On one hand, respect to my king for making a stand. Let’s begin with the least suckiest major player in this saga: Neil Young.

Uh oh, I’m seeing double: 24 NEIL YOUNGS! Now, let me explain why everyone fucking sucks. That, friends, is the briefest outline of the controversy I can provide. Even if the “open to” part of that sentence is doing a lot of heavy lifting. To be fair, he said he’s “open to” balancing out his shows by inviting guests on who can refute recently made controversial claims. In response to the above, Joe Rogan released a video on Instagram where he effectively says “sorry, not sorry.” From what we can tell so far, this will be a label similar to explicit content, rather than an audio warning. The idea here is that people who follow the link will be taken to a resource center that contains the latest medical information about the coronavirus. It reacted by stating it’ll include a content advisory warning on The JRE. Well, two.įollowing this, Spotify had billions wiped off its market value. Not exactly an exodus, but it’s some influential people. I mean, what else would’ve happened? Spotify spent over $100M to make Rogan’s podcast exclusive to its network, it’s not gonna piss that up the wall.Īfter Neil Young left Spotify, Joni Mitchell and… uh, Bruce Springsteen guitarist… Nils Lofgren followed suit.

Surprising no one, Spotify sided with Rogan. The reason? Spotify and The JRE are “spreading fake information about vaccines.” Last week, acclaimed artist Neil Young demanded that Spotify either either remove his music from the platform, or do the same with The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE) podcast.

The man, the myth, the huge-headed Rogan. Before we get into why I’m the only one with the Correct Opinion, we need to do a little bit of history.
