He gave access to his catalog for free. He did not give copyright.
For 1 year
With free renewal long as they live in Greenland.
It's the difference between a nice gesture and giving away his life's work to take a stand. It's still a nice gesture, but I doubt he will financially notice the lost streaming royalties from his fanbase on Greenland. Boycotting Amazon is probably the bigger thing here.
Will it automatically show up in their Apple Music collection like that one U2 album?
That was still iTunes at the time!
God, I'm so far out of the loop on things that I didn't know it wasn't itunes.
So basically people in Greenland can just listen to it for free if I'm understanding correctly?
That's basically nothing, just a PR move
Can't think of anyone in show business who's been so based, for so damned long. Keep on rockin' in the free world, man.
We should have listened to him 😩
Neil Young endorses Bernie Sanders: 'Every point he makes is what I believe in'
Keep on rocking in Greenland
Edit: help, I’ve had this song stuck in my head with the fake lyric for an hour
The country version or the rock/punk version?
Keep on rocking in the green land.
As far as I know, there's only one main version.
Oof, I was thinking if out of the black, into the blue/out of the blue into the black. I need more sleep...
Well, you know what they say. It's better to burn out than it is to rust.
I'll never forget how Amazon's leadership was intertwined with Donald Trump. Fuck Amazon.
Yeah and they killed shopping malls. Never buy anything from there, might as well sail the high seas.
Are we meant to lament shopping malls? Didn’t they kill small stores.
Before Amazon were malls, before that, the big stores came along like shopko, Walmart, etc. which still persist. But of you go back far enough you get "Department" stores, mainly in the big cities 100 years ago.
As an aside, the stock market has also always been fucked. All the way back to the beginning like Jay Gould and the rail company corruption.
The system has always been against us.
I'm getting Jay Gould and Jay Gruber confused.
Which one has the bigass chin?
Jay Leno
I don't know what either of them look like, but if I remember correctly, Jay Gruber is the CEO of Blue Sky.
Sorry I was just making a Jay Leno joke
That weird car guy? Or the new Joker after Heath Ledger?
That weird car guy?
Jay Leno
the new Joker after Heath Ledger?
That creep is Jared Leto.
Anyway Amazon didn't kill shopping malls. Online stores in general killed shopping malls. All of the businesses that we usually in the malls started selling directly online, so they shut themselves down.
Then it got confusing because then Amazon introduced the affiliate program and then you could buy things from all the retailers through Amazon. But the malls were dead by then anyway.
Based af Neil Young, fuck yeah
There are lots of good Americans, unfortunately though there are even more stupid/evil ones.
Accurate, but Neil Young is Canadian.
I suppose I owe him an apology. 🫣
No American would do this. Young is Canadian.
Sorry, then maybe he is what Americans should strive to be.
Also/or the stupid evil ones are -at the moment- far more motivated to fuck things up than the decent ones are to try to fix things.
It's definitely an uphill battle to be a good American today.
Being a decent person means you are unwilling to do things you know are going to hurt others, even if they’re assholes. You’ll avoid conflict.
The problem is that assholes have no such restrictions, so they’re just fine with fucking other people over.
And then you have the people that drive past the car crash who just don’t want to deal with it.
So you can have relatively few assholes who can do a lot of damage. I wouldn’t say there are more stupid/evil ones, there are just a large majority unwilling to engage in the actual conflict needed to stop them.
I disagree, when a majority of more than two thirds of Americans either voted for or failed to vote against Trump, they decided they were OK with a sociopathic president that might destroy democracy for USA.
Opinion polls show that Trump still has about 33% support! Taking away healthcare from people, threatening USA's nearest and strongest allies, supporting Putin's war against Ukraine, damaging the economy badly, abandoning hundreds of international agreements, the atrocities of ICE and threatening democracy in USA, being obviously corrupt using DOJ to go after people who have opposed him. And this list isn't even half complete of the shit he is doing, and STILL about 33% support him!
I guarantee that it's easy to find another 18% that still support some of the above shit, and that absolutely means they are evil.
Claiming this is not a problem for a majority of the American people is delusional. You are refusing to acknowledge how bad it is.
Legend.
Ha! I love it.
Does he have a cover of "Greenland Whale Fisheries"?
Whale is fucking delicious though.
