Neil Young’s complete musical catalogue, plus a vast archive of live concerts, studio outtakes, and concert films, is now available to the residents of Greenland for free.
The legendary musician has made the gesture in response to US President Donald Trump’s threats against the nation, Rolling Stone reports.
“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,” he wrote.
“It is my sincere wish for you to be able to enjoy all of my music in your beautiful Greenland 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. We do hope other organisations will follow in the spirit of our example.”
Back in October, Young pledged to remove all his music from Amazon. And in a recent post on the Neil Young Archives, he revealed that he’s sticking with the plan.
“Amazon is owned by Jeff Bezos, a billionaire backer of the president,” he stated.
“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.
“My music will never be available on Amazon, as long as it is owned by Bezos.”
Young kicks off a European tour with his Chrome Hearts on 17 June in Cornwall.
