TIDAL is calling their files of my songs Masters. But TIDAL’s MQA files are not my masters. I make my masters - not TIDAL. I made my masters the way I wanted them to sound. If TIDAL referred to their titles as TIDAL MASTERS, I would have no problem, but they don’t. They call them Masters. I had my music removed from that platform. They are not my masters.”.
Most cannot deal with the fact that life is messy. They want quick and simple answers to problems and are sadly willing to sacrifice personal freedom for the illusion and comfort of “security” and the facade of not having to find a reasonable and effective way of navigating life’s very messy waters.
When the simple answers are not forthcoming the result for many is fear. Fear, to the extent that the blame for whatever problem is at hand is irrationally placed on those who dare to have a different point of view and who value the freedom to have that different point of view. That different point of view is denigrated as “ideology”; all the while being blind to the fact that this denigration is ideology itself. The idea that the unvaccinated should lose or be downgraded for medical services is not only the result of this fear, it is also inhumane.
Could anyone in this day and age argue that smoking is not a bad idea? Or, that overeating to the point of obesity is not a serious mistake? Or, that not wearing seat belts….? Or…..
Has anyone looked at the hospitalization rates for lung cancer, obesity, or no seat belt use related problems; just to name a few? Should those folks lose or be downgraded for medical services as well? Where does it end?
None of this thrashing by Young made any sense until I saw he was touring this summer. Then it all become clear.
I won't give him career advice because he's already made a fortune, but simply note that he's playing to an every shrinking and dying audience. He might do better to get to know young people, their listening habits and the issues that concern them.
@frogmanThe idea that the unvaccinated should lose or be downgraded for medical services is not only the result of this fear, it is also inhumane.
Very inhumane. There is a solution of course, and that is to make taxpayer funds available for sufficient medical resources, nurses, doctors, support staff, facilities and everything else I've forgotten so that everyone can be treated on a fair and equal basis.
In the absence of this, what is your solution? Something to do with eliminating this fear thing that is causing the problem?
@yuviarora Vaccine mandates are a crime against humanity, and are in direct violation of the Helsinki Declarations and the Nuremberg Code.
Did you make that up? Because its not true.

Permissible Medical Experiments
The great weight of the evidence before us to effect that certain types of medical experiments on human beings, when kept within reasonably well-defined bounds, conform to the ethics of the medical profession generally. The protagonists of the practice of human experimentation justify their views on the basis that such experiments yield results for the good of society that are unprocurable by other methods or means of study. All agree, however, that certain basic principles must be observed in order to satisfy moral, ethical and legal concepts:
The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, overreaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision. This latter element requires that before the acceptance of an affirmative decision by the experimental subject there should be made known to him the nature, duration, and purpose of the experiment; the method and means by which it is to be conducted; all inconveniences and hazards reasonably to be expected; and the effects upon his health or person which may possibly come from his participation in the experiment.
The duty and responsibility for ascertaining the quality of the consent rests upon each individual who initiates, directs, or engages in the experiment. It is a personal duty and responsibility which may not be delegated to another with impunity.
The experiment should be such as to yield fruitful results for the good of society, unprocurable by other methods or means of study, and not random and unnecessary in nature.
The experiment should be so designed and based on the results of animal experimentation and a knowledge of the natural history of the disease or other problem under study that the anticipated results justify the performance of the experiment.
The experiment should be so conducted as to avoid all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury.
No experiment should be conducted where there is an a priori reason to believe that death or disabling injury will occur; except, perhaps, in those experiments where the experimental physicians also serve as subjects.
The degree of risk to be taken should never exceed that determined by the humanitarian importance of the problem to be solved by the experiment.
Proper preparations should be made and adequate facilities provided to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities of injury, disability or death.
The experiment should be conducted only by scientifically qualified persons. The highest degree of skill and care should be required through all stages of the experiment of those who conduct or engage in the experiment.
During the course of the experiment the human subject should be at liberty to bring the experiment to an end if he has reached the physical or mental state where continuation of the experiment seems to him to be impossible.
During the course of the experiment the scientist in charge must be prepared to terminate the experiment at any stage, if he has probable cause to believe, in the exercise of the good faith, superior skill and careful judgment required of him, that a continuation of the experiment is likely to result in injury, disability, or death to the experimental subject.
