Mitchell, like Young, is a polio survivor. His music has since returned to SiriusXM in the US. “We regret Neil’s decision to remove his music from Spotify, but hope to welcome him back soon,” a spokesperson for the streaming service had told The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday (26 January), confirming that Spotify was in the process of pulling Young’s catalogue at the time. The streaming company has a $100m exclusivity contract with Rogan, for sole rights to his podcast. The platform had earlier complied with Young’s request and removed his music.

Young has expressed pride at being name-dropped in Skynyrd’s song and said in his book ‘Waging Heavy Peace’ that Skynyrd actually wrote "Sweet Home Alabama" not in response to "Southern Man," but in response to Young's song "Alabama" (from the ‘Harvest’ album). Young seems to advocate for reparations when he sings, “I saw cotton and I saw black, tall white mansions and little shacks/Southern Man, when will you pay them back?” Many fans feel that the song inspired Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Sweet Home Alabama” (“Well I heard Mister Young sing about her/Well I heard ol' Neil put her down/Well I hope Neil Young will remember/A southern man don't need him around anyhow”). In the lyrics, Young tells the story of a white man and how he mistreated his slaves. The song describes the racism towards Black people in the American South.
