Chris Willman Music WriterHow will Neil Young fare as a streaming presence now that he’s taken his music off Spotify, the service that accounted for close to half of his streaming revenue prior to his initiating a break amid the ongoing Joe Rogan?The long-term effect on consumption for Young’s songs remains to be seen or felt, and the veteran rocker may yet see his numbers sink without consumers being able to access his material via music’s most popular digital destination. But in the two weeks since he made his stand, two trends became evident: first, a big surge in streaming attention as fans followed him to other services… followed by a return to the kind of numbers he had in normal times, when he was still on Spotify — but, of course, without Spotify.

Jeremy Clarkson has weighed in on recent discussions concerning Spotify's decision not to back down from giving the likes of Joe Rogan a platform to share their views on matters concerning the Covid vaccine.The streaming giant has been under heavy scrutiny in the past few weeks, with artists such as Neil Young and Joni Mitchell having pulled their discography from the platform.Among many other musicians, the pair were left disappointed upon seeing Spotify defend Joe, who some say has used his Joe Rogan Podcast to spread misinformation about the Covid vaccine.In a statement last week, Spotify boss Daniel Ek said: "If we want even a shot at achieving our bold ambitions, it will mean having content on Spotify that many of us may not be proud to be associated with."Not anything goes, but there will be opinions, ideas, and beliefs that we disagree with strongly and even makes us angry or sad."American actress Sharon Stone has since weighed in with her thoughts on the matter as she deemed Joe to be "dangerous" and "risking people's lives with his idiocy" for how he has spoken about Covid on his podcast. "I just want to say COVID is not an opinion-based situation, and Mr Rogan thinking that his opinion or a disclaimer for the lives that he personally has affected and caused losses of, it's not an opinion," she told a TMZ cameraman in LA last week."Mr Rogan is risking people's lives with his idiocy and his professing that his thoughts about COVID are opinions, they aren't opinions."And while Jeremy is very much for the idea of giving people the right to express their thoughts and feelings whichever way they see fit, in his latest column for The Sun, the TV personality couldn't help but to agree with Sharon. "Sharon Stone has

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV CriticThe most surprising thing about Jon Stewart’s recent defense of the comic and podcaster Joe Rogan might have been that it made waves at all.Stewart, on a podcast affiliated with his Apple TV Plus series “The Problem With Jon Stewart,” called the reaction to claims Rogan has made about COVID-19 vaccines “a mistake.” Stewart compared Rogan, the podcaster and comic, to “dishonest, bad actors,” and said that identifying such people “is so much more important to me.” He added, “You have to engage. Like, how do you not engage with people? The whole point of engagement is, hopefully, clarification… It might be a fool’s errand, but I will never give up on engagement.” This argument brought Stewart — a discourse-shifting TV icon in his time as host of “The Daily Show,” and a figure who has lately struggled to break into the conversation — back into the news.
