Dinosaur fossil Neil Young joins the club of narcissistic celebrity clowns
*This is an opinion article*
Neil Young recently threw a temper tantrum at Spotify for allowing Joe Rogan to “spread misinformation” about Covid-19 on his podcast.
Young, born eight hundred years ago, yet miraculously resurrected and awoken by the Woke Ideology, threatened to leave Spotify should they refuse to silence Joe Rogan.
According to The Hollywood Reporter article by J. Clara Chan, “Spotify is in the process of removing Neil Young’s catalog of music from its service after the artist published — then took down — an open letter with an ultimatum: Deal with the vaccine misinformation coming from Joe Rogan’s podcast, or lose Young’s music.”
As you’d expect, just like the FBI and the government, Spotify doesn’t negotiate with terrorists - and that includes triggered jihadists of Woke Uprising.
The article continues:
Two days after the letter was published, Spotify is now in the process of removing Young's music from the streaming service, a Spotify spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter.
“We want all the world's music and audio content to be available to Spotify users. With that comes great responsibility in balancing both safety for listeners and freedom for creators.
We have detailed content policies in place and we've removed over 20,000 podcast episodes related to COVID since the start of the pandemic. We regret Neil's decision to remove his music from Spotify, but hope to welcome him back soon,” the spokesperson told THR.
It doesn’t take a doctor of economics or a NASA scientist to realize that Joe Rogan easily generates Spotify multiple times the amount of money Neil Young ever could.
As reported by Rolling Stone, a meaningless propaganda tabloid that once upon a time used to mean something in popular culture, Young gave Spotify an ultimatum:
“I want you to let Spotify know immediately TODAY that I want all my music off their platform,” (…) “They can have [Joe] Rogan or Young. Not both.”
Young is referencing the steady stream of misinformation about vaccines that Joe Rogan has peddled on The Joe Rogan Experience.
Last month, 270 doctors, physicians, and science educators signed an open letter asking Spotify to stop spreading Rogan’s baseless claims.
Well… That sure as hell backfired quickly, hasn’t it?
What a fantastic example of yet another self-absorbed, virtue-signaling celebrity.
Guess what, shithead? Spotify is a business. They’re in it for money.
According to the same garbage article by Rolling Stone,
Young removed most of his music from Spotify several years ago because he felt the sound quality on the service was too low, but he ultimately relented. “That’s where people get music,” he told Rolling Stone in 2019. “I want people to hear my music no matter what they have to get through to do it. I’m just trying to make it so they hear a lot more and enjoy it a lot more, but sell it for the same price because music is music.”
So it’s not the first time Neil Young had a moment of spiritual woke enlightenment in his dealings with Spotify.
What was he actually thinking? How many people listen to his music, anyway?
According to his Spotify channel, as of January 30, 2022, Young had somewhere around 6 million monthly listeners.
That’s a big number - but it’s nowhere near the audience each episode of Joe Rogan’s podcast attracts. We’re talking about ten million listeners per episode on average, in many cases more than that - undoubtedly many more in case of Dr. Robert Malone, or Dr. Peter A. McCullough. And that’s something the woke community just can’t handle.
Joe Rogan talks to scientists, doctors, leaders, entertainers, athletes, journalists, artists, writers, MMA fighters, political commentators - you name it.
That’s why Joe’s podcast is so monumentally successful - because it’s interesting, engaging, transparent, and honest - every conversation is unscripted and genuine.
Joe Rogan doesn’t have a team of writers working behind the scenes to deliver a script for him and his guests to read - unlike all those TV shows where literally every minute is scripted to ensure a smooth performance and enough time for advertising.
That’s what TV shows are - a bunch of scripted segments, squeezed in between ads.
That’s one thing the television industry got wrong in the first place and still seems to have a hard time understanding - no one gives a shit about traditional TV format of entertainment anymore. No one wants their favorite TV show interrupted every fifteen minutes by a mix of pharmaceutical and fast food commercials.
Enough with that shit already.
And that is why more and more people decide to ditch old-school cable TV and subscribe to Netflix and Amazon Prime instead. Everyone’s fed up with commercials.
That’s also why people subscribe to Spotify Premium - so they don’t get interrupted with advertising or any other kinds of drama - Neil Young’s woke bitching included.
Remember how Rage Against The Machine surprisingly turned out to be just another cog in the Machine? So much for integrity and freedom…
Remember how Foo Fighters had to cancel their “vaccinated-only” concert after one of the band members contracted Covid?
I also remember when Arnold Schwarzenegger, one of my childhood idols, last year said, “Screw your freedom!”
That didn’t work out too well for good ol’ Arnie, either - his absurd comment was met with immediate backlash coming from all directions - even libtards weren’t too happy with what Arnold said. It was just completely unnecessary and borderline dystopian in its striking resemblance to Klaus Schwab’s and World Economic Forum’s narrative.
“Screw your freedom!” - How about “Go screw your nanny” instead, you dumb fuck?
There’s more.
Howard Stern, the principal radio buffoon and host of “The Howard Stern Shit Show” said, quote:
“I heard Joe Rogan was saying (…) he said, "I took (horse dewormer) and a doctor gave it to me." Well, a doctor would also give you a vaccine, so why take horse dewormer?”
Stern, a lifelong libtard, said some truly preposterous shit on his show over the years.
With his recent remarks about Joe Rogan, though, he totally went beyond himself.
And the list goes on. With those few examples, I barely scratched the surface.
Anyway… Who gives a shit? I have better things to do.
Out of everything I read about this crazy situation, here’s one good thing.
The most legitimate life advice for anyone to follow:
“In a world full of Neil Youngs, be a Joe Rogan.” - Lange
The point of this article is:
Don’t be a little bitch. Instead, be a good person and focus on doing what’s right.
