Rand Paul praises removal of Neil Young songs from Spotify: 'Seeya'


https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/591570-rand-paul-praises-removal-of-neil-young-songs-from-spotify

Earlier Wednesday, Spotify announced it would be dropping Young's music after he accused the platform of "spreading fake information about vaccines" by streaming podcaster Joe Rogan's episodes, in which he and guests make dubious comments about coronavirus vaccines.

Paul took to Twitter later on Wednesday to commend Spotify for siding with Rogan, changing the words to Young's protest song "Ohio" to mock the musician.

"Bye Bye, Hey Hey, Neil Young is gone today. It’s better to boycott than to just obey. Bye Bye, Hey Hey," Paul wrote, adding, "Seeya @Neilyoung."

He continued, calling "Ohio," an anthem written in the aftermath of the Kent State massacre, "one of the greatest protest songs of all time" before standing in solidarity with Rogan.

"Free speech is kinda important also," he wrote.

Someone call Rand Paul and tell him his wife died in an accident. Free speech, right?

reply

Telco will cancel assholes.

reply

So his phone must be disconnected because that asshole is promoting misinformation that is causing deaths and grief.

reply

Idiot troll doesn't know diff between harassment and opinions.

reply

Rand Paul is vaccinated you are insane for buying into his lies. But that's ok. More for us.

reply

and of course "hey hey my my" is from "Rust Never Sleeps" not "Ohio." SMDH. I side with Neil. Free speech doesn't extend to speech that causes harm which anti-vax rubbish definitely does.

reply

What, specifically, has Joe Rogan said that is anti-vax?

reply

So free speech is okay only if you agree with it. Got it. Typical leftist.

reply

So you are unreasonable and dumb. Typical right-wing nutjob.

reply

Typical fringe kook, brainwashed leftist. Nothing to say of substance.

reply

To you? Pearls before swine..

reply

Typical "conservative" of the 21st century. Freedom without responsibility. In case you were wondering, that's what conservatives complained that liberals wanted in the '60s. Full circle I guess. Anyway ANY freedom only extends to the point where it harms someone else. Why, at one time anyway, you couldn't yell "Fire" in a crowded movie theater (unless it actually WAS on fire of course). Same that your freedom to swing your fist stops at my nose and the freedom to say whatever un-proven, un-scientific BS stops when it harms others by misleading them to make dangerous decisions.

reply

Your posts cause me mental anguish so delete your profile immediately, your free speech has been denied. Delete now

Free speech doesn't extend to speech that causes harm which anti-vax rubbish definitely does.


Actually, yes it does. And who made you king shit on turd hill to decide what speech is “ok” for the rest of us?

Man, some of you have absolutely no clue.

reply

But how could they remove it? There were articles that he doesnt own his songs, that he sold them.

But its still hilarious. I wonder if any other celebrity will try this trick. Because their tactics is always Mass Bulling. Like they could all start announcing that they will pull out their music, hoping that Spotify exes will get scared. Hope this Young fiasco will teach them.

And when they couldnt cancel Dave Chapelle despite all their usual blackmail and bulling tactics. But they underestimate how ,uch corporations love their money and all thei virtue signaling is fake. Chapelle and Rogan bring huge money to Spotify and Netflix so they ignored woke lunatics.

Translation :
"Spotify will happily promote dangerous medical misinformation being broadcast to millions as long as they make money from it ."

reply

Dear Lefty. Stop brainlessly listen to everything that left wing press and medical corporations tell you. They are brainwashing you for their own gain.

They only misinformation that is spreading is that on CNN, from Fauci clown and other.

Its astonishing how so many people have no their own thought and just sit all day on CNN and wait for celebritiies and politicians to order what they have to go crazy about this month. I mean you saw how all your lefry policicians and celebs order kids to weak mask in kindergarden for 8 hours "in the name of science and to save everybody". Then same politicians are constantly being caught going maskless and partying. And celebs having their stupid Oscars and Grammy in the middle of a lockdown. All maskless, only Help was wearing masks to protect Rich and Priviledged. Yet you all are that stupid and still go and fight everything they order you to fight for. They are laughing at you.

There is no "dangerous medical misinformation" in Rogans podcasts. Just opinions and discussion. But your Woke Maters cant stand that. Because Big Fharma corporations need to make more money....

reply

What are you rambling on about, emori? You mention brainwashing, but your own responses are utter gibberish.

LOL!

reply

You still haven't caught onto the fact that "dangerous medical misinformation" is just important medical information a few weeks/months before the MSM are forced to acknowledge it?

reply

There is a reason for proper channels. When you get your thoughts from Facebook statistically you and your progeny are less likely to succeed.

reply

And who gets to say what the "proper channels" are?

And who the fuck still uses Facebook? lol

reply

All these hippie musicians from the '60s make me laugh. When they first came on the scene, they were espousing all sorts of anti-establishment rhetoric and promoting the neo-Bolshevik cause. But now that their kind are in power, they are PROMOTING the very System they were against fifty years ago while at the same time suggesting it's still unfair to them and that we need to double down on all the cultural Marxist degeneracy they championed from the beginning

Hey Neil. This notes for you. You're a lying, commercialized, money grubbing, political ass kissing hypocrite.

reply

False equivalence.

reply

worse than that, its just a paragraph of ranting bullshit

reply

Young moved from Canada to the US while draft dodgers were moving the other way!

There was a big hippy invasion here in the 70s because land was cheap. Some got rich growing pot, others became drunks and stoners. Many moved back to the US after amnesty. Most cut their hair when it turned grey.

reply

The hippies wernt against medicine you dumb fuck,
Being "anti establishment" doesent mean doing the exact opposite of all norms out of spite

"money grubbing" ? how do you work that out?
The guy stands by his principles to the extent of removing his songs and losing money.

reply

I saw some of these right wingers mocking and celebrating this. What would those uncultured rednecks know about good art.

reply

Who cares? Let them take their downward spiral for they are leeches.
