Neil Young Takes Stance Against Bezos, Gives Away Entire Music Catalog for Free to Greenland. In a bold move, legendary musician Neil Young has declared that he will no longer allow his music to be sold on Amazon due to the billionaire's support of President Donald Trump's policies.
Young claims that as long as Bezos owns Amazon, his music will not be available on the platform. This decision comes after Young previously pledged to remove all of his music from Amazon in October. Since then, he has continued to express his opposition to Bezos' influence on American politics.
However, instead of taking the money from Amazon directly, Young decided to offer his entire musical catalog and a vast archive of live concerts and studio outtakes for free to the people of Greenland. The move is seen as a gesture of peace and love towards the nation, which has faced threats from Trump's government.
Residents can access the Neil Young Archives, where they can sign up for free, and enjoy his music in its highest quality sound. Young hopes that his music will provide some respite from the stress and threats faced by Greenlanders.
In a separate letter to fans, Young also expressed his dissatisfaction with the media landscape today, particularly on channels like Fox News. He advises viewers to consider alternative news sources, such as The Guardian, which offers more in-depth and unbiased coverage.
This is not the first time that Young has used his platform to speak out against politics. In 2020, he was a vocal critic of Trump's presidency, calling him "the most corrupt president" in U.S. history.
The music legend will kick off his European tour with Chrome Hearts on June 17 at the Eden Project in Cornwall, England.

. It shows that he's willing to take a risk and make some noise, rather than just playing it safe. Plus, I love the idea of people from Greenland being able to access all this amazing music without having to pay a penny 
.
I don't know if I'd want to give up my own music catalog, but I do appreciate the sentiment 
.
. The Guardian might be one of the few outlets that still gets it right, but it's good to have people like Neil Young holding others accountable 
I'm loving this move by Neil Young 
! Giving away his entire music catalog for free to Greenland is like, super generous and peaceful 
. It's all about spreading love and music instead of drama and politics 
. And I gotta say, it's awesome that he's taking a stand against Bezos' influence on American politics 
. Now, if only more artists would follow his lead 
... or maybe it'll inspire others to do their own thing! 
niel young is literally giving away his entire music catalog for free to greenland... like what even is that? 
but instead sharing it with people who need a break from all the drama. and let's give props to him for calling out fox news and suggesting alternative news sources 
it's about time someone spoke truth to power 
like bezos can just buy up all these artists and silence them but Neil Young is like "no way" he's using his power to spread love and peace 
especially since he's giving away his entire catalog for free to people who need it most in Greenland, that's just pure kindness 
instead of attacking each other let's uplift and support each other. anyway, can't wait for his concert in england on june 17, gonna rock out to some amazing music 
It's not just about the music though, it's also about showing support for a country that's facing threats from Trump's government. That's like, totally admirable 
I get why he wouldn't want his music on their platform anymore. It's like, they're all about the benjamins 
. And if more artists do something like this, maybe we'll start to see some positive change in the world 
. Fingers crossed! 
. By pulling out, Young is basically saying "peace out" to Bezos and his toxic politics 
. And if he can provide some musical therapy to the people of Greenland in return? That's just 
.
. Who needs Bezos' cash when you've got a legacy like that? 
- A wise man's move by Neil Young, making sure his legacy lives on without the influence of Amazon. Giving away his entire music catalog for free to Greenland is a beautiful gesture, showing he still has it in him.
... like, who needs that kind of money? Plus, if Greenland wants to pay for his music, that's their problem not ours 
. And honestly, think about it, by giving away his music for free in such a remote place, is he just trying to get out from under the spotlight and not make any more waves? 
. And what about all those fans who actually care about his music and want to pay for it? Are they just gonna be left out in the cold? 
And it's not just the music, he's also advocating for alternative news sources
