On January 12, Rolling Stone published a story titled, “A Menace to Public Health” Doctors Demand Spotify Put an End to Covid Lies on Joe Rogan Experience,” detailing how 270 doctors, physicians, and science educators signed an open letter to Spotify to take action against JRE spreading “misinformation on the platform.” Spotify employees also in the past expressed concern about content on Rogan’s show. “They can have Rogan or Young but not both,” Young’s letter said. Young’s letter said he wanted his songs and albums removed because JRE episodes cast “fake information about vaccines – potentially causing death to those who believe the disinformation being spread by them.” Robert Malone, a virologist who says he is one of the inventors of mRNA technology – Malone recently was banned from Twitter for spreading false information – who claimed people who received a Covid vaccine are experiencing “mass formation psychosis” and are hypnotized. The dustup started when a JRE episode featured Dr. Spotify decided to stick with Rogan’s show – not a big shock considering the company signed JRE to a 2020 deal worth more than $100 million – and as of this writing, Young’s music, including his new album, “Barn,” no longer appear on the platform. The perpetually-prickly “Old Man” singer somewhat publicly expressed outrage yesterday at podcaster Joe Rogan by posting a letter to his own manager and record company on, which was quickly deleted, demanding Spotify choose between continuing to stream his albums or continuing to stream JRE. Spotify removed Neil Young’s music from its platform Wednesday after the company refused to bow to the enduring singer/songwriter’s demands to stop offering to listeners episodes of the Joe Rogan Experience (JRE) on its platform.
