The Rogan critics virtue signalers have their own garbage histories, lest you forget

Falsetto singing geriatric virtue signaler, Neil Young along with someone named Joni Mitchell, have left Spotify because Joe Rogan has guests on his Spotify program with whom they disagree and claim they spread "misinformation." 

The real reason they left is their need for relevance at a time when people under 40 may have not even heard of them. Others have followed in their footsteps.

Young said that if Joe Rogan is on Spotify, then he is leaving the platform. This caused no less than ten people to feel distressed. Mitchell, who is best known for a song, one can imagine, is also using this opportunity to get her name out there and maybe sell a few vinyl albums, if they still exist.

Spotify has been under fire for not censoring "The Joe Rogan Experience," which has been accused by critics of spreading COVID "misinformation," according to people who have already done just that and have changed their information to a newer version of misinformation. But since they are on the Left, no harm, no foul. 

Young gave Spotify an ultimatum to either choose him or Rogan, like a child who threatens to take his ball home if the other kids don't change the call. But Spotify has struck a $100,000,000 deal with Rogan so they basically flipped the old folks off. [Not that the First Amendment means anything, of course.]

The stance of the 76-year-old falsetto singer inspired others, with better voices, to follow suit, including the 78-year-old Mitchell, who never speaks about the time she wore blackface.

Yes, both Young and Mitchell have their own history of controversy, as do many others on the Left.

During the height of the AIDS epidemic, Neil Young went after the gay community with a Fauci-sounding claim that anyone can contract AIDS just going to the grocery store. He also made a homophobic slur, possibly to take the onus from himself as he sounds like a woman when he sings.

"You go to a supermarket and you see a f--got behind the f--kin’ cash register, you don’t want him to handle your potatoes," Young said in a 1985 interview with Melody Maker.

And then there's phony Joni Mitchell wearing blackface at a 1976 Halloween party. She went dressed as a "pimp-like character" and described as a  "svelte black man in a zoot suit with matching chapeau, meticulous afro, wide moustache and big, dark shades."

Mitchell said she was dressing as her alter ego "Art Nouveau." This had been an ongoing character for the singer. "Nouveau" was on the cover of her 1977 album "Don Juan's Reckless Daughter."

The left loves to virtue signal but it's unearned virtue.

"I was walking down Hollywood Boulevard (when) a [B]lack guy walked by me with a diddy-bop kind of step, and said in the most wonderful way, 'Lookin' good, sister, lookin' gooood'," Mitchell explained the inspiration for the costume in a 1988 interview with Q Magazine. "His spirit was infectious, and I thought, I'll go as him. I bought the make-up, the wig… sleazy hat and a sleazy suit and that night I went to a Halloween party and nobody knew it was me."

In an interview with New York Magazine in 2015, Mitchell said "When I see [B]lack men sitting, I have a tendency to go – like I nod like I’m a brother… I really feel an affinity because I have experienced being a [B]lack guy on several occasions."

So she identifies as a Black man in a woman's White skin. I don't believe her.

Joni Mitchell made up as a pimp

If you're on the Left, you can get away with this crap. Look at Whoopi Goldberg who did not see Hitler's attempt to exterminate the Jews as a racial issue. Unlike Roseanne Barr, who also made a racist tweet about Barack Obama. Goldberg [not her real name--she appropriated it] got a 2-week suspension while Barr was fired and suffered greatly afterward.

So Neil Young can sing in falsetto "Rocker in the Free World," but it's just a song and he doesn't believe in the words, only the money the words made.
