Neil

Neil Young

I love Neil Young. He has written some of the most influential songs of my youth. He was one of my favorite songwriters, and I tried to emulate him as I became a songwriter and a musician.

Recently, he wanted to dictate what gets broadcast on Spotify. He gave the company an ultimatum and said either Rogan’s podcast or my music. I understand his disappointment with the message that Joe Rogan broadcasts, but that does not mean I agree with censorship. Do what you do best, write a song about your issues with Joe Rogan, Eric Clapton, and any other anti-vaxxer you wish. People are more likely to listen to your message for a longer time in your songs than they will in your protest. You can even have the music played on Spotify, the same company you are trying to fight.

Don’t make emotional decisions, and do what you do best. It is not about making a stand; it is about getting the message across to others. Neil should have written a song rather than lost a fight.
