Young:

>“Amazon is owned by Jeff Bezos, a billionaire backer of the president. The president’s international policies and his support of ICE make it impossible for me to ignore his actions. If you feel as I do, I strongly recommend that you do not use Amazon. There are many ways to avoid Amazon and support individual Americans and American companies that supply the same products. I have done that with my music and people who are looking can find it in a lot of other places.”

>“Record stores provide all my vinyl and CDs, while the digital music world has many alternative options to purchase my music if you like it. My music will never be available on Amazon, as long as it is owned by Bezos. My position is unfortunately harmful to my record company in the short term, but I think the message I am sending is important and clear. Thanks for buying music locally and from independent digital services.”

>"I'm honored to give a free year's access to neilyoungarchives.com to our friends in Greenland. I hope my music and music films will ease some of the unwarranted stress and threats you are experiencing from our unpopular and hopefully temporary government. It is my sincere wish for you to be able to enjoy all of my music in your beautiful Greenland home, it it's highest quality. This is an offer of Peace and Love. All the music I have made during the 62 years is yours to hear. You can renew for free as long as your in Greenland. We do hope other organizations will follow in the spirit of our example. Love Earth"

Canceling prime this year. Fuck Bezos

Neil Young is a badass.

Keep on Rockin’ in the Free World!

Gives ACCESS to his catalog to Greenlanders for free. Not rights to his catalog. Big difference.

Damn that is one good man.  Neil we have always needed more guys like you.

I'm in Canada and haven't used Amazon since last January for pretty obvious reasons. Sometimes its not super convenient, but 99% of the time I don't really miss it.

Its also made me realize I was buying garbage shit that I don't need way too much.

Only wish I could avoid AWS.

Love ya neil!

Neil being Neil … please never stop

I don’t use Amazon or Facebook anymore. They are terrible companies ran by terrible people.

Greendale 🤝 Greenland

I cancelled all this shit right after the presidential inauguration. Don’t miss Amazon, Facebook, or Instagram ONE BIT. JOIN ME AMERICANS!!!!!!!!

His song “for what it’s worth” is so relevant now. I hope a lot of people take a few mins to check it out.

I listen to Neil Young's extensive (and amazing) catalog exclusively on my PonoPlayer.

No, he sold half of his catalog to Blackstone-owned Hipgnosis, so he didn't give his complete music catalog to anybody. Hipgnosis gave him $150 million, that's sticking it to the Man.

I guess its back to on-premise hosting for my apps then.

When are people going to stop supporting these corporations like Amazon, door dash, target, etc.. start actually supporting local movie theaters, smaller grocers and stop ordering food on door dash. Food delivery companies do more damage to restaurants and for what? Warm milkshakes and colder food just so they can take a large percentage of money from restaurants and more money from you so they can pay to get somebody in office that will sell off national parks or start wars with foreign countries for their resources for data centers. Wake the Fuq up people.

Didn’t he do this with Spotify after Joe Rogans deal and then put his music back on 2 years later.

I can’t wait for him to write a song akin to Ohio
