We're All Going to Die

I don't mind "All Summer Long" to me it's to much of a rip-off of "Sweet Home Alabama"
That was the whole point. Also Werewolves of London. He heavily sampled both.

"All Summer Long" and "Only God Knows Why" are the 2 I have in my library. "Picutre" was ok but way overplayed in the 90s. I would not see him in concert.
 
Some people are bashing Neil Young. At first I was like, what is their problem? Then someone posted something that Rolling Stone is also saying is true and I went... huh, maybe not the hero we're looking for? Or is this past its statute of limitations and we've forgiven and forgotten? Still digesting this bit of history...

In an interview with Melody Maker in 1985, Neil Young backed Reagan’s gun control policies and said of AIDS, “You go to a supermarket and you see a faggot behind the fuckin’ cash register, you don’t want him to handle your potatoes.” Needless to say, Young almost certainly regrets that horrific statement and quickly moved away from right-wing politics. He wrote the furious anti-George H.W. Bush screed “Rockin’ in the Free World” in 1989 and was one of George W. Bush’s most vocal critics in the 2000s.

I'm a bit suspicious of this. Every reference to it on the internet uses the same Melody Maker quote. There's no other corroborating source or quote from him. It's like if you search for Einstein and bees, you'll get a hundred references to a quote about when the bees go away, humans go away. But he never said it. Even Bill Maher used the quote on his TV show.

Here's a story in the news today, involving misattributed quotes:
 
"We're All Going To Die," dumb dodo edition, part 32. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti was vilified for posing for pictures at Sunday's Rams-49ers game while not wearing a mask. Here is his explanation. If you're waiting for us to believe you, Mayor, don't hold your breath!

Apparently, that's a common theme

The plot thickens

Spotify has reportedly removed 70 episodes of The Joe Rogan Experience that see the comedian using racist slurs.

However, the controversial episodes about vaccine misinformation are still available to listen to despite Neil Young and Joni Mitchell removing their music from the platform.

Yesterday (February 4) India.Arie shared a compilation of clips that featured Rogan using the N-word repeatedly and describing a Black neighbourhood as being similar to the Planet Of The Apes movie.

Earlier in the week, the singer announced they too were pulling their music from Spotify, citing their hosting of Rogan’s podcast and his “language around race” as the reasons why.
 
With Canada screwed up mail address system, no wonder why we haven't seen Hectic in a while.
