\n\tBack in October, Neil Young<\/a> pledged to remove all of his music from Amazon.<\/a> And in a recent post on the Neil Young Archives<\/a>, he said he\u2019s sticking with the plan.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAmazon<\/a> is owned by Jeff Bezos, a billionaire backer of the president,\u201d he wrote. \u201cThe president\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cRecord stores provide all my vinyl and CDs, while the digital music world has many alternative options to purchase my music if you like it,\u201d he continued. \u201cMy 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tYoung\u2019s complete catalog and a vast archive of live concerts, studio outtakes, and concert films are available on the Neil Young Archives in super-high-definition sound. Prices range from $24.99 to $99.99 a year, but he\u2019s just gifted all of it to the people of Greenland<\/a> in response to President Donald Trump\u2019s threats against the nation.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI 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,\u201d he wrote. \u201cIt is my sincere wish for you to be able to enjoy all of my music in your beautiful Greenland<\/a> home, in its highest quality. This is an offer of peace and love. All the music I made during the last 62 years is yours to hear. You can renew for free was long as you\u2019re in Greenland. We do hope other organizations will follow in the spirit of our example.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFinally, in a public letter he posted today, his third in just three days, Young also shared some thoughts on the media landscape today.<\/a> \u201cIf you watch Fox, try another channel for your news for just one day,\u201d he wrote. \u201cUntruths are abounding on Fox. New York Times used to be where I went for news. Now I go to The Guardian. I suggest you give it a try. Forget the news \u2018shows\u2019 on media. They are all posers and good looks. Remember \u2018News Programs\u2019 where it was not all about posing? Americans need some truth, not media obsessed with satisfying everybody. CNN? Trash mostly. Look deeper. There is real coverage. Go to independent journalism. Get some relief from white-washed \u2018news shows.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tYoung has had a lot of time to read The Guardian since playing his most recent show at the Painted Turtle Camp in Lake Hughes, California, on Oct. 25. He kicks off a European tour with the Chrome Hearts on June 17 at the Eden Project in Cornwall, England.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Back in October, Neil Young pledged to remove all of his music from Amazon.
