So what you're saying is that he wanted his music off of Spotify a long time ago and due you a contract couldn't my guess would be that he doesn't own all the rights to his music so he just waited for a reason he could use. He's not all about pro-vax and medical misinformation but used them as the reason.
Could be. Lots of people don't like the rights deals with these streaming services.
He is very pro-vax though, from what I know, given his history with polio.

Polio and covid are 2 different things. I don't think he's pro vax even if he's been vaccinated for other things. I think he's just looking for a reason to get out of a contract he doesn't like. He's a sell out only looking for the almighty dollar.

Going to dig up my Dad's Neil Young Albums and crank up the turntable. Fuck Spotify!

Massey Hall May 1971 concert on vinyl, sounds on a good system like you are on stage with him. I was a teenager in those days and it brought tears to my eyes to hear the medley A Man Needs a Maid/Heart of Gold from that album.

Everyone under 30: Who's Neil Young?

Everyone age 31-60: Didn't realize Neil Young was still alive.

Everyone over 61: What's Spotify?

One of my favorite Neil Young's songs, l love the sound.

What contract? There is no spotify contract you simply can ask them not to play your content. If not they will play it and will give you peanuts each time your content is listened.

" Isn't it amazing how the question-authority generation, once they have the money and authority, don't want authority questioned any more. Hey Neil, " something's happening here. What it is ain't exactly clear. There's a man with a needle over there. Telling me I got to beware.". "

Actually, I read that it is not so easy. Even in this case, Neil had to get his record label to deal with Spotify to get it removed.

Many artists with less pull and seniority than Neil may not have had their request honoured.

What Neil Young and his label are losing by pulling his music from Spotify - The Globe and Mail
Whose call was it to pull Young music’s from Spotify?

Ultimately it was the decision of Young’s record label, Warner Music/Reprise Records, the licensor to Spotify. While Young could not unilaterally pull his music from the platform, a record label would normally work hand-in-hand with an artist of Young’s legacy stature and acquiesce to their requests.
