This is true
Direct result
Done on purpose
Ignorant people are easier to control
We used to have the number one education system in the world
Now are are behind almost every other developed country
They wanted it this way
Mass public ignorance is the predictable result of inadequate elementary and secondary education. An ignorant populace is ripe for manipulation by despots. We reap what we sow.
There are people worse than Rogan …Tucker leaps to mind but there are many people selling outrage by lying …I despise all of them ….they know they are lying ,,, causing harm …but they do it anyway for bucks
@thedavidcrosby
I loved your show in Arlington, MA last night until you brought up your political views. Don't you realize that you will piss off 1/2 of your audience or at least 1/3 in liberal areas when you do that?
The reason for wanting to speak with miss Swift is that she is the only one who has successfully kicked Spotifys ass
The only one
I think she could give us good advice
This isn’t over
I have not and will not demand anything from Spotify or Joe Rogan …I just don’t want my music on there if he’s on there so I’m taking mine off …that is not censorship
Wonderful thing …my friends at Iconic and BMG …both agreed to help me take everything off of Spotify …unusual behavior from a company ….I am proud of both of them ….they did not have to do that
I am not demanding his removal
I am removing me
Rogan has a right to spew his shit
Spotify has a right to chose money over truth
I have a right to not want to be associated with
Assholes
That is really funny stuff ....he’s not good enough and he never will be ....a hack player and no singer at all ....could not write a decent song if his life depended on it
I was going to say ...what a shitty year ....but at 78 years old I think I should be very grateful I’m here at all considering...yes the prez is a shit ...yes our congress is bought ...there are still a ton of good humans out there trying to do the right thing
I wish it was ‘69 because I’d have young people following me ... I need to encourage young people to vote We are in deep shit here and we need their votes
So I played with some friends the day before yesterday and spent today sing with two really good friends and ……hmmmmmm….dare I say it ? …I think I’m starting yet another band and going back out to play live ……
Legendary Rock N Roll Hall of famer Nils Lofgren just pulled music from Spotify as well in solidarity with Neil Young and Joni Mitchell, saying that he encourages all musicians, artists and music lovers to stand with them and cut all ties with Spotify. Right on. Good morning. ☕️
So ..
My wife of 46 years is asleep next to me smiling , happy
Two of my daughters and two of my grand kids just met up in Fla and FaceTimed me …happy
My son Django helped us make macaroni and cheese which we ate outside watching them resod part of lawn ..happy
I am happy
basically sucked ...guitar and drums pretty ok ...keyboard was awful ..his bass with left hand was abysmal, horrible ...square wheel bad ...and Morrison was no effing good as a singer or poet ..poser ....sorry
Those aren’t the Beachboys and I doubt they voted
Mike Love is ,in the opinion of almost every musician I know , a shithead , most assuredly has no talent at all , and , as you can probably tell ...I just don’t like him
Saw Stills yesterday …we both showed for Mike Finnigan’s memorial …..hugged him …felt good …I understand Neil and I feel kind of sorry for Graham but I still love Stills ….he changed my life …played so well …swung so hard …wrote so strong
Th reason I feel I have to remove the spiteful babyman from office is simple
I have children
They deserve a government
Of the people
By the people
For the people
And clean air , clean water .and a planet that still can support
Life would be good too
@thedavidcrosby
You two should endorse
@BernieSanders
and reunite to play a rally after he’s the nominee. Not like the whole planet is at stake or anything :) love ya Croz!
In case you did not notice ...please look at what just happened to polling places in Mitch McConnells state ...particularly in a black district ...this is blatant rigging ...if the U N was watching they would raise a ruckus
So Wisconsin just passed a law making it legal to jail journalists who report the results of tests on groundwater.
When fascism comes to America it'll be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross
Neil Young being turned down for US citizenship is Trump ...he hates Neil ...maybe even more than he hates all the other musicians...he doesn’t even listen to music ....I don’t think we’ve heard the end of this one
I never liked the commercialization of Christmas....but I do very much like how people treat each other at Christmas time...I wish you all love and joy with your families and friends out there ....have a blast ....play with the kids....love each other
Awesome news:
@NeilYoung
tells
@Spotify
to remove his music from their service if they continue to air Joe Rogan's lies, disinformation, and BS about
#COVID19
and vaccines. Go Neil!
I am so lucky ....as of tonight ..I’m still alive ....I’m lying here in front of a fire with my sweetheart....and if it did take me I’ve had a good run so ....
NEW:
@Spotify
is killing the music industry.
Spotify’s value tripled during the pandemic, but you have to stream a song 786 times for a band to buy a cup of coffee.
Support
@UMAW_
‘s demand that Spotify pay musicians one cent/stream. Retweet this video with
#JusticeAtSpotify
.
Somehow I want you all to feel good ...I know times have been very hard ...for everybody ....I don’t know anyone who is not afraid of this but .....try to smile and love people around you ...we all need it badly now ...it WILL get better
For whatever it’s worth, I think we need to reiterate over and over that only 30% of the American people support this tax plan. The GOP is not representing it constituents- it is only representing corporate interests. The bill is a failure of democracy and a betrayal of the voter
Here's something that perhaps we can all agree on:
The vaccine should be tested on politicians first.
If they survive, the vaccine is safe.
If they don't, the country is safe
That song is what Neil and Stephen and Graham and I should be singing right now every effing night ....please Neil ...if you read this ...forgive me and let’s do the right thing and help right now
The country and the people need the help we can give
@thedavidcrosby
what about that "let's impeach the president for lying" song - it surely would be worth it to pay the sound man to "play it by accident"
I support you Joe Biden
Joe ....pot is just like beer and wine ..it is ok ...you can relax about it
the states will all legalize anyway for the tax money
and
you will not get a young vote by being opposed
and you need them
your friend croz
This is genius Albert Einstein who refused to speak at white colleges and at the end of his life spoke exclusively at black universities
"The separation of races is not a disease of colored people but a disease of white people. I do not intend to be quiet about it."
Greta ...I don’t know if you will see this ..but I feel compelled to tell you ....I respect and love your courage and intelligence ....I completely believe you are telling the truth ...I and my family are deeply grateful to you .....
Just so you know ...Melissa and a Julie were kind enough and generous enough to to include us as friends ...visits ..overnights ...kids laughing running through the olive trees ..they didn’t have to do that ...wonderful memories
Thank you
speaking as a former busboy ....waitressing teaches you a whole LOT about people
I'd rather have most of the waitresses I know running the country than what we have now
I find it revealing when people mock where I came from, & say they’re going to “send me back to waitressing,” as if that is bad or shameful.
It’s as though they think being a member of Congress makes you intrinsically “better” than a waitress.
But our job is to serve, not rule.
Brandi I hope you read this ….you are a brave and wonderful soul …this was a truly great thing to have done ….not easy …but you have a good heart ….and she could tell …and so was opened and brought forth …made brave herself ….anything I can ever do for you …I’ll do
