Crosby, Stills & Nash Rejoin Spotify After Joe Rogan Protest

It seems that the mastodons of rock are returning to Spotify, with their massive tails between their legs. The only paper in New York City worth reading, the New York Post, explains [1]:

Crosby, Stills & Nash are back on Spotify in an apparent end to the classic rockers’ five-month protest of controversial podcaster Joe Rogan.
The folk rockers, who pulled their library of songs off of the streaming platform in solidarity with ex-band member Neil Young, are reportedly planning to donate their earnings from streams to charities aiding those infected with COVID-19, according to Billboard.


This is going down precisely as I suggested it would 6 months ago. I told you that their attempted virtue signaling was going to be unsuccessful. That was because in the end, what they were selling didn’t really have all that much in the way of virtue attached to it.


Bill Buckley famously told us, and in many ways showed us, that the left is forever telling us how open they are to other views, but are invariably shocked when people they find that people actually have other views. That’s where we were six months ago when they pulled their material from Spotify. So much for openness to other ideas.

I can pretty much guarantee you that there’s not going to be any press releases from these guys explaining their total 180. But we all know what happens. All this will end up going down the memory hole in another 6 weeks nobody will even remember it happened.
