Spotify should give Rogan the cash Meghan & Harry make from shows and tear up their contract, Piers says… – The US Sun

PIERS Morgan has praised Joe Rogan, saying Spotify should give the podcaster the cash Meghan Markle & Prince Harry make from their show and tear up the Royal family's contract.

Sun columnist Morgan is the latest to chime in on the Rogan and Spotify drama after the streaming service sided with the podcaster by removing Neil Young and Joni Mitchell's music from the platform over complaints about misinformation.

In a New York Post opinion piece on Monday, Morgan recognized the criticism Rogan once spewed about him, recalling how the podcaster once branded him an "a**hole".

"Joe Roganonce branded me an a**hole' after I called for more gun restrictions in America - and said my British accent should itself be restricted to selling mops and non-stick cookware on late-night TV.

"To be fair, he was probably speaking for many of his fellow countrymen who understandably objected to being told how to live their lives by a snooty reincarnation of George III," Morgan wrote.

However, Morgan agreed they both have "an open mind" and how Rogan doesn't "park himself into any particular political or social tribe."

"Rogans got an open mind; like me, he doesnt park himself into any particular political or social tribe, nor does he like or dislike people according to their partisan allegiance.

"Spotify should give Joe Rogan cash Meghan & Harry make from their shows and tear up Royals' contract, he said.

Morgan praised Rogan as a strong supporter of free speech.

"He describes himself as a socially-liberal man who supports gay rights, womens rights, universal health care and recreational drug use, and he has publicly endorsed Ron Paul, Bernie Sanders and Tulsi Gabbard," Morgan said.

"But Rogan also believes strongly in free speech, hates cancel culture, supports the 2nd Amendment and loudly condemns the appalling way conservative voices are constantly vilified and censored by liberal-run media," he added.

Spotify has faced a huge backlash for standing up for Rogan, despite outrage from artists and music fans.

Neil Young was among those who objected to his songs being played on the same platform as Rogan and issued Spotify with an ultimatum - remove Rogan or lose the rocker's music.

After Spotify chose to pull the singer's catalog over the row, fans rallied around him, threatening tocancel their monthly subscriptions.

Prince Harry and Meghan alsohit out at the company, saying they had spoken to bosses about their concerns.

Morgan said he regularly listens to The Joe Rogan Experience, calling it "brilliant" and "free-wheeling."

"I regularly listen to his podcast The Joe Rogan Experience and its a brilliantly free-wheeling, wide-ranging, sometimes combative, always fascinating series of conversations with people from all walks of life who hold all manner of opinions.

"I dont always agree with what Rogan or his guests say, but why should I?

"Were not living in North Korea, were allowed to hold different views to each other.

"But what I like most about him is his fierce curiosity and refreshing willingness to admit when hes wrong or has simply changed his mind," Morgan added.
