Spotify Was Never Going to Drop Joe Rogan ; 2022.01.27

Neil Young removed his music from the platform

to protest Rogan's vaccine disinformation.

But Spotify is unlikely to cave on its star.

Joni Mitchell says she will follow Neil Young by removing her music

from Spotify due to vaccine misinformation ; 2022.01.29

At least JONI MITCHELL and NEIL YOUNG *stand* for something.

What does BTS stand up for it , care about it ???

How about chattering at the (NYC , USA) UNITED NATIONS -->

'Wash Your Hands ... Stay Safe ... Love Each Other'

*MORE* Music Artists should side with NEIL YOUNG

on this particular issue.

Instead , Sadly , as BTS = *ALL* about THE MONEY.

Can I have a *BARF BAG* with my (USA) BTS McMEAL DEAL ???

Neil Young’s Spotify purge over Joe Rogan clash ; 2022.01.28

The legendary musician’s back catalogue is slowly being removed

from Spotify at his request, following some

of Joe Rogan’s widely disputed Covid-related statements

(SPOTIFY = HOME of the NO MASK + NO VAX = WACKOS ???)

-----

TheHeretic <--

*NOT* clear to me that NEIL YOUNG is insisting that everyone

would agree with him about JOE ROGAN and SPOTIFY ...

He might surely WISH that ... Dr. FAUCI (BIDEN Covid Advisor)

surely wishes that everyone would agree with him ...

Anyway , again , *admire* that NEIL YOUNG *stands up*

to SPOTIFY in this situation ... And hopefully , other

Musical Artists will consider to do this too ...

JONI MITCHELL decided she *agreed* with NEIL YOUNG ...

The MORE that do this about SPOTIFY , the BETTER (my view).

datebook.sfchronicle.com/music/spotify-loses-4-billion-in-market-value-following-neil-young-controversy

SPOTIFY loses $4 billion in market value

following Neil Young controversy ; 2022.01.28

(That would be $$$ *4000* MILLION USD , to be accurate)

Honestly (me) , NOT caring if SPOTIFY was to BANKRUPT DISAPPEAR ...

But , too many like *BTS* make that NOT very likely.

Okay , I *strongly support* what NEIL YOUNG and JONI MITCHELL are doing it ... With regard to SPOTIFY = JOE ROGAN's *BUTT BOY* Service for Distribution of WACKY COVID notions ... Both YOUNG and MITCHELL are CANADIANS (nation) in origin , and long time personal friends ... BUT(T) , I am going to next say something about NEIL YOUNG which I believe a LOT of his DETRACTORS (TRUMP , etc) might find *very* amusing , as past history ... So this will reside in a SPOILER (below) , and mostly nobody will read it , or care about it either ...

Yes , I am *weary* of the BTS 'Cleanly Scrubbed Puppet Boy' Game (if you will) ...

NEIL YOUNG is somewhat an *annoying* cantankerous Canadian (nation) ...

But YOUNG had a *shining* moment of CLARITY (my view) ... As --> ...

SPOTIFY + ROGAN = *TRASH* ... And JONI MITCHELL sees it too ...

I was thinking of *MADONNA* = Ma-DUMB-Uh = The ALCOHOLIC ...

Who has 'shot her mouth off' persistently about USA Politics in *stupid* ways ...

So , *where* is Ma-DUMB-Uh now ??? ... Again , at least JONI MITCHELL

*sees* it that SPOTIFY + ROGAN = *TRASH* ... So , *sober up* , Ma-DUMB-Uh ...

Time to *stand* up and be counted , and give SPOTIFY the 'Heave Ho' , you BIMBO !!!

Okay , that was harsh , but I am NOT taking it back either ...

Quote from Ves

krell, please stop trying to use BTS by peripherally blaming them for things you're trying to bring attention to. These posts sound progressively more desperate for attention and it's looking a bit sad now.

My view , *BTS* (the *Puppet Boys* of K-pop) needs to *stand* and be counted ...

They wanted to chatter at the UNITED NATIONS (NYC , USA) ...

So , let *BTS* chatter about doing the *right* thing for ONCE ...

*BTS* is just *WHORES* for the SPOTIFY MONEY ...

And they surely have a LOT of COMPANY ...

At least NEIL YOUNG and JONI MITCHELL decided *enough* already.

The (UN) WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION actually *complimented*

NEIL YOUNG on what he has done it ... My view is -->

Let BTS give *social messages* to PRChina Leader *XI* in BEIJING ...

What is *SAD* is that MORE ARTISTS have *not* DUMPED SPOTIFY ...

Which , why am I NOT SURPRISED either ...

You might as well call every artist featured in Spotify as money hungry. There are bigger artists who are streamed in Spotify like Drake and Taylor Swift so start there.

"Misinformation about the vaccines is everybody's problem. Neil Young is doing this because he wants rock and roll to exist and his fans to live. This other guy is a complete jackass (Joe ROGAN) who doesn't give a sh*t about anybody or anything except himself," noted singer Sabastian Bach.

Added Observation --> This is that moment , when one realizes

that NOT all CANADA citizens are as JUSTIN BIEBER ...

Both NEIL YOUNG and JONI MITCHELL are *CANADA* sourced.

With the Music Industry ; 2022.01.28

The rock icon, who recently left SPOTIFY ...

has made an art of pushing back ...

against the corporations that distribute his music.

As observation , at least NEIL YOUNG *stands* for something.

What does BTS Group 'stand' for it ??? ... How about -->

BTS = Puppet Boy *SHEEP DOGS* wearing a HYBE Agency collar ???

BTS should visit *BEIJING* (PRChina) ...

And tell Supreme Leader *XI* what to think and do ...

That is what BTS is *good* for it (my view).

And BTS can 'toss in' a *SHOE SHINE* for *XI* ...

Spotify’s Joe Rogan Problem Isn’t Going Away ; 2022.01.31

The controversy is different, in many ways,

from the other conflicts between online stars

and the companies that give them a platform.

*** Begin Quote ***

Mr. ROGAN could quietly capitulate, protecting his ($100 Million USD) SPOTIFY deal and backing away from the Covid-skeptical fringe in a way that doesn’t cost him his reputation as an anti-establishment contrarian. (This outcome looked like the likeliest one on Sunday night, when Mr. Rogan posted a 10-minute Instagram video apologizing for his “out of control” show and pledging to invite more mainstream experts on to discuss the pandemic.)

*** End Quote ***

So *now* , Joe ROGAN will pretend to be that which he is NOT ...

And SPOTIFY will sell that notion of disgusting deception.

Why more musicians haven’t joined NEIL YOUNG's SPOTIFY BOYCOTT

over Joe ROGAN ; 2022.02.01

*** Begin Quoting ***

Although artists these days make most of their money touring, royalty checks from Spotify are not easy to part with. Billboard estimated that Young and Mitchell are forsaking 10% of their annual earnings to bail on Spotify ...

"Streaming income, while by no means the whole income picture, is the key income source now, and it’s driving the sky-high valuations that are allowing some artists to sell off and then sail off into the sunset with a yacht-load of cash," said Bill Hochberg, a music industry lawyer in Los Angeles.

Opinion: What the Neil Young-Spotify moment teaches us ; 2022.02.01

*** Begin Quote ***

Bottom line: Rogan is free to express his beliefs and to interview whomever he chooses, such as infectious-disease specialist Robert Malone, who shares his skepticism. If a virologist who long ago worked on the technology used in the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, as Malone did, has his doubts, why wouldn’t people be interested in hearing what he has to say? There are reasons, but none that would prohibit his speech.

*** End Quote ***

As observation -->

Let Joe ROGAN 'stream his wisdom' via TRUMP's New 'SERVICE'

that will offer that ... Nobody advocates that ROGAN is silenced.

But SPOTIFY giving ROGAN *credibility* that he does NOT deserve it ...

Seems NOT a 'Freedom of Speech' win for anyone.

USA Health Care Workers want *VACCINATED* citizens ...

As they deal with their COVID infection problems ...

THAT should be *CLUE ENOUGH* , even for someone

who cashes a paycheck at the Washington Post Newspaper.

But yes , I support that SPOTIFY should be able

to *DEEP THROAT* Joe ROGAN , as much as they want.

And Music Artists , like NEIL YOUNG and JONI MITCHELL ...

Should be *admired* to 'pull the plug' on SPOTIFY ...

And other Music Artists , should do the same ...

And Music CONSUMERS , should find *another*

'Streaming Service' than SPOTIFY (my view).

Joe ROGAN critics Neil YOUNG and Joni MITCHELL have their history

of offenses ; 2022.02.02 ... The aging artists pulled their music

from SPOTIFY in protest of podcast giant Joe Rogan

As observation -->

That YOUNG and MITCHELL have some past wacky racist moments ...

Is NOT causing anyone to be COVID DEAD ... They are both

losing SIGNIFICANT INCOME by 'pulling out' of SPOTIFY ...

NO DOUBT in my mind that TRUMP prefers *D.C RIOT* 'heroes'

over YOUNG and MITCHELL ... And no accounting for taste ...

FOX *POX* NEWS would surely know.

And remember -->

O.J. SIMPSON (ROGAN , SPOTIFY) is INNOCENT ...

Because MARK FURMAN (YOUNG , MITCHELL) ...

Is a RACIST ???

SPOTIFY CEO told employees that Joe ROGAN is necessary

for the streamer to achieve its 'bold ambitions'

and 'find leverage' over competitors: report ; 2022.02.03

*** Begin SPOTIFY CEO Quote ***

"If we want even a shot at achieving our bold ambitions, it will mean having content on Spotify that many of us may not be proud to be associated with," CEO ELK said, according to The Verge (News Media Outlet). "Not anything goes, but there will be opinions, ideas, and beliefs that we disagree with strongly and even makes us angry or sad."

*** End SPOTIFY CEO Quote ***

As observation -->

So , likely *misleading* COVID information from ROGAN ...

That might even be deadly to some ...

Is framed as 'the healthy competition of ideas' ...

There are *other* streaming music services than SPOTIFY ...

I choose to leave it there.
