As if things weren’t bad enough for the people working at Spotify following all the recent controversies around the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, now they’ve got Ted Nugent coming to their defence – and via the daily podcast he records for the pro-hunting lobby group he advises and represents. Lovely stuff.On Friday night’s edition of the ‘The Nightly Nuge’ podcast, Nugent’s co-host Keith Mark brought up how that Canadian Neil Young is again talking politics in the USA, before musing how a musician that has in the past spoken up for free speech is now pro-censorship.Which isn’t true, of course, but it was Young who instigated the artist boycott of Spotify over the COVID misinformation contained in Rogan’s Spotify exclusive podcast.Young and other artists who have spoken out about the controversial COVID conversations that have occurred on Rogan’s programme insist that they are not calling for censorship.However, they argue, platforms like Spotify have a responsibility to counter misleading information that could negatively impact on people’s health, and they’d rather not be associated with any platforms that aren’t fulfilling that responsibility.Asked what he makes of Young and his Spotify boycott, Nugent initially said some nice things about his fellow musician, but then added “the guy is a complete punk”.
Third Eye Blind Launches Nail Polish Line, Benefitting LGBTQIA+ Charity
26.01.2022 - 22:04 / justjared.com
Third Eye Blind rocks out the Troubadour in Los Angeles on Tuesday (January 25), celebrating the 25th anniversary of their self-titled debut.
The American rock band, in collaboration with Smith & Cult, is also launching a special cruelty-free nail polish line inspired by songs from the album. The colors – “Jumper,” “London,” “God of Wine,” “Semi-Charmed,” and “The Background.” – are available at SmithAndCult.com.
A portion of the proceeds from the “Jumper” nail polish color will benefit Cyndi Lauper’s non-profit, True Colors United, which helps to combat homelessness in LGBTQ youth.
“Their mission goes to the core of ‘Jumper’s’ simple message,” says lead singer Stephan Jenkins. “That no one should be stigmatized for who they are. We have more understanding to give than we sometimes show.”
”I think I’m most struck by our state of vibrancy,” added Stephan. “Twenty-five years down, and all of us are focused and excited on what comes next. Still, these shows give me an opportunity to make a set list that takes stock of the road so far. It excites me to play a few shows at these intimate venues where I know so many of the fans by name, and I know that everyone will be tucked into every moment together.”
