The Wavelength
Monday January 31st, 2022 with Joe Reilly
Freedom, Truckers, Neil Young, Spotify and some new releases
To kick off the show we feature some songs about the unravelling of politics in the USA (and Canada) and some songs about Freedom and what it means to some great artists... all in response to some misguided and possibly misused truckers who have come to Ottawa to protest COVID lockdowns and other things... sadly with folks in their ranks who fly the fascist banner the swastika and a powerful symbol of racism, the Confederate flag. We also include a couple of songs by Neil Young in support of his request to have his songs taken down from Spotify, as the streaming giant is the home to podcaster Joe Rogan who broadcasts vaccination misinformation. Hopefully more artists will join the protest with Neil and Joni Mitchell. And remember if you subscribe to Spotify, the streaming behemoth does not pay artists nearly enough for the right to stream their music... so if you love an artist you should consider purchasing their music to truly support them... if you can afford to do so.
The Guardian provides a pretty good assessment of the current boycott by Neil and what it says about Spotify.

at the same time, though possibly yes naive, it was somewhat about togetherness too, and sincere concerns which should not be lost sight of,, such AS freedom. Ottawa is the countries city, and many of the visitors are not fascist pigs I enjoyed stuffy ottawa people getting it up their ass a bit
