Does any one know who Neil Young is, let alone listen to his music?

Way, way back I used to kind of like Young's music, but that was a long time ago, and it is so weird with his awful but sometimes fitting voice. Was Spotify a desperate plea for remembrance or relevance.

This is what all celebrities, brands, products and companies all in one way or another do now ... they use PR and marketing tricks to try to make it seem like they are your friends so you emotionally attach to them.

They attach people to different things, and if those things compete they build a game of it right up and past the point of war. Countries, ideas, all carefully and professionally messaged so you infer stuff in different people's brains, in order to manipulate them, by sucking them into a fake "reality" of lies.

All the countries that have this current internet infrastructure in proportion to their connectedness to social networking have these disruptive political issues, and everything is led towards politics and war in order to reinforce "authority", and all authority is treated the same, just like all idiotic theories about global warming are given equal credibility. This stuff is killing these countries.

Who bothers with expensive education anymore when you can join a mob and connect with your lies of choice.

wHOops, did I get off the subject there?

And 40 years from now the general music listening crowd won’t know much about today’s popular or relevant music makers either. But the Millennials snd Gen X crowd will. It’s natural.

I may have heard his name before, but had no idea who he was. Just listened to some of his music to see if I would recognize it. I didn't, and I wish I hadn't listened to it.

Yeah he was in the band Kat Kool & the Kool Cats, he's looking old these days.😉

I admire Neil for doing what he believes and his muscial talent which is huge.

However, I suspect he may be manipulated by his management and Hipgnosis.

I expect wokes under 40 will start listening to his music on the other streaming services where his music resides. I suspect Neal made his feelings known and his management said we can get a new generation to listen to his music.

I know he is a singer but I could not name any of his music. I do remember seeing him on a video of a concert celebrating Bob Dylan. His voice isn't quite as bad as Dylan's. But it's close.
