quickly and will quietly request to be reinstated. Hopefully Spotify will make sure it is very loud and public when Neil comes crawling back!!!

Only reason he hung with Crosby, Stills and Nash was that from time to time they needed a soprano. Lousy singer and not much of a songwriter. Silly Canuck thinks he's Bob Dylan.

Neil Young sucks - I'd call him a has been but he's a never was. CSN made their best music without him and he had 2 hits? If I were to torture a person, I'd play neil young music over and over again.

Good for Spotify!
Hey Neil.....Don't let the Door Hit ya where the good Lord Split ya!
As many others have said, quoting the group Alabama..... "we don't need him around anyhow."

When I started dating my second (and last) wife, I had two cats. They were my buds. I told her early in our relationship not to make me choose between them and her...she might not like the answer. Neil misjudged his worth. It's not the first time he has let his ego run wild.

I had to Google Young's best songs. I only knew one or two and I had none of them in my collection. Frankly, I don't feel the loss.

Young's attempt at cancelling others backfired.
If the Almighty American DOLLAR wasn't involved, Spotify WOULD have caved.....

Neil Young wrote some good songs, but I can live without him. I like listening to music from people who shut up about their commie politics.

I like his music. He does have talent. He can fill an empty page with words and set them to music that people will listen to and they purchase. All musicians/actors/writers/comedians etc., should take heed and begin actively campaigning to eliminate cancel culture from our lives. No one wins with cancel culture.

The CDC, FDA, and NIH can still use 'The Needle and the Damage Done' as their theme song if they want to.

The irony is, it is the democrats, Fed officials and others who are spreading the misinformation and actually killing people with their toxic jabs. The brazenness of this, and the fact the media is totes cool with it, just baffles me that so many people are buying into the lies.
