1. Good. More artists should do the same.

[hurple]

2. Barry Manilow has dropped out too

That aught to get the teens hopping mad!

[Budi]

5. Is spotify just for teenagers? Why would Manilow be on Spotify if it were so?

Or Neil Young if that's the case.
Have any teenager's music groups followed Young in this moral & political stand?

Any talk on soc media from them?

[padah513]

29. I think because they're in the business of selling music

One market is as good as any other. Sure it's not likely that they'll get many sales given the demographics, but they'll get some, and some is better than none.

[hurple]

40. Correction

Manilow has since issued a statement that this report is wrong, he is not removing his music from Spotify.

And all the hep young cats breathe a sigh of relief. Their teenage sleepover parties can still go rockin' all night long.

😂

[2Gingersnaps]

41. Barry Manilow just denied that on Twitter.

The other side has no problem with Nugent, Kid Rock, Travis Tritt, and Kanye running their mouths at will. We didn't "cancel" the Dixie Chicks. Why do left leaning artists need to shut up and sing?

I am old school vinyl. I don't use Spotify. But my personal taste in music is about the last freedom I would give up, seriously. They are welcome to theirs. (The gun worship is kind of creepy-don't tell me it isn't implied threat, we all know it is)

My taste in comedy doesn't match theirs either. I am not "Chickens for Colonel Sanders" "Woman for Trump" or a Joe Rogan fan. I don't find misogyny cute, funny, or manly. I am not attacking men when I say that, I like strong smart men, like anyone they don't have to be dragged to build someone else up.

People need to learn to scroll and live and let live.

3. It's time for a younger generation to take a stand

C'mon all you pop stars. A principal isn't a principal until it costs you something. Show us what you got.

[rogue emissary]

15. +1

It's disappointing that only the elders in the music industry are taking a stand.

Also, Spotify is one of the worst streamers when it comes to artist royalites. So it wouldn't be costing them much.

[kysrsoze]

4. Awesome! I'm finally dumping Spotify today. In the process of moving the family to Tidal.

It just takes a couple of people to start a movement.

[OnDoutside]

7. Coming at it from the subscriber side too is a great idea.

[CurtEastPoint]

12. 3 mos intro, ad free hifi 3 bucks THANKS!

[AZSkiffyGeek]

6. Neil Young, Peter Frampton and Barry Manilow

The Frank Zappa, Dee Snider and John Denver of 2022.

[Budi]

9. Ya. Whose Neil Young anyway, right?

🙄

SARCASM . Addressing the above post, dissing Musicians
👎

[Rebl2]

16. Really😐

[Ferrets are Cool]

30. Wow, really?

[Skittles]

34. one of the greats

are you saying you don't support this effort? it's not about MUSIC

it's about allowing people to cause serious damage by spreading outright lies that affect the public health

[2Gingersnaps]

42. Funny how that gets totally misconstrued.

Or just outright ignored.

[Skittles]

45. I figure it will be like Facebook

people will say, yeah, I know the damage it causes but I neeeeeeeeeeeeeeed it

[Klaralven]

35. The unnecessary addition to Crosby, Stills and Nash

What were they thinking?

[Cha]

8. May it be the beginning of

a long list of Musicians who care about Lives!

Rt TY!

[BeckyDem]

10. He is a wonderful guy!

[miyazaki]

11. Neil showed him the way.

[Jetheels]

33. exactly....

[Mike Nelson]

13. I think...

... this could be big. "Old" music is dominant, today. It's not just oldies having a place at the table. "Oldies" are dominating music and industry people are worried. I hope new music becomes as popular as ever, but it is considered a problem... recordings with Neil Young, Peter Frampton and Barry Manilow might make a wave... especially as more join.

[tanyev]

14. LOL, SpExit.

[blm]

26. 😁

[Stainless]

17. I understand that Spotify paid Rogan $500M.........

I understand that Spotify paid Joe Rogan $500M to sign an exclusive contract to host his podcast!

[Sherman A1]

22. Seems like money well spent

[fwvinson]

18. Just Show me the Way

[BlackSkimmer]

23. Well done.

I saw him in concert many, many years ago.

[OMGWTF]

19. Didn't Taylor Swift get into a pissing match with Spotify a while back?

[AllaN01Bear]

31. left , but came back as per the guardian newspaper .

[Evolve Dammit]

20. Go Baby! Call it out and take a stand. Respect.

[BlackSkimmer]

21. K and r.

[crickets]

24. Another good one stands up! WTG, Peter Frampton. nt

[StarryNite]

25. Excellent!

[blm]

27. Tap the KPops and their fans.

Spotify will crap all over themselves.

[70sEraVet]

28. I like that Jon Cooper, mayor of Music City (Nashville), is calling on musicians to follow Young.

[Danmel]

43. That is Jon Cooper, former Suffolk County legislator

He was the first openly gay elected official on Long Island.
I worked with him for 6 years.

[70sEraVet]

48. Oh. I see that you're right. Nashville's mayor is also Jon Cooper, so you see why I thought

[Danmel]

49. Perfectly understandable

Former Suffolk County Legislators aren't household names.

[peppertree]

32. He came alive - and how!

[SouthernDem4ever]

36. Won't ever use Spotify

They think free speech means "lying free speech"

[plimsoll]

37. So, Rogan, Kid Rock and Nugent.

I think I can forget about Spotify now.

[monkeyman1]

38. ccoming soon -" Spotify files chapter 13 in a court near you ".

[lame54]

39. Debunked in other thread

[Captain Zero]

44. That's it! He's taking his talking guitar, and 3 chords

And He's Gone !

I heard Barry Manilow had left the building too.
I kid but I think this is all good.

[niyad]

46. SpExit. Love it.

[gristy]

47. Me too!

HaHa!
