"The 80-year-old 'hippie at heart' on Tuesday granted 'our friends in Greenland' a year of free access to his music catalog, hoping that its contents 'ease some of the unwarranted stress and threats you are experiencing from our unpopular and hopefully temporary government.' (Of course, all U.S. administrations, even Trump's, are effectively temporary, given the whole 'elections every four years' thing. That should ease some stress right there.)"
"'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,' Young wrote on his blog. 'This is an offer of Peace and Love. All the music i have made during the last 62 years is yours to hear.' It's unclear whether he's giving away the middle-tier 'Rust' subscription, which is just a penny under $45 a year,"
"Greenlanders who take him up on his offer can renew for free annually as long as they stay put on the island. Young's team will need cellphone numbers with the Greenland country code: 299. The basic level subscription, at $24.99 a year, doesn't provide the 'highest quality' sound or the 'music films' his message promises. Young said he hoped other 'organizations' would follow in his footsteps. He does have a 'Heart of Gold,' after all."
Neil Young granted Greenland residents a year of free access to his entire music catalog, offering highest-quality audio and music films as an act of Peace and Love intended to ease stress from political threats. The offer can be renewed annually for Greenland residents who remain on the island, and Young's team requires cellphone numbers with Greenland's country code (299). It remains unclear which subscription tier is included; the basic $24.99 annual plan lacks highest-quality sound and music films, while mid-tier 'Rust' and top 'Patron' tiers provide additional features and higher prices. Young encouraged other organizations to follow suit.
