TLDR:
* Neil Young is taking a stand against corporate America — and Amazon. On Wednesday, Young announced on [the Neil Young Archives website](https://neilyoungarchives.com/news/1/article?id=Amazon%20No) that he will be pulling his music from Amazon and called for fans to boycott the e-commerce company.
* “FORGET AMAZON AND WHOLE FOODS. FORGET FACEBOOK,” the website read. “BUY LOCAL. BUY DIRECT. BEZOS SUPPORTS THIS GOVERNMENT. IT DOES NOT SUPPORT YOU OR ME.”
* “The time is here,” the “Heart of Gold” singer continued. “FORGET AMAZON. Soon my music will not be there. It is easy to buy local. Support your community. Go to the local store. Don’t go back to the big corporations who have sold out America. We all have to give up something to save America from the Corporate Control Age it is entering.”
Well for starters, nobody listens to music via Amazon
Here we go again….
Legit love Neil but this is not the fight I want for him at his age.
My local mom and pop doesn’t have his music 😡 it’s just food and candy and shit
If more did what Neil Young does… that’s how you break the ultra-rich’s hold on us all.
We haven’t had a music store in my town for ten years.
What local stores?
So how do you get a CD into your phone?
What local store?
Local record store is a 40 min drive from my house. It’s also very expensive so I only get a few things from there a year.
Neil Young is on the right side of history. There aren’t many people with his name recognition that you can say the same about these days.
He thinks it’s like dropping walmart.
Ah yes all those stores that sell physical media
People will just buy physical albums and then the albums as third-party sellers on Amazon at a larger markup due to scarcity.
“Local store.” Therein lies the problem.
Yea thanks Neil I don’t have a store like that around me
What local stores and to listen to it on what?
Neil Young is an American Treasure
I love neil , but its way way way too late for this.
Yeah, how’d pulling music from Spotify go?
I love Neil and he’s kind of got to do it. It’s just a shame he is no longer relevant to the current musical landscape. He’s not going to cost Amazon anything.
Love Neil Young keep fighting old man
Because Walmart and Best buy are considered small businesses now.
Do stores that sell music still exist?
Has he been outside? My “local store” isnt selling records.
