The beauty of Neil he has always said what he thinks. Sometimes it's better to tap into the wisdom of Zappa

Yes, But Frank is also responsible for this quote:

Reality is, Neil sold off his catalog and really doesn't have a say in ownership of his own music anymore, so it was a moot point making empty threats. But at the same time, i love defiance whether its self sabotaging, misguided or pure arrogance. That's the tenet of Rock N Roll: the "f+$@ you!" attitude and going your own way.

And let's face it: who gives a poop about Joe Rogan anyways? He used to be a funny drunk, burn out, then got a gig with the UFC to actually BE unprofessional but began taking the role too seriously. Then he decided that since drunk douchebags would listen to him, why not hop on the old soapbox and start hocking the absolute dumbest ideas as long as folks listen and the checks clear? That's no better than a Televangelist or equally, a used car salesman

Given that Young had a form of polio when he was a small child, and no vaccines were yet readily available, I can see his disdain in people who are anti-vaxers.

It's the same reason he refuses to tour right now.

I'm sure his bank account isn't hurting by any of his recent actions.

Everyone that I know that has shown caution for whatever reason they may have all have vaccinations that have been long studied and proven, so anti-vaxx is a misnomer.

I don't think he's hurting either.
 
I'm fine with whatever position people wish to take on a given subject. I doubt I would ever make a political or medical decision based on any artist's whims. In fact, to try and influence others to "go along with the establishment" seems to contradict some of his early "protest" viewpoints.

@SG John makes a good point. Both my parents decided to vaxx based on being around when the polio vaccine came out. Ironically, the polio vaccine took from 1930 until 1953 to be perfected and risk-minimized.

My Dad is double vaxxed and boosted. My Mom had severe reactions to the second shot and her doctor has directed here to wave-off the boost for health concerns.

Sadly, both my parents are currently fighting the virus (both tested positive recently) and we are hoping and praying that they make a full recovery.

I am impressed by how long this thread went and still stayed civil. My hat is off to you all. However, since the topic is circling around free speech and the efficacy of the vaccine, I would appreciate it if everyone quit while we are ahead.

Ahh poo. And to think I was awake all night coming up with something very entertaining and thought provoking. However…. I respect your request and rather than add comments I will entertain myself with some music of Mr. Young. :rolf:

Party on Garth.
