Harvest is still one of my favourite albums of all time. Good on Neil for taking a stand. He doesn’t need the money, and he’s never been enamoured by Spotify.

I have no love for Rogan. But I don’t necessarily think Spotify should remove Rogan. But if Neil doesn’t like the way Spotify operates, removing his music is putting his money where his mouth is in terms of protest, and I respect that.

He had the option to simply leave Spotify and state the reasons why. But instead he chose to make threats about leaving unless someone else was cancelled.

When that didn't work, he moaned about Spotify's poor audio quality on his way out the door, adding something about young people believing everything they hear. I can't see anything respectable in that coarse of action.

Did he publish an open letter on his website and then delete it? I wonder why.

Did he or didn’t he? Which he is he? Why would a blog post matter?
