still the searcher

must ride the dark horse

Racing alone in his fright (n. Young)



I have to set the record straight to live forever in the cloud....Neil Young, much like President Biden; is a confused, irrelevant and old man. Yesterday he demanded that music provider "spotify" remove all his music unless they agree to drop Joe Rogan podcasts.

Joe Rogan and his podcast sit atop the spotify charts.... Joe Rogan is anti-vaccine or pro-choice when it comes to putting unknown elements into your body.....Joe Rogan survived a bout with Covid early on and had the audacity to tell his followers how he did it.....Joe Rogan gives a platform to a plethora of people ( lunatics) to come on his show....smoke weed and share their sometimes crazy, sometimes accurate and always entertaining thoughts on the subjects of the day....from space aliens to govt plots.....JOE ROGAN has 200 million followers at last count.

Neil is a sad caricature of his former self......i doubt too many people under the age of 50 know who he is....his music at one time was representative of the times at hand...a  strong voice on politics and life in the 60,70' and 80's.....he started to lose me when he released Greendale and took a strong anti-police stand in his fictional california town.....but i loved his music and gave him a pass....he continued to slide to the dark side and soon wasn't relevant...he ranted and cried about Business and Big Auto and seemed like a really rich guy who lived on a hill and complained about stuff he thought young kids cared about......in 2016 when then citizen Donald Trump announced he was running for President , he did so by Riding an escalator down into the Lobby of Trump Tower while the Neil Young song " Rockin in the Free World" was blaring on the speakers....it soon became Trumps' signature arrival music and all his speeches and rallies.....and then Neil released a blistering stop and decease letter demanding the Trump stop using his music....Neil got on his soapbox like he always does and looked down on Trump.....his typical my values are better than yours and i refuse to allow my music to be associated with your evil campaign....he criticized everything and anything that was Trump or Trump related......strong stance.....some people might even have given Young credit for taking such principled stance ( considering his music was getting attention for the first time in years).

and then

Trump blew the whistle on poor mister Young.......he said that Neil had come to Trump tower a mere 30 days before the Presidential run announcement....he had his hand out and was begging for Trump to invest in Neils new technology for speakers to enhance music....he gave a full on presentation with bells and whistles and fully expected the Rich, White, Corporate Businessman Devil to put a check in his extended hat.....but Trump said No Thanks........after Trump blew the whistle , Neil called BS and said there was no truth to that ......so the next day Trump released photos of him and Neil yukking it up and shaking Hands in the Donns office in Trump Tower ......to which....Neil slunked back into the corner of oblivion to remain until this week........another sad grasp at relevance, he demanded that Spotify Cut ties with Rogan over his vaccine stance or stop playing Neil Young Music on their site.....gee i wonder what they will decide to do.

for the record......i love his music.....i often quote him on this blog and i will continue to do so until i receive a stop and decease letter....until then i have to ask

Tell me why
Tell me why
Is it hard to make arrangements with yourself
When you're old enough to repay but young enough to sell?
