Boomers really are like robots. The only thing they are capable of doing is repeating slogans.
After attempting to get Joe Rogan removed from Spotify, the Canadian fake American folk singer Neil Young literally said “my private company.”
Neil Young pulled his music from Spotify this week, describing the platform as “the home of life threatening COVID misinformation” due to its association with controversial yet extremely popular podcast bro Joe Rogan. And today, Young has followed up his open letters explaining his decision with another statement on his Neil Young Archives website addressing the kerfuffle.
“When I left Spotify, I felt better,” Young writes. “I support free speech. I have never been in favor of censorship. Private companies have the right to choose what they profit from, just as I can choose not to have my music support a platform that disseminates harmful information. I am happy and proud to stand in solidarity with the front line health care workers who risk their lives every day to help others.”
In the midst of this scandal, I was doing some digging into Neil Young’s past, in particular trying to find out more about his involvement in the sabotage of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s plane in 1977.
I was shocked to find this on the Wikipedia page for “Lynyrd Skynyrd Plane Crash”:
I had no idea this information was so widely known.
Here is what is in the “cause” section of the Wiki entry:
What’s more, it’s even in Young’s own Wiki entry:
Isn’t that interesting.
Isn’t that interesting indeed.
How does someone like this seize the moral high ground? What is wrong with our society?
