Joni Mitchell follows Neil Young in the conflict with Spotify.
–
Neil Young threatened to remove his music from the streaming service because Joe Rogan’s hugely popular podcast is in the same place. The aging rocker believed that Spotify was helping to spread misinformation about vaccines.
You can not have both me and Rogan, Young wrote.
Spotify did as he asked, removed his music, and let Rogan continue. Spotify has an exclusive agreement for the rights to Rogan’s podcast, for which they have paid more than $ 100 million.
Now another of the greats from the 60s has also thrown himself into the case. Joni Mitchell, who is from Canada as Young, writes on her website that she is with Young.
– I have decided to remove my music from Spotify. Irresponsible people spread lies that lead to people dying. I stand in solidarity with Neil Young, with science and medicine in this matter, she writes.
Her music is still available, and it is not known when it will disappear, writes Variety.
Mitchell has released 19 albums since her debut in 1968. The most famous is probably “Blue” from 1971. Her most streamed song on Spotify before it is now over is “Big Yellow Taxi” from the album “Ladies of the Canyon” from 1970, with the chorus “You do not know what you got until it’s gone”.
