Neil Young wants his songs removed from Spotify because he says the platform is spreading Covid-19 vaccine misinformation through Joe Rogan's podcast

Neil Young, an outspoken advocate for Covid-19 safety and prevention, doesn't want his music to share a home with vaccine misinformation.

In a now-deleted post on his website, Young asked his managers and record label to remove his music from Spotify because he said the music and podcast platform is"spreading fake information about vaccines -- potentially causing death to those who believe this disinformation spread by them." "I want you to let Spotify know immediately TODAY that I want all my music off their platform," the 76-year-old said in Monday's post, according to Rolling Stone.

If you are paying for Spotify, you paying Joe Rogan. Quit Spotify, and let them know why.

Misinformation huh? So how many of those 250 doctors saying being reported in this piece are actual practicing doctors? Specifically what element is misinformation? Specifically, i dare you.

Sadly for him he sold the rights for his music and has no legal basis to ask.

Hero

One would have thought that the man who gave us the song Needle and the Damage done learnt his lesson irony

Yeah cause anyone will care if an 80 year olds irrelevant music is removed lol

jonxsm_

Joe who?

Good, Joe Rogan's definitely doing harm

The last pharmaceutical shill I’d ever thought I’d see

He's still sexy

Sad to see old people become so afraid of the virus that they start to go completely insane

Now contrast Neil's stand on vaccine with Clapton's How in the world did Clapton come to this?

Bye bye don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

Neil who? Nobody cares

What, another person trying to get someone cancelled because they have different views than them, say it ain't so.

I listened to Neil Young on Spotify all day today

Gee let's see joe rogan who has millions and millions of viewers or Neil Young. A musician who hasn't been relevant in decades.

Fancy that…Keep on Rockin in a Free World

Neil young is no longer relevant

He’s still alive? Kinda like CNN. No one cares

Joe Rogan should ask that his podcast be taken off if Spotify continues to play the dribble of Neil Young. Spotify makes way more money with Joe Rogan than with Neil Young / old

Good for Neil. Joe Rogan is un-American

Thanks Neil for taking a stand.

If you Google 'washed up', or 'irrelevant', it's a picture of Neilly. Ironic his name is Young when he's ssooo Old. I hated him in 1967, worse now. Even his good eye is wonky. 😨

Neil who?

Neil Young Sold his Music Catalog. Some Musicians believe their Music is a Positive Influence. I guess Neil isn’t One.

Awesome 😎

Neil Young is the quintessential American and musician. He has always had rock solod, pun intended, values, brilliant creativity and patriotism beyond question. He's a superstar for the ages and an unwavering defender of Democracy.

Canadian eh!

Remember when Neil Young was anti establishment 😂

Good man!!!

💪🏾

I hope Neil Young will remember Spotify don't need him around anyhow

Just label it as fan fiction podcast. It's far from a truthful exploration of scientific facts. At least listeners would know its not journalism - its just fantasy fiction.

Spotify doesn't control what Joe Rogan does or says, if you have a problem with him, you take that up with him. He's the content creator (Joe Rogan). Spotify is just the distributor.

Neil Young looks like COVID if COVID was a person.

Old dude is trying to be relevant and be heard by a younger audience. I'm sure he's hoping people will play his songs on spotify so he can make his money per song play

Ooof. Neil - bud you really misread the room on this one. I mean - you v. Rogan? Come on man.

Good riddance. Who would rather have that crazy ole coot on Spotify than access to some of the only real information being provided?

Neil Young Wants His Music Off Spotify Over Joe Rogan's Vaccine ‘Misinformation'“They can have Rogan or Young. Not both,” Young wrote in a since-deleted open letter to his manager and record label that was posted to his website on Monday. Stand up to these misinformation/disinformation spreaders like Joe Rogan and Aaron Rodgers. There should be consequences to spreading dangerous and deadly inaccuracies Isn't it rich these azzhats from the 1960's and 1970's protests being anti-government, anti-establishment now bend over backwards to do what their government wants from them without question? Shouldn't Young be complaining about potentially going to war over Ukraine? What a joke I trust Joe Rogan more than Dr Fraud Fauci.

Neil Young to Spotify: Either remove my music or Joe Rogan podcastNeil Young has threatened to pull his music from the Spotify streaming service in protest of its relationship with podcaster Joe Rogan, who the prolific singer-songwriter accuses of spreading misinformation about COVID-19, according to media reports on Tuesday. People actually listen to Joe Rogan podcasts? Really? 😂 for what reason? The truth hurts. Joe rogan isn’t always right, but he gives other experts a platform to speak is only a good thing. Why do you think they are silenced in MSM? Because there is a cover up, of some sort. If Spotify tries to remove joe rogan, many will go, me to. Stay in your lane Neil
