I want to know where the 100 million came from?

1. the 100 million came from Spotify

Rogan makes them more money than Young does. It's one of 'Merica's most popular podcasts. Sad facts.

2. No surprise.

Neil Young is an aging baby boom rocker. Not exactly selling a lot of material.

3. Hey, this baby boomer will stream music on our deathbed. But get it.

4. Fast Fact about Neil Young

There's a deeper reason why Young turned his back to Spotify & Rogan.


Neil Young’s mother was a white supremacist and he somehow shed the ignorance of his upbringing to become a human rights activist and one of the greatest songwriters of all time. He’s also raised millions for The Bridge School.

Joe Rogan ate bugs on Fear Factor…

6. Makes him all the more exemplary

I did not know that.

7. Me neither! Thinking back to the dust up Neil Young got from Lynrd Skynrd tho,...

Is this part of why that bitterness occurred?
Was it something Young said about the racist South, maybe?


Written in the lyrics of Skynrd's song,
Sweet Home Alabama

Big wheels keep on turnin'
Carry me home to see my kin
Singin' songs about the south-land
I miss Alabamy once again and I think it's a sin, yes

*Well I heard Mister Young sing about her
Well I heard ol' Neil put her down
Well I hope Neil Young will remember
A southern man don't need him around anyhow

In Birmingham they love the governor (boo-hoo-hoo)
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth

9. +1 ... that's it exactly. And they vote because their heads explode.

11. Geez we had some damn deep political music back then.

I actually don't recall when our music wasn't political in some way or another.

13. Read The Lyrics Southern Man

Screw Confederate Scum Lynyrd Skynyrd.

They didn't need us around but we came around and Burned Atlanta Down.

They still haven't surrendered. The fight for freedom rages on.

Sorry Klanscum.

5. He's not baby boom. "Silent Generation".

He's born in '45; Baby Boom is '46 to '64. THERE ARE RULES TO THESE ARBITRARY DIVISIONS!

[KPN]

8. They vote! We view things with a bit of bemusement while their heads explode causing them to

take some kind of survival action, like voting (in a poll in this case?). Ever watch the "The Voice" or "American Idol"? There's your answer.

10. Well, fuck Spotify. My kids subscribe ... but knowing them, probably not after

I share this with them. I encourage you to do the same.
