The short (3 minute) rubber-meets-the-road question about Neil Young's "hipgnotic "motivations: Would he "take the stand" (AGAINST artistic freedom) had he not just last year got the value from that is worth at least 100 to 150 years of Spotify royalties?
[Note: some other outlets have now estimated he's 'losing' more per year from Spotify than the source I pulled. But the math still mostly works]
And, for your pleasure, the same quotes as last episode:
“Without freedom of expression, good taste means nothing.” ~ Neil Young
“Freedom of choice is meaningless without knowledge. That’s why it’s crucial we all get engaged and get informed.” Neil Young
"Give a hippie too much money and anything can happen." Neil Young
“When I speak out on corporations hurting the common man or the environment or other species, I expect a well-financed disinformation campaign to be aimed my way.” Neil Young
“When people start asking you to do the same thing over and over again, that’s when you know you’re way too close to something that you don’t want to be near.” ~ Neil Young
