Getting old is neither easy nor fun. It’s part of life, and it’s a challenge we all must face. One key aspect of that challenge is being able to stay current. We must strive to not only understand the changes affecting our families, our individual health, and our own spheres of influence, but we must also work to grasp the realities of an ever-changing society. Neil Young is a 76-year-old singer/songwriter and, based on his sparse musical output over the past few decades, his recent focus has not been on producing compelling, appealing music. And after what we witnessed this week, it’s also safe to say that Mr. Young

If a conservative doesn't like a blogger, he or she doesn't listen to the blogger. We may call them (well-deserved) names, but we don't demand that they be silenced. Heck, if anything, we want them to keep talking so that everyone can see just how evil and illogical lie-berals truly are.
If a lie-beral doesn't like a blogger, they demand that the blogger be destroyed and silenced. How very fascist of them!!!

I’ve known Neil for a long time . He is actually pretty conservative but his mouth overrides his head.

I know how to play more Neil Young songs on the guitar than those of any other artist; however, if he thought Spotify would jettison Joe Rogan, in order to keep ~him~ on the platform, demonstrates a sense of self-importance that would have been unjustified fifty years ago, never mind today. Online music isn’t Hollywood or the Academy—its purveyors actually care about making a buck, not moral preening.

He is really making a fool of himself. First he threatened Spotify, wanted his songs removed. Then he backpedaled. Now he is urging others to have their songs removed. Now it seems that he sold at least a 50% interest in his songs to someone, so he is not the sole owner. Maybe Zhou Biden isn’t the only senile Dem Liberal out there?

It's amusing to remember that Young was a significant part of the brain-dead 60's-70's Rock era that warned us all that threats to our freedoms would come from the political right.
Didn't quite work out that way, did it?

Maybe the most annoying, unlistenable voice in music.
I thought he retired. I couldn’t care less if he was on Spotify or radio I wouldn’t listen to him even before he got stupid.

He is initiating a boycott, not a protest, and what he is doing may just be illegal. Coercing a company to take away a man's income is not just a simple protest.

@#2 - If Neil is conservative, he's done a great job of hiding it. I've never heard him put forth a single conservative thought. In fact, it seems about every 5 years there is something he feels he needs to publicly bellyache about.

I like his song 'Harvest Moon' but that's about it. I don't about Spotify, play it on Amazon Music.

Neil Young and Crazy Horse wrote the soundtrack of my senior year of high school. Love his old stuff. But he's another Canadian Commie.

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Always thought of them as three guys who could sing and Young.
Just glad Young was not there to screw up Suite Judy Blue Eyes and Marrakesh Express.

Well now we know for sure that his song "The Needle and the Damage Done" is autobiographical.

When did the hippies become the establishment? I guess it goes to show they've never really had any real beliefs, they just go where the wind blows them.

As I heard it, NY lost control of all his music rights decades ago...there's nothing to sell or stop selling etc.
There's not a single song left that he could send out to fetch him a coffee.

Saw Neil Young 30+ years ago at Gilley’s in Pasadena (TX). The single most boring concert I ever went to, combined with a splitting headache from the smoke (not tobacco) has not left me with a good opinion of ol’ Neil.

Thanks everyone that posted names of songs (?) he's done. I don't recognize any of them, and I don't believe I've missed anything. I'm a 50's/60's and a few 70's person. I liked maybe 3 Meatloaf songs, I've got a couple of Janis Joplin albums but the rest of my 3 or 4 hundred CD's and LP's are old classic country or old classic rock and roll! I'm 79 so if I've lasted this long without hearing him, I'll make it to the end without hearing him.

The Left are NOT Liberals.
They are Totalitarian.
They are all for Free Speech..... for Themselves, and for YOU....as long as You AGREE with THEM.
Anyone who Disagrees with them.... SHUT UP or Be Censored.
Of course they don't say 'Censored', today the word is 'Cancelled'.... but it's EXACTLY the SAME THING!

Several more has beens have done the same following neil. I was sad to see Dolly Parton joined him and Frampton, but the others, barry manilover, willie nelson, a liberal weenie from way back, who cares.

I hope Neil Young will remember that Spotify don't need him around, anyhow.
He peaked with Buffalo Springfield.

My son and I were screech/singing his and Joni Mitchell's songs in the car today. All that studio time and no one had the balls to tell these two that they were in the wrong key.
