Neil Young’s little ultimatum for Spotify didn’t quite pay off for him like he apparently thought it would. He’s out, and Joe Rogan is still in. The injustice of it all!
For what it’s worth, longtime shock jock Howard Stern thought Young was on the side of rightness and goodness:

“It’s not about censorship,” says Howard Stern about Neil Young wanting Spotify to censor Joe Rogan.
What a time to be alive, huh?
I mean, to be fair, Rage Against The Machine gives Stern a run for his money
RATM (28 years old): Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses
RATM (57 years old): Anyone who doesn't obey the government is a crumbum. A real goshdarn crumbum.

Howard Stern and Rage Against The Machine have effectively become part of the Machine. Whew!

it turns out that the underlying psychological profile of a person is more important than the words that come out of their mouths
