Neil Young Pulls Music From Amazon in Protest Against Jeff Bezos

Legendary musician Neil Young has been vocal about his political views, and now he's taking a stand against Amazon and its owner, Jeff Bezos. The Canadian singer-songwriter has announced his intention to remove his music from Amazon Music, urging fans to support local businesses instead.

Young's decision comes as part of his ongoing protest against the current government, which he believes Bezos supports. The musician has been critical of the tech giant and its influence, stating that he wants to encourage listeners to 'shop local' rather than using Amazon's services.

This isn't the first time Young has used his platform to raise awareness about issues he cares about. In 2022, he removed his music from Spotify to protest misinformation about Covid vaccines by Joe Rogan. Now, he's taking a similar stance against Amazon, with plans to remove his music from the platform. Fans can still access Young's catalog on his own Archives website and on Spotify, where his music returned in March 2024 after a brief removal.

Neil Young's 'Big Crime', an anti-Trump protest song, reflects his commitment to using his music as a tool for change. By removing his music from Amazon, Young hopes to encourage fans to support local businesses and avoid large corporations. His actions serve as a reminder of the power of individual choices and the importance of standing up for what one believes in.
