Spotify

 

        I'm sure you've heard of the battle raging on between Neil Young and Spotify. Young doesn't want his music on the same network as Joe Rogan. Young thinks that Rogan is spreading misinformation about Covid and is killing people. After Young came out with his stance others have joined in. Joni Mitchell, Nils Lofgren and today I saw that Graham Nash has thrown his hat in the ring. 

        For starters, I like some of Young's music, on his own and his days with CSN&Y. I've not been a big fan of Mitchell, nor have I ever been of fan of the E Street Band which Lofgren belongs to. I'm sure in the coming days there will be others that you've never heard of also joining the chorus to get their 15 minutes of fame and to appear to be PC. 

        First, let me ask this. Where did any of these people get their medical degrees? I can hazard a guess. From the school of whatever "news" network spouts the theory of what they already believe. How's that?! I'll put money on the fact that I'm dead on! So, here's an idea for all involved, SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!

        Now this has worked out for Young as today I saw that Sirius XM has a Neil Young channel. Good for you Neil. You were rusting instead of burning out and so you needed a shot in the arm (no pun intended) so people might remember who you are. But go figure, I have something just for you. Go back to Canada, hang out with your buddy Justin Trudeau, smoke your weed, drink that fairy piss you call beer and live out the rest of your life.  In other words, nobody cares. Don't worry, when your songs come on the radio, I won't change the channel, nor will I throw out the albums of yours that I have. 

        As for Rogan, unless you've got something other than your opinion on this, keep your mouth shut. Go back to commentating on UFC fights and whatever else you do to make a living. I like a conservative voice on the radio, you just need to know what you're talking about. Otherwise, you just look foolish.

        As for me, I'm still on the fence about the vaccine. After a year of being available there have been two boosters and now I hear that another may be needed. To me that says that the vaccine isn't all that effective. Plus, with two years of having to wear the masks in some places, it tells me that the media is still fear mongering and that there is no end in sight to this. Get the shot if you want, wear the mask if you want, just don't ever try to tell me to do something just to make you feel better.  

    So I will continue to favor free speech over censorship, freedom of choice over mandates and hard rock and metal over folk rock most of the time.
