"Liberals" like Neil Young and Joni Mitchell have now become wannabe suppressors of free speech. Hilarious.
Nope. He can still talk. They're using their free rights to move their songs to another distributor.
Huh?
He wanted Rogan kicked off Spotify for Rogan hosting views contrary to the mainstream?
What a sad old man he has become.
Just a standard boring authoritarian trying to use his clout to bully others.
Neil Young, more like Neil Old. -

That James Blunt is just as bad as Harry and Meghan…
He's a funny guy
New songs? He's bluffing. All his songs are highly derivative. And if they aren't, they sure sound like they are.
You know he's joking right?
Yup. But he still might. I like his sense of humour but he does have an annoying voice (like he admits on twitter)..

Arguable. If Young & Mitchell had simply moved their music then so be it, that's expressing your right.
From what I've read Young said it's me or Rogan - up to you. That's a bit different and could well be viewed as attempt to suppress speech.
Never understood why artists are prepared to be paid such a pittance myself. Would be pretty hurtful to see them pay Archewell / Rogan millions whilst paying the artists of the music fuck all.
I agree it is a grey area and I'm still forming my own opinion but I don't see Young as having monopoly/cartel level power, to this Spotify generation/s.

It's a classic case of "don't like what I don't like". Unsurprising hypocrisy from a bloke that blamed "faggots" (his word) for AIDS in the 80s, complained about artists making money and yet he sold half his catalogue for $50 million.
And this is Joni Mitchell in blackface.
Tells you something about people who support them over Joe.

Oh NO!!!
Some rockstar sang about drugs in a song.
Another rapper didn't respect women in his lyrics.
Another female popstar was singing about sex related topics in an explicit manner.
BAN THEM ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -

Yes, Dick Cheney’s one-percent doctrine. “Could.”

James Blunt is a considerably better comedian than he is a musician. Certainly not too late to change careers.
He's too busy hanging in Ibiza with his supermodel partner

Interestingly, the UK (and the EU, I think) are looking at legislation to stop commercial interests and coercion being used to curtail freedom of expression/speech.
Anyway, I think this is less to do with issues of freedom of speech and allegedly fighting disinformation but more about losing money if people switched off Spotify as they disagreed with Rogan's podcast.
If they were genuine, Mitchell & Young would have threatened to pull their stuff when Clapton did his anti-vax thing.
Were Clapton's anti-vax views aired on Spotify?

Geez, why'd you have to single me out like that? Harsh.

I'm starting to think if you look under every controversy rock you find a venture capital firm.
Young sold half his music to hipgnosis for 50 million. What chance that hypocritical Neil is a puppet with strings being pulled by others?
Wouldn't be the first celebrity or entertainer serving his master, and looking like a pratt in the process.
