The harvest has to be dealt with after the gold rush of signing Joe Rogan.

Neil Young says he's extremely unhappy to be sharing a platform with Rogan, and he wants to make sure you know that. Not both.

The reason? Rogan spread vaccine misinformation. According to the first report by Rolling Stone, Young said that he was doing this because of the spread of fake information about vaccines. Please act now and keep me informed of the time schedule.

Frank said that he and the singer were working out what to do with the letter.

Young isn't the only one to object to Rogan's comments. An open letter signed by more than 1,000 scientists and medical professionals called on Spotify to implement a misinformation policy in response to Rogan's propagation of false and societally harmful assertions.

Young has objected to his presence on the platform before. The company's audio quality was too low, so he removed his music from the platform. Young tried to pivot his hardware scheme into his own streaming service after releasing his own Pono music player, which focused on high quality audio.

If we hear back from them, we will update the story.
