Neil Young started the protest when he penned a letter saying Spotify could have either his music or Joe Rogan, but not both.
"I want you to let Spotify know immediately TODAY that I want all my music off their platform," Young wrote in the letter to his manager and record label, which was reported by Rolling Stone on Jan 24. "I am doing this because Spotify is spreading fake information about vaccines – potentially causing death to those who believe the disinformation being spread by them."
Young cited an open letter signed initially by more than 250 medical professionals, professors and researchers who called on Spotify to address the COVID misinformation on its platform, pointing specifically to Rogan's podcast. Since the letter's publication on Jan. 12, more than 1,000 more professionals have signed the letter.
A handful of musicians – including folk icon Joni Mitchell and Crosby, Stills & Nash – have joined Young, saying they'll pull their music from Spotify. So far, however, today's chart-topping artists haven't weighed in on the protest.
On Sunday, Spotify CEO Daniel Ek said the company plans on being more transparent about its rules on misinformation but won't be a "content censor." Rogan also responded to the controversy, saying he plans to do better.
That´s a good occasion for sharing more Neil Young music:
The Neil Young & Crazy Horse 1978 tour was a North American concert tour by Canadian musician Neil Young and his band Crazy Horse, informally known as the Rust Never Sleeps tour, as the live album of the same name was recorded during it. Crazy Horse included Frank 'Poncho' Sampedro on guitar, Billy Talbot on bass guitar, and Ralph Molina on drums
This high quality audience recording is from that same tour, at New York's Madison Square Garden, on September 28, 1978, nearly 44 years ago. Download this and you'll know why Rust Never Sleeps!
