He is free to voice his displeasure at sharing a platform with an ill-informed blowhard spouting dangerous bullshit out of every orifice. Spotify has no obligation to platform Rogan, but they choose to tie their flag to his mast, and I for one am happy I switched to a different platform.

There’s a difference between nonconformity and questioning authority and packaging those things for sale. Rebellion as a Service now sells you that feeling of fighting the man packaged up in easy to consume pieces.

Joe Rogan is an entertainer, not a rebel.

Neil was never one who questioned all authority. From "The Needle and the Damage Done":

> I sing the song because I love the man

> I know that some of you don't understand

> Milk blood to keep from running out

> I've seen the needle and the damage done

> A little part of it in everyone

> But every junkie's like a settin' sun

e.g., he "loves the man" for keeping heroin illegal, because he's seen how it ruins lives firsthand.

I think people should recognize the distinction of an artist from their work and know their boundaries. If I said I enjoyed Alec Baldwin's "work" in his numerous film roles, I don't necessarily want to know what they are like in real life. In today's day and age that aspect is simply unavoidable.
