Musician Neil Young on Tuesday deleted his post of a letter that directed his management team and record label to remove his music from Spotify over what he views as COVID misinformation spread by podcaster Joe Rogan.
"I want you to let Spotify know immediately TODAY that I want all my music off their platform," he wrote, Rolling Stone reports. "They can have Rogan or Young. Not both."
The part-time Crosby, Stills & Nash member accused Spotify of "spreading fake information about vaccines – potentially causing death to those who believe the disinformation being spread by them."

The needle has apparently done its damage to this fossil.
Take a page from your song. It’s better to burn out, ‘cause Rust Never Sleeps, Old Man.

The Who? (Oh wait, that's a different musical group)
I don't care what any random entertainment nobody says. No one should care. I am still waiting for dozens of them to leave the country after Bush won the election.
These people are just over grown ignorant uneducated tantrum throwing babies.

This old hippie snowflake may have had his little hissy fit, but, ultimately, he does not own his music. His record company does, and I doubt they want to alienate Spotify (since Spotify would clearly choose Joe Rogan, who is their major cash cow, over a washed-up old rocker who hasn't had a hit in decades). It sounds like someone from the label reminded him of that pesky little fact.
Of course, if Neil had more than 4 or 5 working brain cells left, he would have remembered how he had a similar little meltdown when President Trump played Neil's music at his rallies. He told President Trump to stop, and President Trump told him "no". So Neil tried to sue President Trump to force him to stop, but the president's people had properly paid the label for the right to use the music, and the judge told Neil "nope".
Neil Young is a washed-up old hippie snowflake who needs to shut up and sing (which he doesn't actually do very well anymore since he's too old to rock and roll), so he should probably just shut up and hope that people remember a time when he actually still had a little talent and anybody actually cared about him...

Smoke another joint, Neil. You had your 15 minutes when you were young and pretending you are anything but a reminder of other's early life joys is just sad. Unless ,of course, you like acting like a 2-year old.

If Young had any music worth listening to, he might haver some leverage. I never appreciated his complete lack of talent.

Lol. Neil says, “Nevermind”. I like your older catalog Neil, but your politics are wrong-headed.

When I was a young man, Neil Young was the epitome of anti-establishment. A complete “Don’t trust the Government, question authority” renegade. Rocking in the Free World. Now, “Don’t question authority, tow the government line.” What the hell? This is the damaging effect of leftism. The removal of critical thought. The stamping out of freedom. Shame on you, Neil.

Apparently Neil Young remembered nobody listens to him anymore.

That's exactly what he did after he filed a lawsuit against Trump for playing his music at campaign locations, (even though Trump had paid for the rights to play them). Maybe Neil is just a really slow learner. Well, he did save himself a pile of attorney's fees this time.

Well, I do like his Cinnamon Girl.
Oh, wait. He sold the rights to the music years ago. He doesn't have a dog in this fight.

#17 and others are spot on. AND I saw a post that said he may be suffering from what our 'president' has.

I saw a promo for The Today Show this morning and Neil Young/Spotify is one of their outrage dujour stories for today. I stand with Rogan on this one and I have never listened to one of his podcasts.

Alligator lizards in the air?
When I was a young man first learning guitar a better guitar player told me I had a style like Niel Young. I learned later that that wasn't a compliment. 40 years later I'm still working towards my Joe Satriani style.
Kneel and FJB should get together over a bottle of Jack and grouch about how the world doesn't bend to their will.

Nobody cares, Neil. Your music has been old news for many years now.

Does he hold all the licensing rights to his music? If not, he needs to shut up. Even the Beetles had to pay to perform their own music, since Michael Jackson owned the entire catalog.

Why are the posters here being so mean and nasty to Neil Young? Some of my most precious late teenage memories are tied to "Heart of Gold" and Cinnamon Girl", along with music for Crosby, Stills and Nash. I will always treasure his music. I am listening as I type to "old Man, Take a look at my life" and smiling all the way. Long live Neil Young and his music!!!

#5, there never was a time when Neil Young could sing. He always sounded like a wet cat stuck in a paper bag.

Um, #24, that was America, not Neil Young. Most of America’s lyrics are nonsense penned by three potheads. Though their harmonies were nice.

Discovered that he does NOT have control of his music for individual venues, I'll bet.
Old Mr. Young never was the sharpest pencil in the box.

A musician so good he had to leave Canada and come to the US in order to become recognizably famous

My guess, Spotify advised him they would pick Rogan, and those royalties Neil receives would dry up quickly.
