Neil Young makes a stand against misinformation

[Tangerine_]

Is there a kid rock “song” that hasn’t ripped something off? Some of the “songs” have more than one rip off.

Sorry for the vent. Big Warren Zevon fan here.

Originality was never his strong suit.

 

[Budley Doright]

I guess kneel young isn't rocking in the free world any more

Actually when he sang that he was eluding to the fact it was not a free world then. But you knew that right?

 

[Roger A. Shrubber]

Originality was never his strong suit.

what exactly is his strong suit? being able to appeal to very stupid people?

There’s big money in that.

 

[Roger A. Shrubber]

sad, but very true

 

[Rob Roy]

You just explained the rationale of politics.

 

[DurumGallico]

who gives a fuck how much it costs conquerors to conqueror?...in what way does this justify their behavior? are you trying to say that Expansionism is actually an attempt at philanthropy?


every word of this is irrelevant and not in any way applicable to your argument...when i said supply citations, i meant citations that actually have fuck all to do with the conversation...


again...not in any way applicable to the argument at hand, just disjointed horse shit that proves nothing...
what expansionist countries spend on expansion means absolutely nothing to those being conquered, and is completely irrelevant to this conversation, as are you...

Lol you're so salty mate. You can't even comprehend i'm not supporting it, just saying facts that apparently bother you badly.
But yes you're surely right, standardized writing and so much more for Romans, and modern infrastructures for european colonization are definitely bad side effects, no problem you're perfectly right.

The citations i brought were obviously relevant, i was asked to prove with actual facts and not feels the colonization was a money hole. Which i just proved.

well, yeah

I will only defend Kid Rock's Joe Dirt character.
KR: "Sorry about that, Dirt."
JD: "I'm cool."
KR: "No you're not!"

 

[topcat]

Also question : how can you boycott someone who's already dead ? Some crazy dudes in France called to cancel freakin Napoléon. Since it's not the same it makes sense (even though they are stupidly wrong about Napoléon), how could you "boycott" him?

Freakin Napoleon is the driver for JFK Jr.

No, you were asked to cite how colonization had good side effects and you have not in any way answered that. Were the colonized grateful for the infrastructure and new language thrust upon them? Again I doubt it as I’ve never heard them say that but I’m willing to listen to facts that prove they were. I’ll wait.

His acting abilities (and personality) summed up in one film.
Atrocious

you were asked to prove that conquered people didn't mind being conquered, because of all the "improvements" the conquerors brought....no one said anything about cost management analysis

His illiteracy was convincing.

It really was...though I'm not sure that was 'acting'

To quote Lynyrd Nimoy

I think we should treat rich hippies better by listening to their music before they all leave Spotify, ffs now legend old hippy Joni Mitchell is getting herself off. They are a dying breed who clearly need lots more money to survive.

Kanye West is writing songs that can only be played on Spotify.

 

[schuylaar]

I just checked a few of my Spotify playlists. The Neil Young songs still play but when I view the album, all songs except the ones I downloaded are not playable.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out and how many others join this protest. I could see groups like Pearl Jam doing the same and I wonder how many of my playlists will be affected.

Barry Manilow’s decision won’t have any impact on my playlists.

i guess there are people older than you who vote.

Does @DurumGallico not know about French colonial sugar plantations on what we now call Haiti?

how funny Spotify is turning into a Right Wing music playlist that you have to pay for.

who pays for music?
