Joe Rogan is a fool, but if we refuse to share platforms with people whose opinions differ to our own then we'd get nowhere.

Of course there's a line, but this one is a peculiar hill to die on despite the fact Joe Rogan's comments are dangerous at times.

No offense to Neil old er Young, but Rogan is considerably more contemporary. So it seems likely that's who Spotify will go with given a choice between the two. Plus a southern man don't need Niel Young around anyhow.

Niel can shut himself in his closet, sing whiny songs, and throw needles at Joe's posters; while Joe gets all of the attention, and rakes in the dough. I can appreciate Neil making a stand of silencing himself to his audience, for the sake of making a statement.

Rogan is their cash cow meanwhile Young will loose 60% of his profit now...probably not how he thought it would turn out LOL

Maybe all of that free spirited thinking in the '60's has affected his reasoning skills later on in life; but it's good to see him taking one for the team.

For someone who people thought was for free speech, he is pretty intolerant of it!

He got what he asked for now I bet he is not happy, oh well, he over estimated his value.

Perhaps -- or perhaps it's a matter of principle for him...

Young sold half his music catalog last year for $150 million; I doubt he's hurting for cash...

Indeed, and for someone who surrounded himself with people who made their own prescriptions about how they were altering the natural state of their bodies; he sure made a quick turn about. It's like he was swept up and deprogrammed. If we could bottle that; we could cure those who suffer from drug abuse.

How so? If someone was shouting Nazi propaganda (for example), I wouldn't want to be in the same room...
