Reports: David Crosby, rock star and CSNY co-founder, dies
"Musician David Crosby has died at the age of 81, according to several media outlets, including The New York Times. I'm Archie's are a letter with a look at his life. David Crosby was a member of the birds until they pushed him out. He met up with Stephen Stills and Graham Nash for Crosby, Stills & Nash and sometimes with Neil Young. While CSN and CSNY had hits like sweet Judy blue eyes, our House and Woodstock, the song's Crosby contributed were more artsy. He said in a 2014 AP interview, he just wrote weird stuff. At first, you know, that was disturbing, you know, because I wanted to have hits like Steven hands or my grandma. I'm not ever going to have a hit. I've never had a hit. I will never have it. Among Crosby's claims to fame, he was the genetic father of the two children of Melissa Etheridge and her then partner Julie cypher

Like I was thinking the other day, somebody asked me about he had a letter to the editor, which I answered these letters every week, and they wrote me about this thing where I was a falcon Lake in 1963 or 62 or something with my buddies, and we went to the dump, and we parked our car, and then the bears all came out. Because it was a dump. So there's bears all around our car and we're sitting there trying to be cool. And then we left, and then I started thinking about falcon Lake, while falcon Lake, then I said, Jesus, Springfield did a song called falcon Lake, it was an instrumental. And we recorded it, and we did it at Columbia, and it was about the time when Stephen was doing something with had known buddy miles and a few people like it was a back there, and I said, falcon Lake, I haven't heard that in a long time, and so I checked in with our archivists, and I said, what do you guys know about falcon Lake by buffalo Springfield? And they say, well, the next day I get it back. It's called an in the archives. It's called ash on the floor. For some reason the title got changed. But the original title was still in the writings. And there is a recording of it. Wow, and it's there. Incredible. So that song is in the archives. It's probably in volume one disc one or just two or something. Incredible. Yeah. The fact that it all exists is so amazing. It's blowing my mind now. Because I've been so thorough with it. And I've got a great archive as John O'Neill, our head archivist. And a really good keeper of the tapes, who is really got a good method of filing and keeping track of everything. And we keep a lot of our stuff at Hollywood vaults, and all the backup for it is in Oxnard somewhere. Just the volume of stuff over the years. It's unbelievable. So I was walking around in it yesterday. Yeah. As we were looking for some stuff. And I had this guy with me as a builder. And he's working on my model train layout with me. We're building this outdoor train layout. It's whack. So anyway, we're looking for some old pieces of train stuff. And we get in this one room and it's a room. It's about the size of shangri la, almost this whole area. It's full of boxes on shelves. Year after year after year of tapes, it's all there. Everything that I recorded. Amazing. Yeah, it's wild. I mean, you know, so when you have a memory or something triggers something that goes somewhere. If I remember that there was something good that I didn't finish or something. I can actually get to it. So cool.

"When we think of folk music now, we think of it as music from the 60s. And those songs were old songs. Or songs from writers in New York from writers that wrote pop songs and people would do them. But it wasn't like the singers of the songs were writing their own songs. Or the band was writing a song. You never did many cover. You did a few cover songs over the course of your life, but not many. You did it for strong winds that I loved. That was one of my favorite songs of all time. It's a beautiful song. It's a great Ian and Sylvia. I used to poor coins into a Nickelodeon and listen to that song over and over again by Ian and Sylvia for a strong winds. That's how I got familiar with it. I think in 62 or 63 or something. I love that song. So that felt really good to do that. Did you ever meet those guys in in Sylvia? And I've met Sylvia to it. Not for long, just very casual. And did you know joanie from Canada? Yeah. From coffeehouse scene, we met in the coffeehouses. When I met her, she was with chuck Mitchell, chuck and Joni Mitchell, it was an even thing. Then she came back as joanie, and I played sugar mountain for her. When I met her, I'd already been to Toronto and came back and I met her and I played sugar mountain for and then she later wrote circle game. I love that. After hearing sugar mountain as her as her conversation with me. Wow, I never knew that. So cool. Yeah. Circle games are great. Oh, that's a wonderful song. She's written so many great songs. I'm thinking of doing both sides now. With crazy horse. Great. It would be a wild thing, right? Yeah. You could do a whole album of her songs to be cool with crazy horses. I could do a bunch of songs like that was crazy or. Yeah. That would be very cool. That's one musical or thought that I did have. That's about it. Yeah, it's cool too with crazy horse that wouldn't it would not sound. Do you know what I mean? It would be such an original take on whatever the material that went into it. Yeah. There'd be no fear of it being derivative in any way. I wouldn't be stomping on the original arrangement. No. You'd be so different to be somewhere else. But the same song, the same melody, same chords. It's a beautiful song. And in those days, do you think of Elvis as a singer or as a movie star?

"Elliot mazer did a great job, and you know, so there were four or 5, 6 songs recorded at that time, and then but that was in the studio and we were sitting there playing like we were making a session. And for more like the Springfield, but for though for those songs, you knew the songs at that point. I knew him really well. I was playing him on the road. Great. So you were playing him as a solo artist. Solo acoustic. And the band had never heard them. No. And they started playing. I'm right away. They learned them real fast. Those guys were really good. They were like great studio players from Nashville. And that was unique. It sounds like that probably happened really fast if you knew this dog as well. It did. I knew the songs really well. As soon as they had the chart, they were playing what they played. But she won a great drummer. It is in drummer. Tim Drummond, great bass player, Ben Keith, band played with me from that moment until when he died. Yeah. Made a lot of great records with Ben. I think there's that BBC concert that you did solo with those songs before you made the album. It seemed like it was before you made the album. Yeah, that was during the time of the album. If I remember correctly one of the songs you played was not the whole like it was a part of one of the songs that ended up being a full song on the album. I can't remember specifically, but something like that. The timing of that, I'll have to check that out in the archives and see how it worked, but that's all part of the harvest 50th anniversary, so harvest time, movie. It's got all that stuff in it. And when does that happen? That's happening immediately. Really? This is the 50th anniversary of harvest now. Probably the 51st. I mean, we're probably. Wow. That's unbelievable. I know. Yeah, it was 71, so this is 22. So explain the archive. That's a good one. You know, I collect things. So, and I like the idea of things being in order. And then when I thought learned about a website, I thought, wow, I could just put this all on a build a file cabinet and put everything in the file cabinet and like old school.

"To do it with you. And then you played live with them and did you play songs for the first time? I didn't play live with them until after we'd done deja vu. Wow. So they never toured for their first album. I don't think so. That's amazing. We went right in and did another one. Wow. Although we did, I think the Greek theater was, I remember doing, I loved her so long, which was on my first solo album. I did it with Graham Nash, but I don't remember doing helpless. So maybe we hadn't done helpless yet. Might have been one gig. You know, before we got out there and recorded deja vu, but I'd have to look on, if I looked at my archives, I'd be able to figure it out right away. Because Woodstock, the gig happened in between right at that time, also. So that would be the separator. I think Woodstock was between deja vu and CSN, but was also one of the first times I ever played with CSN. So if it was that I was playing with them live before we did deja vu, that'd be a gig in Chicago. Maybe that gig it in LA at the wreak theater and a Chicago auditorium gig, and then Woodstock. I think that's all we did. So I may not when we did Woodstock, we may not have recorded deja vu yet. Because Woodstock the song is on deja vu. Yeah. Joanie wrote it afterward stock. So that's probably the chronology. Do you remember what it was like recording the deja vu album at all? We recorded a lot of it up in San Francisco at it was pretty cool. It was fun. Good to be playing with Stephen again. Yeah, great to be playing with Stephen again and in the studio and those guys were great and they were great in the studio. I think that was about the time that Crosby started getting into the free base and kind of got out of it. But it got him it's too bad. But anyway, you know, we had a good thing going on there for a while, but that after the drugs and all that stuff happened, maybe that's when we tried to do another album. That he had taken the drugs, but I don't know. Did you saw hazy back? You always planned on continuing your solo career regardless of whatever else you were. I mean, you know, I had too many songs. Yeah, because it was just a project essentially. Plus, I'd already done, I think I already done everybody knows there's nowhere by

And it was Briggs that somebody else I can't remember who it was. But that's how we met. And then on the way back, they showed me where they live, where he lived. He took me in there. And I looked at it and I said, wait, this is where stills used to live. I still was having a party out there. We were and we all got busted. That's where he ended up going to jail for smoking weed. And we all got, you know, we got out and everything was okay, but that's a Springfield days. Then Briggs is living there, and I recognize the place, and so I'm going, hey, I'd been here before. And then, you know, I would, since he was just down the road, I'd go visit him. And he was doing Murray Roman, I don't know, Murray room. He was a comedian. And Briggs was recording him, and he also, again, I think he recorded spirits first album. Oh cool. And you know, he was doing stuff like that and just getting started. And we just started talking about making records. And we made my first record and many, many more after that. Was it obvious when the band broke up that you wanted to make solo records as opposed to putting together a new band? Yeah, I wanted to do solo because I didn't want to be hindered by held back by other things. Other opinions. Yeah. I had a lot of ideas. Too many songs. Not enough time. Did you feel held back in Buffalo Springfield? Not really. That was a great band. I just had more songs than I could put in the band. Because there were, you know, Steven was writing Richie wrote, and I was writing, and Bruce and Dewey didn't write, but I could write enough songs for an album myself and the time that it would take the Springfield to get ready to record an album. I understood. So I wrote a lot of songs. Do you remember the first time you heard Crosby, Stills & Nash? I think it was after that record came out, I listened to some of it. And I spent because Steve and I always miss Steven. What Steven doing, you know? And I could hear him, what are you doing? Like he was producing and playing a lot of instruments in doing that. And I could hear that in the tracks for the first CSN album and I knew he could do that. But I like playing with him live better. Yeah. He's a great musician. He had a lot of great ideas and he had big, big ideas, big, beautiful ideas. Yeah, he was either an amazing talent. A lot of respect for Steven, do you feel like you would push you to be better? Or was his greatness something that would make you better? Oh, definitely. He was just so naturally good. Gonna singing was great. What a singer. He was

"Back with more from Rick Rubin and Neil Young. Is it different writing a song on guitar versus piano for you? You know, they're all the same, it's just wherever I am and whatever it is, I don't have much method. I just, I'm just there doing it. And I never try. I only do it if it happens. If I hear a melody and I start seeing a keyboard or a guitar or listening, then I'll pick it up and try it. And then I'll stay with it until I don't hear it anymore. Usually I saw a song arrives. But in the last 6 months since we finished this I've heard anything. But over the course of your life, there's been no rule of how and when it comes. It just comes when it comes. At first it was all guitar because I could hardly play piano. At any point, did you practice piano, like did you decide I want to be able to play piano more? Yeah, when I was in high school, there was a piano downstairs in the we lived in a triplex, and my mom and I were on the top floor. And then in the basement, there were some college guys. Outside of their room was a piano, so the piano wasn't really in their room. It was at the bottom of the stairs. I understood. And then you went into their room. It felt like their space or kind of. But that's how I learned to play what's the name of that song by the Marquis. Not last dance. Something. Let me check. Marquise. Yeah, Mark. Maybe I can even play it. Let's see. Anyway, I learned how to play that on the piano, and kind of a very vanilla fashion. Because they were pretty funky. What the heck's a name in that song. I think they might have been from New Orleans. Last night. Last night, that's it. Let's see.

"But I just did that at 6 o'clock in the morning I get up and I go to the Oregon and put the computer down, press record, and play what it was that I thought it was with one verse and one chorus. So we used those things too in the movie. Cool. So we got the whistling in the movie and then that. And then the studio, and then we're in, then we do it with the band. So we have the evolution of these melodies. It's so cool that it just came. It was wacky. You can tell that it's mindless when you see the footage. It's crazy. And when you listen to the experience of listening to the album, has been every time I hear it, I hear different things than I heard before. Or if I hear something that sounds wrong and then go back and listen to it again, that's gone. That happened with us. Several times soon. We'd have a thing. We'd be together, and we'd hear something. And we said, something glaring. And then you happened. Well, we'll fix that. Well, make a note. We'll come back. In the next day, we come back and we couldn't find it. No. So it's remarkable, the whole process was strange. The whole process was strange. Really different. It was like a gift, was like a gift for us. We didn't have to do any work. We just, you know, we thought we both made records for years, and we both like making records, and we love music, and we know about the ways of making records, things that we do. You know, like with me, it's like occasional double tracking, one line, or a couple of words, or something like that, to punch them out a little. So I just kind of sing along and sing a little more when I want it, and a little less when I don't, and so you understood that right away and bang, when I said, let's do a double track. It wasn't like I'd go in and I'd do it, and it was like, I was only singing part of the time and kind of half singing the rest of the time, but it was cool. It wasn't like, hey, well, you know, try to sing the whole thing. Never happened. Yeah. So the only purpose I think you ever double tracked anything was if you could hear or understand the words. The first time because it was so loud in the room when you're playing and you're singing live with the band, it's hard to get the, yeah, every little nuance. So we picked out a couple of things and backed them up and mixed it in and it came out really great. I'm just really happy with the record. It's one of my, it's one of my favorite processes and the music is some of my favorite music I've ever made. I mean, I listened to it. It's good. It's really good.

"Even if you've only listened to broken record a few times, you've likely heard Rick Rubin absolutely gush about Neil Young. Neil's been on the show three times now and his legendary body of work has been brought up by more musicians interviewed on this show than likely anyone else except for maybe Joni Mitchell. That's because Neil is a true artist. He's been writing and singing songs since the early 60s and his creative output has been near constant and in my opinion, virtually flawless for the last 6 decades. Neil recently stopped by shangri la following the release of crazy horses latest album world record. That one was produced by our own Rick Rubin, and on today's episode, Neil talks to Rick about the remarkable way the new songs were conceived. Neil also reminisces about recording after the gold rush in harvest, and he explains how THC changes his relationship to music.

This included countries like Australia, many others across the west that have been quite impressive in their clampdown of misinformation.

What Is Joe Rogan's Podcast Controversy Really About?
"What's the controversy over Joe Rogan's podcast really all about? Now, Joe Rogan is, well, he's not a conservative. He is a fellow who doesn't go with the establishment. He's a fellow who asks questions. He's a fellow who likes to learn, he puts guys on his podcast, he doesn't mind putting guys from widely across the political spectrum. It's not clear what Joe Rogan's own politics are at one point I think he said he voted for why I wanted to vote for Bernie Sanders. I know that he wasn't an enthusiast of Biden. In fact, he memorably described Biden as going with Biden as kind of going on a hike with a guy with a very dim lightbulb that was about to go out. Flashlight. And this is the intolerable Ness if I can coin a word of Joe Rogan is that he doesn't play from the official, while sheet music. And this is why the left is determined to get him. He also has a wide reach of big influence the number one podcast really in the country. And so they want to bring Joe Rogan to heal. And this all started with a couple of hundred medical professionals and now some of them were just med students. This wasn't really the best and the brightest of the medical community, but nevertheless, they dash off this letter to Spotify, Joe Rogan is putting out misinformation, I guess this has to do with Rogan's interview with Malone, the virologist and the epidemiologist who is a partial inventor of the mRNA technology. And this is a guy who Malone, who's not, again, on board with the CDC on COVID. And so they want to get Joe Rogan's podcast pulled off of Spotify. And then Neil Young, the musician jumped on board and goes, I'm gonna pull my music from Spotify and Spotify is like, okay, and now others have piled in Joni Mitchell, apparently Bruce Springsteen Crosby, Stills & Nash. Now, if you notice most of these guys are like 75 year old rockers, we're not talking here about the biggest stars of music today. They've been a little bit silent about all this, but this pressure from the left for these people to join in.

I'm sorry, they remember were great at one time, but you know, they've seen their day. This is kind of Joe Rogan's day, but they don't like it. He's getting so much attention. They think somehow he's brainwashing the public even though I still say it's a free country, and guess what? You can listen to Joe or you can listen to Rachel maddow. Or you know what, you can listen to both, okay? Because it is a free country, and you ought to be able to listen to anything you want to listen to, but no, no, not if Neil and joanie have anything to say about it. And the duke and duchess or whatever the heck they're going by these days out there in LA hanging out with Oprah and all their pals, they somehow were suggesting that they might pull their content off a Spotify too, so Spotify clearly freaked out, freaked out enough to maybe freak Joel out and Joe whom I like a lot. And by the way, he's done a ton for the freedom of speech and he's done a ton for podcasting in general. I think one of the reasons I have a podcast here today and you're listening to it is in part because he was so instrumental in this genre. So not to take anything away from that, but I sure don't like it when I hear stuff like this. Listen. So if this you're off, I'm sorry. And if you enjoy the podcast, thank you. Thank you very much.

"If there's a downside to this whole Joe Rogan controversy and the demand that he be fired from Spotify, it would be that Rogan himself appears to have has sort of backed down a little bit. And that's regrettable. Because Joe Rogan, I would imagine understands what the rest of us how absolutely insane and anti American and fascistic it is to demand that somebody lose their job on a platform where opinions are expressed because there have been guests on that show that people like Neil Young and Joni Mitchell don't like. They call it misinformation. And Rogan issued an Instagram video where he, according to The Hollywood Reporter, backed down sort of. That's the headline at The Hollywood Reporter.

"I think this is just kind of a growing pains thing. When Spotify bought Joe Rogan, I had a long conversation with Nick claw who was then running hot pod for New York magazine and just kind of like predicted that these dynamics were gonna happen. I didn't predict Neil Young, but it's like conflict is coming and conflict will be resolved when you start to answer some of the questions that we're bringing up on this podcast. So I wish thought if I had addressed some of this stuff a little sooner and I wish that they would give us better answers than they're giving us today. But in my experience, most platforms do get there eventually. We'll see. I think Spotify has, if you assume, and I think it's a fair assumption that the 20,000 episodes that's deleted are mostly user generated content uploaded through anchor. And if they're not policing individual RSS feeds that get ingested in the Spotify, which is, frankly, how we ingest our show in the Spotify. I don't know if Daniel is sitting around with his thumb on the big red button waiting to delete this. If he is, that would be a hell of a story. So Daniel, I mean, that'd be great. But to do anything like that at scale, they have to build a huge team to do it. Eventually, those people are going to they're going to have to put up job listing. You can't even find the job listings. They've got to hire the people and do the work and become a moderation company. And Facebook is a great example. There are moderation company to the point now where they fund a court system. And they're like, this is the only way to do this fairly is an independent judiciary that we have created. And it's like, well, this is nuts, but it might also just be the end of the road for everyone. And they all have to publish their rules. It's really unfair to participate in a platform that will moderate you and delete your shit. If you don't even know the rules that platform expects you to follow. It's true. And I agree with that, but to be a little bit glib, how many podcast does Spotify own? Is it ten? Is it 20? Is it 30? We're talking about something that fits unlike two pages of a Google Doc is basically like the number of shows that I think the Spotify is producing. That's actually an extremely manageable content moderation, right? That's basically asking how does vox media moderate what vox media produces? That is the scale of the challenge that Spotify actually has and they F it up, man. Well, it's a lot like Netflix and I think it's Netflix with the whole thing with Dave Chappelle. The same situation of like, oh no, we can't moderate. And it's like, no, you're not Facebook. You're an entertainment company. You have commissioned this person to make this product, you can absolutely say apps actually if I go and write a blog 4000 words on why I love eating. Nilay has every right to be like actually Alex, no, we're not gonna publish that on the verge. 8000 words. 8000. Shit. Let's get to 12. But they have that right. And they keep acting like, oh no, no, you know, it's just like Facebook. No, you're not Facebook. Yes, your technology company, but you're not Facebook. Facebook, that's another whole other story of their whole publishing thing, but you are very fundamentally an entertainment company. And you have every entirely within your right, presumably contractually too. To stop this, and instead they're like, oh, who can do it? Who knows? You can. Yeah. And like, you know, here we are getting into a debate over free speech, which can get really tedious and it's impossible and it's obviously very unsatisfying. I am surprised as a journalist who grew up very much in that free speech tradition at how far we are moving away to actually like we do want to get rid of a lot of speech. We're seeing it from the right right now, crawl across these elementary school districts that want to ban a wonderful literature about the Holocaust and slavery and everything. And so I feel like I do want to stand up for platforms that want to welcome a wide variety of views, including views that I find upsetting, you know, that sort of thing. But at the same time, I do think they're just sort of a handful of issues where I am going to judge you for what you promote and public health and safety is just at the top of that list for me. You just said platforms that publish things even if you don't support them or they make you uncomfortable. You're on substack that's an obvious reference to substack, which published a little moderation manifesto this week. I don't know if they knew Neil Young was going to get into a fight with Spotify, but certainly these things lined up perfectly for you to write a sparkling issue of your newsletter. Some stock is like, look, no holds barred. We're not going to let you do hate speech apart from that. We think the answer is, you know that everything on this platform is a direct relationship between you and the writer. We trust writers who trust their audiences have at it. That's fine. It takes a cut, I think there's a little bit of at the end of the day. What if the most highly paid writer on sub sack is like, I don't know, thinks you're IQ is determined by your race, for example, that is true right now. There's a lot of uncomfortability there, but I get it from that perspective. I think on the other perspective, it's like there's just not a lot of competition for these platforms. I think that the heart of the subsect thing is, well, if you don't like, you could just not pay them. And you can pay another sub stacker and that feels competitive in a way that the Internet is very good at making you feel competitive. If you want to leave Spotify, you can go to Apple music, which probably has the exact same set of restrictions. Maybe even more knowing Apple, right? And then you get into, do they want to censor the music industry, which we already talked about a little bit, which is the most problematic and like I grew up in the 90s with Tipper Gore putting parental advisory labels on CDs at the Sam goody, which I thought was ridiculous when I was younger. And I still think it's ridiculous. Yeah, I'm with you..

"With podcasts, it just owns a bunch of studios and it paid Rogan all this money. And every time you stream an episode of a podcast, they don't have to pay for it again. Which is a very different model than every time you stream a song someone gets paid. And also they can keep all the ad revenue and they keep all the ad revenue. So they have a huge economic incentive to make this work. And I think that they are trying to lump the two things together. Daniel ek has said, well, I don't want to moderate rap music. Right. Which are you fair? But they did try for a while to de list R. Kelly songs. And by the way, I think this is a really hard problem. I don't want to sit here smugly and tell you that I think the question of what do you do about R. Kelly on a streaming service is really easy. My basic feeling is, it should be okay to search for these people, but again, if you are going to put yourself in a publisher role and say we're going to put together a list of R&B hits, I think it's actually okay for people who work at the company to say, well, I don't know if we want to feature this person. And I can understand other people saying that's ridiculous if you're going to start policing the behavior of every artist. We're going to have to delete the platform, right? So these are just hard, unsatisfying problems. But all that said, I have been fairly critical of Spotify on the road and stuff. Do you think young's going to be the only one doing this? Are we going to see other musicians? And is there any musician who could actually get Spotify to be like actually never mind? So yeah, somebody on Twitter today was like what I was asking me how different is this if it's Taylor Swift or BTS. And I'm like, oh, I think it'd be really different. I think Spotify would have to say a lot more. If for no other reason than where Taylor and BTS go, others will presumably follow. And again, I do think people will follow Neil Young here. But, you know, something I've been thinking about today is on one hand I think most artists want to be on Spotify 'cause it's good for their exposure. And I do think once you hit some kind of threshold, Neil Young apparently had 6 million monthly listeners. I think he's making some meaningful amount of money off of that, although I don't know how much. I think there are probably also a lot of artists who are already rich and if they want to make a stand by losing their Spotify streaming revenue, which is nothing compared to what they already have. It's probably a choice they could make. Now, it's not always going to be their call. It's going to be the call of the record labels. So my understanding is that Warner Brothers essentially had to go along with Neil Young when he made this decision. So it won't just be as simple as Taylor deciding. She doesn't want to be on the platform, although Taylor has been re-recording all of her own music and you know this would give her the flexibility to do that. So look, artists, throughout all of history, have made political stands and to the extent that Spotify's podcasters want to take political stands and to, you know, spread nonsense. I think it's just only natural that we're gonna see an ever increasing number of conflicts between those two sides. So the fast thing about can some artists leave. If you're Warner Brothers and you've got Neil Young, who is not releasing a ton of new music and is like a catalog artist. And you're always also in negotiations about rates with Spotify and Apple music and title. This is great for you. He's going to quit Spotify, some people will switch to title. A Jack Dorsey is like tweeting, like you should join title because he bought it for some reason. It's amazing. Some people are going to switch to Apple music. Neil Young gets to say Apple music and title have high quality audio, which is all he cares about. So maybe it'll cause some rebalancing on streaming. But you're also going to cause a bunch of sales of Neil Young vinyl or CDs or everyone keeps trying to claim that CDs are coming back and I just promise you it's not true, but tapes. It's a meme out there in the Hi-Fi world people want CDs come back. But that's great for Warner. And then everyone's paying attention to boost his physical sales, where he makes way more money than streaming. And then to potentially cause a wedge between Spotify and Apple music, but has never existed before. If I was wondering, I'd be like, who else can we get to quit this platform? What it's like to do one a week for like 6 months? Yeah. I mean, I am not confident enough in my knowledge of the music industry to know how that plays out. But is that does that outcome sound at least somewhat plausible to me? Yeah, sort of. Like I do think if you're like an up and coming pop star and you want to get way more famous than you are today and you're gonna cut off Spotify as an access point, I think that really does hurt you, right? Because I think that Spotify has a huge imprint on the millennials and the Gen Z kids and it's gonna be hard to really dominate the charts if they just can not find your music there. Even amid all of the unhappiness over their streaming rates, the only two really long-term holdouts among the pop stars were Taylor Swift and Beyoncé. And they got on board eventually, right? They essentially had really long windows. But they all said, yeah. So that just sort of tells me that overall the dynamics for these artists are such that they want to be on Spotify, even if Joe Rogan is there too. I think it is more true of established artists than anyone. I think new artists are getting discovered on TikTok. And I actually that's a dynamic here. They're getting discovered on TikTok but like I go for a run to their music on TikTok. Well, because all the TikTok songs are only two and a half minutes long. It's like a real a real pressure on how long do you think I want to run, Eli? Look, that's just all conspiracy theory for me. I pay a lot of attention to that dynamic because I think whatever happens to music industry tends to happen to the rest of the tech industry in short order. It is always upheaval. It's always drama. And because artists cycle so fast, there's always a new cast of unhappy characters taking stands. The music industry just moves faster than every other industry. And tech is always at the center of it. But back to the moderation front, Spotify released this statement that I have just been puzzling over.

"Grows a little smaller. But he'll be back, he'll be back soon. He's just on vacation. You can like look at his Instagram. I know where he is. He's tearing down a tree in the backyard. Oh, I know of D is vacation is a tree. Exactly. It's been a big project's chair down one tree for dieter. But Alex trans is here. Yes. I've torn down no trees. Tom Warren is here. Hello, I've returned. Aren't you in Texas socks? I feel like you could chainsaw a tree at any. No, I'm back. Oh, you're back. Yeah, I think they will get very upset if I go to a park and chop down the tree. I don't think it'll go well. Well, it's like the two, the two epicenters of carhartt in America are in Texas and Brooklyn. I'm wearing carhartt right now. Seamless transition. Far more expensive to buy in Brooklyn. So much more. Anyhow, dieter's on vacation, but Alex is here, Tom's going to join us talking about Microsoft stuff. Samsung, Intel earnings, and a little bit later, Casey Newton is going to join us talking about Neil Young and Spotify with Casey, which we'll just see where that goes. We'll just see where that takes us. All right, let's start with earnings. It was a big week of earnings and it's earnings season yet again a little inside baseball for like verge stuff. Jake hasn't runs our earnings for us. And I feel like every quarter when he has to send the email that's like its earnings again. He has to perform an amount of enthusiasm that is getting increasingly desperate. He started putting emojis in the subject line now. Spicy things up. One truth of tech reporting is that every three months you have to do earnings coverage. So here we are again. Let's start with Microsoft. Microsoft is they're having a moment right there, Tom, they're buying Activision, their numbers are great, that cloud service has gone gangbusters. What's going on with Microsoft how did you earnings with? Pretty much the same as the same as normal. It's like the cloud services office all that sort of stuff is contributing heavily to their bottom line, but they will surprise elements this time. And there's obviously windows. You might call it a surprise, but over the past year, the PC market has been booming as it was in 2020 with a pandemic. So surprising not surprising, I don't know. It depends on your stance, really. But that was, I think it was like something like 25% up on Windows OEM revenue, which is quite a jump for Windows, considering the position it was in before the pandemic as well. So and then they actually predicted that surface would be down down in. I think it was single digits of revenue percentage. But that didn't happen. It was actually up. So that was kind of surprising as well. So maybe they found some chips there to be able to ship more than they were expecting. Did people just love the plinth? Yes. Just enthusiasm for the shape. Who doesn't love a plinth? Everyone hated it apart from some people bought it. And it raised their ASP maybe. Panos penne whose chief product officer for Windows and devices, which encompasses service, he had a blog post. Blog post, yeah, it's a corporate blog post. It's very polite, but you can see that the genesis of it was like, I got to figure out why people keep buying PCs. And so it just wrote down all of his thoughts. Because it's unusual. No one was expecting this. Obviously now we're into the pandemic and I think a lot of people expected a snapback. Everyone bought the PCs early to work from home. But then they just kept buying more PCs. And it hasn't seemed to have stopped. Yeah. And I think his blog post is obviously, you know, it was just a bunch of stats that they pull off of all the usage numbers that they have. But it was kind of interesting because it does show that people are perhaps using PCs more than they were before in sort of different ways. I know for sure that I pick up my phone less now because I'm just stuck indoors, so it's like I don't have that time where I'm traveling to an office as much anymore. So listening to podcasts on my phone, I'm not, you know, doing these tasks that I was using my phone for a lot more. So I could see which true some of the stats that they've backed up with, but yeah, the whole blog post was like full of all these stats and interesting figures about us just percentage stuff that doesn't really mean anything really. Because you don't really know what it's all based on. The worst, by the way, is when I'm looking at Twitter on my laptop and then I pick up my phone and then I open Twitter and I don't know what I've accomplished. You just chasing the notifications, right? Just make sure I haven't missed anything. Yeah. Well, he called out three trends. It's a three trends in the blog post, I think, are interesting. Because you would have called them at the beginning of pandemic, but it's interesting to hear Microsoft say they're real. The rise in hybrid work in learning shifts and entertainment habits and distribution models, which is just streaming. And changing consumer habits for everyday tasks, which is a little fuzzier, but I think it means Tom's at home and picking up his phone less. Pretty much. I'm pretty sure that's what that means, right? Yeah. So you would have predicted that at the beginning of the pandemic is the ongoing increase in pieces, sales surprising to you. Yes and no, I think there's still that ongoing reality for a lot of businesses especially. There were probably thinking last year before Macron arrived, you know, we're probably going to go back into the office. And now they're like, that was two years ago..

"Right, and just to be clear, all of these various terms or theories they've all been disproven and discredited. Correct. Right. The information that they're sharing is cherry picked that's outdated. It's a very opinionated in general. All of these experts said he has supposed experts he has on have been immediately debugged by other professionals and their information just doesn't hold water. But he allows about and he himself does this sort of believe in a lot of these conspiracy theories regarding COVID. All right, and how is Spotify responded to young's ultimatum? Well, Spotify kept quiet. Again, this was early in the week, but as of yesterday, Wednesday, they did come out in a statement saying that they regret that Neil Young made this decision saying that he wants his music off the Spotify platform. But as right now, it does look like they are going to they are going to be removing his music per his direction. Okay. And you know to me really like this is Neil Young's catalog is relatively new to Spotify anyways. Right, so Neil Young does not like streaming music streaming platforms. And I'm sure there's probably a Neil Young is very sort of some people call him a hippie but he's very gets corporations and he's very you know he's for the farmers and what not. He's very sort of grassroots kind of political guy. But one of the big reasons why he doesn't like extreme music is because he says it doesn't sound good. He actually created his own streaming platform for his music that provided the highest the highest quality streaming you could get. And that's available on his site. But in general, he didn't like Spotify. He was on tidal for bit now he's off of there. So he just doesn't like these platforms anyway. So this kind of also gave them an out to not be on Spotify anymore. Got it. Got it. You know, has Joe Rogan say anything about this. I'm curious because it seems like obviously Spotify has a lot invested in Roman success, but has he responded at all? Nothing good. Nothing at least via social media. Sometimes he will, if there's a certain news story he'll post about social media, we're really waiting for everybody who a listen to Rogan and be what is following up on this story is wait for the next sort of updated podcast. Usually he records his podcast a few days in advance. So there doesn't seem to be a podcast yet where it's post Danielle young litter and that could be really any day now could be Thursday could be Friday. And usually when that finally happens, then someone that someone will ask him, hey, what's with the new young thing? And then he'll go on and explain his feelings. So nothing yet probably in a day or so. Got it. And I know there's some artists certainly on the opposite end of the spectrum. There are artists who have supported Rogan. At least in terms of staying on Spotify, they may not necessarily agree with themselves. Who some of those are and what they're saying. Well, you know, his biggest sort of detractors, but also his supporters in this aspect of was Howard Stern, granted, he's not a music artist, but obviously a very controversial figure regarding anything free speech, and he was very supportive. Even though he totally disagrees with what role it says totally disagrees with the guests that come on, he was very big on saying, hey, you know, you really can't remove a guy for free speech..

Spotify Removes Neil Young's Music After Complaints About Joe Rogan
"And just to give you one more example of how crazy this has gotten, this cancel culture let's shut up and suppress and censor conservative voices. The latest example, and this one has the twist at the end though, is you probably heard about Neil Young. Legendary classic rocker Neil Young. Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, of course, a huge solo career. 76 year old musician far left has his music as almost every musician does on Spotify. Spotify is the company and the platform that hosts the Joe Rogan podcast, the Joe Rogan experience Joe Rogan is easily the podcast king of America. Number one by a mile in terms of listenership and viewership of his podcast, he, by the way, hosted an interview with the same doctor Robert Malone that I just played the clip of before the break. And it just, it pretty much blew up the Internet. And the left went crazy because he gave this massive platform to doctor Robert Malone, the inventor of the mRNA vaccine. Well, that led Neil Young, to issue an ultimatum to Spotify. Said you removed the Joe Rogan experience, him and his conservative science that he's using to battle the Doctor Fauci's of the world. You either remove him from the platform Spotify or you take all of my music off of there. You can have Rogan or young but not both. Neil Young declared. This would be a great place for a record scratch because it took about 0.2 seconds for Spotify to say see ya.

Whose time I smoked some blood with a band? Then it became real obvious. At the time that that happened, that wave of people discovering marijuana and music was everybody doing it. Was it like a known piece of the puzzle or doorway? It was kind of the underground of music. There was that underground. Not everybody did it. A lot of people in the underground group. Yeah, some clubs. I was just trying to it wasn't like so prevalent that you could walk in the club and smell it. It was not like that yet. It smelled on the street. But not somewhere where you're in a closed space with people. Early you mentioned the rust, how the guitar rig changed right before rust. How did it work out for you to film the rust tour? Well, Larry Johnson and did grow. And then David Meyers was director of photography in diamond spread on the hills of producer.

I was hanging out with Larry all the time and just made what we had made already a few years back before that maybe in 7 one 7 two, we made Germany through the past, which was my first film. I really not a filmmaker, you know, on the path. I make movies, mostly for fun. I like to do it for fun. It's fun to do. It's great to create this and then create these scenes in a room. You know, I can't really, I'm not a game compete with all of the movie makers because that's not what this is. I'm not doing that. It's about music and film fantasy. That's what I like to do. Cool. I'm excited to see all of the 8 films that you talked about finding through the archive project. That would be great to see. Yeah, they're going to be fun. That's a good, that's a good ride. I think there's a maybe 9 minute. This is why this set is a film start in the set in the volume three. There's a lot of evolution of ideas. Plus some audio documentary audio, which had done one disk Linda monster nicolet Larson Lee sitting around the table with David Briggs. And I'm playing every song that I've just written for them and they're starting to sing the parts law and playing for the first time. So there's like ten or 12 songs along the one and those kind of songs from that era. And they're all singing, they're doing more often. It's more like it's a doctor musical. Yeah, sounds great. Yeah, it's interesting. I mean, I think people need more of the real thing behind the music. Yeah. And I can put out all my records, but I've already put all of my records out. I'll put the backstory of the records out a little bit or things you might have missed. Or if things have gotten left behind on the search for perfection. Organisms. It's quite often the original things that happened. When you look back and you go, wow, why did we go by that? Why didn't we just stay right there and go home? So I've discovered a lot of things like that in the archives. It's like 900,000. Whatever it is, I can't wait to hear the whole thing. Sit back and sit back and relax. The whole thing and probably take a day to listen to this. Beautiful. Yeah, three. Cool man. Well, it's a pleasure speaking to you as always. You too. I miss you and I love you. Likewise, my friend.

"Visit IBM dot com to learn more. We're back with the rest of part one of Rick Rubin's conversation with Neil Young. Back to buffalo Springfield for a minute, there's a story that the day before buffalo Springfield broke up, you fired the manager of the band, which was Elliot. Our friend Elliott. And broke Elliot's heart because he loved the band and you coldly fired Elliot and then well this is the story. You'll tell me the truth. I'm telling you the mythical story, the legend. In the legend, you fire Elliot, you break his heart, the next day you quit the band, the band breaks up, and then you call Elliot and you hire him to be your personal manager. Is any of that is it anything like that? It's all true. It didn't happen so fast, but it took a couple of weeks. Yeah, he did something I didn't like getting to remember what it was, but I told him. That was us. So what changed that made you rehire him after firing him? I loved him. I loved him, but, you know, he fucked up so bad, I had kind of couldn't have him. So I think it's just my own immaturity. I had to have a wall for myself. Or not at all. He worked out. Worked out great. The love affair went on up until he passed on and still continues because we can still send our love to Elliot. Yeah. Share what we're feeling and if we listen close, we'll probably hear what he's got to say. That's right, we will. Tell me about Briggs. First meeting Briggs. How do you meet him? That breaks into paying a canyon? I was walking along old to paying the canyon boulevard on my way to a restaurant to have breakfast. And it was about a mile and a half a lot of water. And Briggs and by Pete went by and what a would have been a Homer, but it was earlier four hours. So it was a military vehicle troop carrier country. Cool vehicle. Yeah. And you saw me in the stop and pick me up. So I met him. Were you hitchhiking or you were just walking? Just walking. And he just said, hey, do you want to ride? You want to ride? And I said, sure. Thanks. Do you remember good conversation in the car? Was he involved in music at the time? Oh, yeah. It was producing, we worked with Murray Roman, the comedian, and he worked with tector grandma ton records. He was working on a record with Randy California from the spirit. What a few things going on and everything. And I just like talking to him. Yeah. I got to know him and find out where he lived and wolver hang out at his office hanging out and talk. But in some sense, we started talking about it. What was the first album you did with him? My first album from the beginning. Amazing. Yeah. And that was the record we made after I met him. And I moved from the house I was living in to another house, one in Japan to where I reported after the gold rush. But this has long before that. And I was living in Japan at my new house. And going in and recording with bricks, TG and G recorders and a little bit of Wally hiders and stuff working with Jim masona and George grant them that helped us out in Springfield as we were breaking up. And George grant them was in poco, which Jim Messina and Richie Fira started. So I just, you know, I play with Jim and as I knew them, and then George. When did you build the big red box with the pedal box? Okay, 1976, the first iteration of it. Yeah. This was the simplest version of it. The first version only had two levels. First of all, let me explain what it did. It connected a electric potentiometer for the spring, a spring drive through a cable to an electric box that you could turn on or turn off. I'd had a spring on it. So if you turn it off, it went back to its starting position wherever you manually screwed it into the post on the button on the amp. The volume control, I took the volume control off my deluxe, stuck this thing over the volume post, screwed it in. Once I'd gotten the volume where I wanted it, then I put the thing over, and screwed it in. And then if I hit the switch, it would go turning this thing until the spring it was pushed all the way. And that would turn it all the way up. And then if I push the button again, we'll turn off and then it will go back down. So the advantage of that with a fender deluxe or with any old amplifier is a really the master wallingham is the tone control. Yeah, the ancillary tone controls for base and treble. But they don't really do what the volume control does, which is overload the hell out of it. So that was the amount of overload that I had was decided by the position of that one button. So there was just silver box that was going to look like a mechanized set holding it on top of my amp. And then I had a vendor reverb unit. And those two things, that's what I used. Up until 19 and including 1976. And the last record that I made playing that way was as a record that is called electric duty presents chaos and the course of rode in on it. I've never heard that one. Oh, it's not out. Oh, that's why. It's just I just found it and it's the last one that I did with the original rig. Then rust never sleeps was the next tour, and I developed a system that had four levels for the potentiometer to go to four buttons to select the tones that I wanted by the position of the master volume. So it's only controlling the master volume. That's the only thing that the box does. That's what that does, but the red box also has on the bottom there's four buttons that's low medium, medium high and hot. And then you all sound different. Really radically different. Along the top, there's a MXR analog delay in it, a neutron octave divider. Someone kind of flash thing and they on off bypass that took them all out of the loop. Wow. And that complex. So they were all together, the neutron octave divider and the other things on the echo blocks which are the most critical ones. And every once in a while I use the flanger and there was another one that was a ridiculous digital thing that it sounded like that was making popcorn or something. So I throw that in for a couple of notes, every once in a while. But they're right on the edge of my foot. All these things, and I have them all there, and then one on button would take them all out. So then instead of going through all these switches, the signal only went for the one. I bypassed all of the electronics and everything in the other stuff. But if I want.
Wintrust Business Lunch with Steve Bertrand
Paul Simon Sells Catalog to Sony Music Publishing
"Simon was selling his song catalog. Yeah, he's joined the ranks of some other music greats. I think you and I talked about Bob Dylan. Not that long ago, but Paul Simon has has done the same. He sold his entire song catalog to Sony Music. And the deal that the terms of that were not disclosed, But you know the same with Bob Dylan when Bob Dylan's sold his. It was estimated to be about three worth about $300 million, so you can kind of guess Paul Simon's probably in that same neighborhood, But Neil Young did this recently. Stevie Nicks has done this, and it's kind of joining these music greats that are selling off their their song catalog. So we'll see what happens there. You know, when Neil Young did it, he was very specific about these cannot be in jingles. Thieves cannot be. He had some rules about what couldn't could not happen to his songs. So we'll see. I think more will emerge about about Paul Simon here. But when you think about, you know the late fifties, when he started with Art Garfunkel, just the body of work since then, that's a lot of music.
