What seemed like “pissing in the wind” at the time, Neil Young’s stand against Spotify regarding vaccine misinformation actually built momentum and made a difference (I am not a Spotify customer as vinyl, CDs, Sirius and NYA is where I get my music fix).

Apparently Joe Rogan had apologized to some extent (I am not a listener of podcasts although I have been checking out the Shuli Show on his YouTube channel for awhile now as I have stopped listening to Howard Stern for more than a year now).

The old hippies can still make a difference as Neil led the way and other musicians joined the Spotify boycott.

Mr. Young has since taken on President Trump, Amazon and continues to walk the walk right up to his 80th birthday tomorrow. Reinvigorated by the Chrome Hearts during the 2025 tour which I managed to catch at Charlotte, Jones Beach and the Hollywood Bowl, Neil has hinted a 2026 spring tour which may take him to Italy, parts of the U.S. they missed on this last tour, and beyond. I never wanted to join the circus, but I am hopeful to jump on this next tour for a number of dates, livin’ in the moment with live music; the best!

Happy Birthday Neil!

Happy Birthday Jennifer!

(My daughter shares the same birthday so I never forget Mr. Young’s)

Ambulance Blues

Rock on!
