I love his music, but yeah...he takes anal to the extreme. I'm always amused that he filmed his episode of MTV Unplugged 3 times. And you can do multiple takes each time you film. Him, a veteran. Nirvana did their whole episode in just one take.

Perspective is not his strong suit.

Spotify chooses creative lies and conspiracy theories over creative music and lyrics.  Cancelling my subscription today.

From the little I know about his life, I'm convinced he's on the spectrum.

You should do that in the form of an ultimatum.

Why?  Everyone should know by now that when confronted with a "My Way or The Highway" ultimatum, the only sensible thing to to is select the "Highway" option.  I am simply owning the decision instead of offering it to them.

At least Neil Young, eccentric that he is, is mostly into the SCIENCE when it comes to COVID.

That was a joke at Neil Young's expense.

Well, I hope Neil Young will remember . . . what I just said about ultimatums.

Dumping them and ghosting them is better, though.

All this will probably blow over----and Neil Young will quietly allow Spotify to play his music again.

^^ That is they way I see it, Neil needs some publicity. Orangemanbad Jr claims he tried to sell his catalog to them last year.

The issue is not so much that some celebrity made a political statement, but that a media outlet prefers conspiracy theories over musical talent.

I don't even know what Spotify is per se. I listen to my 70s music on youtube.
