Been listening to #MichaelHedges all morning. I was introduced to him by my high school best friend's #NeilYoung loving dad. I've been a huge fan since (in the sense that I love all his late instrumental and vocal stuff maybe even more than #AerialBoundaries). I appreciate his technical ability, sure, but more than that I appreciate how it's always subservient to the composition, to what is needed in the piece. He isn't showy just to be showy.
2 years ago, Spotify removes Neil Young's music from its streaming platform after the singer-songwriter's ultimatum in objection to COVID-19 misinformation in Joe Rogan's podcasts #NeilYoung
Am Freitag (1.12.) ist es soweit: “Rockin’ In The Free World” (Live aus Wacken) kommt auf alle Streaming Plattformen! Das hier ist das „Cover“, mit dem Ihr diese digitale Single auf den Plattformen findet.
Dieser Link fasst alles Wichtige zusammen: Sowohl den Streaming-Link (Ihr könnt Euch den Song „vormerken“), als auch den YT-Link, wo Ihr die Premieren-Erinnerung aktivieren könnt. Beides hilft uns übrigens, wenn Ihr das tut… ☺️😉:
'Two years after Neil Young took his music off Spotify following COVID-19 vaccine misinformation by Joe Rogan on the platform, the artist has once again used his absence from a digital platform as a form of protest, this time stepping off X due to Elon Musk’s antisemitic sentiments.'
🎧 #NeilYoung is 78 today. He was born in #Toronto in the Fall of 1945, but his parents soon moved the family to rural Omemee, ON. In "Helpless" he sings
There is a town in north Ontario
With dream comfort memory to spare
And in my mind
I still need a place to go
All my changes were there
It's one of my favorite Neil Young songs, recorded first with with CSN&Y in 1970.
