^^Yeah, since when did some WebHead get to decide what an artists music is worth. I can't believe that the musicians unions haven't made more of a stink about their compensation from these streaming services. Without the music they wouln't exist.

The caption could be taken both as a knock to Young or as support for him, but as it's Fox I assume they aren't standing up for a bedwetting liberal like Neil.   Am I missing something?

It's not like artist's get rich from Spotify. No loss to Neil.

I am very happy that physical media is becoming bigger and bigger every year for the past 10yrs. LP records outsold CDs last year, as well CDs sold more last year, although a huge part of that was due to Adele 30.



I never thought of that. I don't use Spotify. Like you, I do the hard stuff.
Neil Young probably made himself a solid economic move. To get young again, more folks will have to get on the vinyl. Needle and damage done. Vaccinated with a phonograph needle.

I think he actually said it accounts for almost 60% of the revenue for his record company, but they had the discussion before he acted and they said they would back him up. F#@KIN' A BUBBA !
Now, as far as Rogan is concerned I mostly know him from News Radio TV series. But as I see it, it's the same way I feel about Metal/Gore/Scream (whatever) Genres. I have no interest in them, but if you make your living giving that to people who want it, then good for you. Anyone can turn off or away from pretty much anything they please...if they want to.

I had a friend who liked political talk radio, I could never get that, to me its like a dentist visit without the pain killers. To each his own I suppose.

Take it easy Easy Money.  Joe works out, he's a standup comedian, he's an actor, he has the biggest podcast in the world, and he announces UFC fights. Did you know that Rogan's audience is 11 times bigger than CNN's?  Joe has a job.  That said, FOX mislead their followers. Young asked Spotify to remove his music. Spotify honored Young's request.

So you may have already heard about Neil Young removing his music from Spotify. But as usual, Fox News just can't get it right. Read the caption below the image. Does this sound like it was Neil's decision?

I think more artists should take a similar action.
