"One week after President Trump recklessly escalated his threats to takeover Greenland, Neil Young is gifting the country's residents free access to his entire music catalog. In a letter addressed to "our Friends in Greenland," the recently-minted American citizen graciously offers Greenlanders a NeilYoungArchives.com subscription in the hope of easing "some of the unwarranted stress...you are experiencing from our unpopular and hopefully temporary government.""
""The president's international policies and his support of ICE make it impossible for me to ignore [Bezos'] actions," Young wrote in a statement. "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.""
"I would like to offer a free one-year subscription to all Greenland residents. 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, in its highest quality."
Neil Young is offering all Greenland residents a free one-year subscription to NeilYoungArchives.com so they can access his entire music catalog. The offer is framed as a gesture of kindness, intended to ease stress caused by the U.S. government's threats regarding Greenland. Young previously removed his music from Amazon's streaming service because of owner Jeff Bezos's support for President Trump and policies including ICE enforcement, and he urged people to avoid Amazon. Young expresses hope that other organizations will emulate the gesture. Greenland residents can sign up at NeilYoungArchives.com/Greenland and may be able to renew the subscription for free.
