Like anyone cares what loser Neil Young wants


Neil is perhaps the only rocker I can think of whose music has continued to evolve and remain fresh since he started in the sixties.

He has a lot of fans out there: just check the comments to the link posted below for an idea as to how profound an effect his music has had on some of us.

He penned one of my favorite tunes:

That's a pretty famous show
Bill Graham memorial after he died in a copter crash
Lots of artists performed that day
Only time Neil played with the Dead. John Fogerty and John Popper also played with the Dead that day

I've personally seen Branford Marsalis, Huey Lewis, Bob Dylan, Bruce Hornsby, Ornette Coleman, Steve Miller play with the Dead

Neil Young’s Attempt to Pressure Spotify to Censor Joe Rogan Fails Miserably

I quote parts:

Quote:
-Musician Neil Young’s attempt to force Spotify to censor Joe Rogan’s podcast has failed miserably, with Young deleting the open letter he posted on his website.

-While Young may have got some traction on Twitter from the usual crowd of COVID bedwetters and censorship freaks, his efforts have proven completely futile.

-Indeed, Spotify is yet to even offer an official response to his public relations stunt.

-The singer-songwriter appears to have already backed out of the ultimatum given that he deleted the open letter he had posted to his website.

“Young likely realized that he has no grounds to make the demands. Rogan has an exclusive deal with Spotify and Young sold 50% of the rights to his music to a British investment company a year ago,” writes Christina Maas.

-Neil Young’s public hissy fit merely appears to have been a play for attention given that he, like Howard Stern, who also routinely attacks Rogan, is becoming increasingly irrelevant.

Justice Breyer is retiring.

I guess he “sees the writing on the wall”.

May the GOP give the same respect to the nominee as the Democrats gave to Trump's nominees.

Real question, what is most important to Biden in picking someone?

Skin color?
Gender?
Who they choose to date?

The world waits!

He’s already said he will nominate a black woman.

If that upsets you…. well, no one here will wonder why.

Apparently the Biden administration released the news before the Justice wanted it done and Breyer is not happy about it.

They don't have respect for anyone; it is usually left to the Justice to release the notification.
