I wonder if Neil would think about being a guest on Joe's show. I've never listened to Joe Rogan, and I don't know if I've ever heard a Neil Young song, but that seems like it might be the principled thing to do, to explain your position to Joe's audience. And I wonder if Joe would have him on? Would people just expect Joe to talk over Neil or otherwise be rude to him? If that was the expectation, then of course I wouldn't expect Neil to participate.
Rogan would have him on. And he’s a great conversationalist, very polite, so Young would be fine (incidentally that why I cant stand to listen to Rogan… too chill)
And you’ve heard Young’s songs. “Keep on rockin’ in the free world” (?) is a staple.
Young’s no Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) though. Easiest decision for Spotify ever
When's the last time Rogan has eaten anyone alive though? No matter how incredulous or inconsistent their views, he seems quite satisfied to have a good time chatting them up about nothing in particular.
Even if you don’t like it, by the numbers Joe Rogan is far more relevant, today, to any dissemination of news/ideas (and even music) than Neil Young. Fewer people bought Neil’s garbage music player than listen to a throwaway clip of Joe Rogan’s podcast. Objectively, Joe Rogan would have nothing to gain from giving Neil Young air-time, while Neil Young would have everything to gain.
Edit, to add: this is not a comment on the wild conspiracy theories that Joe Rogan entertains.
Probably true today, but I would bet (if you're willing) that thirty years from now more people will be listening to Neil Young's music than old episodes of the JRE. Podcasts are perishable; music recordings and (especially) compositions have no expiration date.
"If you disagree with someone, the only honorable thing to do would be to go on their platform of misinformation to make them more money while they present your position in the most disingenuous way possible."
Come on, you can't be on hacker news and have this poor of critical thinking skills, right?
This is a reddit tier comment and not nearly as clever. This exact idea could be conveyed in more thoughtful way than "you must be an idiot". Unfortunately my own comment is guilty of the same thing, which is to reduce some one else's comment into a more absurd and ridiculous version.
I think the direct parent of this comment is a Digg style comment. Unfortunately, alas, I did exactly what I'm presently complaining about in this very comment.
