Get lost Neil, get lost.
Who are these “celebrities” to demand someone they disagree with be removed. You don’t agree don’t listen. Talk about huge egos.
They call themselves liberals. LOL!
he gave Spotify a choice. Don’t conservatives bother paying attention?
@Peter got to love cancel culture. I don’t agree with what they say so remove them, no discussion or debate because we may lose. Bye bye old Neil “ keep on rocking in the free world”. The irony of his song and his actions are lost on you I’m sure.
@KC N Nope. He asked for his music to be removed and that’s what happened. He didn’t try to “cancel” anyone.
When Joe Rogan is long gone no one will remember him. Neil Young is a legend – his art will always live on. In the meantime maybe a tall glass if urine while you listens to Rogans medical advice. You can’t spell phD without MMA 😂
Should have sung, The needle and the damage done… bye Neil
Neil dung. Senile senior.
I suspect that wasn’t the outcome Neil was expecting.
He really doesn’t give a f*ck about money, he has morals, something Rogan doesn’t have
@Peter no he actually has both 😂😂😂😂
@Peter Are you in love with that old junky?
I AM NOW GOING TO PAY FOR SPOTIFY, even though the ads don’t bug me. Support unfiltered information.
Rogan speaks the truth!
He sure does!!!
or at least is in pursuit of it, and willing to let any and every one state their case, and field questions, in long-form discussion
ABSOLUTELY!!!
…now go smoke another one, nut-job!!!
@Shawn Malloy bot
@Shawn Malloy Quick, run to your safe space lsr
How about reporting real news instead of defaming or sorry trying to defame other platforms ? Joe’s laughing about this whole situation and doubling down I gaurantee that.
Joe Rogan is a clown…
It’s even better when he pulls up these videos on the podcast cuz we all laugh together.
@Jack Sprat so is Neil young 🤣
What a hypocrite. Neil sings his opinions but wishes to silence others.
Yea, so much for “rockin in the free world”.
NOPE!!! …just the bull$#!T!!!!
Im surprised Neil even has that many followers. wasn’t he relevant in the 70’s?
A better solution would have been for Young to sit down with Rogan and sort out their subjective opinions from the scientific, objective facts.
Neil Young does NOT want to keep “ Rockin in the Free World “ anymore
Keep on rocking in commie world – is his current mindset.
Somebody must have told Neil Young that his opinions were relevant and he believed them.😆😅🤣😂
Neil Young has lost it. Totally lost it. He has no right to silence discussion. Young doesn’t understand we have lost our fundamental rights under this “crisis”. King makers.
You mean like Trump right!??!
@Shawn Malloy You realize this is a Canadian news channel, right?
You’ll notice that zero other artists supported Young in his nonsense.
Keep on Rockin’ in the cancel culture, Neil.
All right, calm down.
Jim Jones says, “The Kool-Aid only works if everyone drinks it.”
Absolutely how it should be done. No matter the money. Anyone who tries to cancel anyone needs to be canceled themselves. Stand up to bullies don’t bend or take a knee.
This goes to show you Young is just a paid activist. I am sad he choose this road. I love his music, but I have no respect for him as a person anymore.
I’m really surprised at Neil Young I would think he knows better. Joe Rogan should have a talk with him and then invite him on the show. That would be something ❤️✌️
Neil young literally wrote the song” Rocking in the free world “
I miss the old Neil young
