Lionel – The inimitable and ineffable Mr. Rogan. Please tell me how CSNY or any musical acts for that matter are gaining favor with significant portions of the anti-Rogan contingent such that pulling catalogs from Spotify makes any commercial sense whatsoever. Joe Rogan became the lightning rod and fly paper for every two-bit reactionary lunatic activist wannabe.

Vaccination policy today enjoys a breathtaking incoherence and detachment from anything remotely tethered to reality. It is fueled by 100% high octane anger. Nothing more. Social media platforms encourage the group rant rave and disconnected bursts of psychobabble acting as camouflage for deep-seated psychosocial pathology and self-loathing. It’s not the cause. It’s the volume. It’s what we’ve become. Synchronized idiocy. Choreographed lunacy.

If you don’t like something you hear, don’t listen. If something bothers you, don’t listen. If you disagree with something vehemently, don’t listen. If you find anything offensive, don’t listen. There is no law that I am aware of that mandates attention.

The last thing Graham Nash (in particular) needs at this point is to limit the platform of his music. He’s not exactly rolling in it. As for Stephen Stills, the man’s God. Oh, and one more thing. As for David Crosby (Was it something I said?), I’ve one question. How rank and musty must that funky doily be: the one he wears in every photo? That crocheted skullcap thingy. You could probably hold up a 7-Eleven by threatening to make the clerk snort that rancid tattered threadbare tea cozy oven mitt.

(N.B. I deliberately left out Nils Lofgren in this discussion because it would take too long to explain who he is/was.)
