The recent controversy of Joe Rogan and his comments on a specific topic and its precautionary medical tactics have left a sour taste in many people, both academic and the average citizen. 

Joe Rogan has been under the line of fire for most of 2022. One of the most significant controversies of Rogan, which led to his show being taken down twice on Spotify, is regarding the pandemic. 

Neil Young, the Canadian-American singer, and songwriter even threatened to remove his music from Spotify should they continue to air The JRE.

Despite the heat from Young towards Rogan, the latter has confirmed that he has always been a fan of the artist. Rogan said that he even worked as a security guard for one of his shows.

Rogan chronicled the story of how he worked for Young during his 1986 show. “One day during a Neil Young concert, things got a little rowdy. It was cold out, so they started these bonfires on the lawn. We were supposed to put them out. We tried for a little while, and then brawls started breaking out. It started getting crazy.” 

He further added, “I was like, ‘F**k this.’ I put my hoodie on, I zipped it up, and I left. And I drove home. And as I drove home, I was singing, ‘Keep on rockin’ in the free world.’ That was my last day on the job. I don’t even think I collected my last cheque.”
