Neil Young: "I strongly recommend that you do not use Amazon"

Last year, Neil Young announced that he would withdraw his music from Amazon due to big corporations "selling out America", as well as, Jeff Bezos support of the Trump administration.

More recently, in a statement on Neil Young Archives, he is calling for a boycott of Amazon.  

"Amazon is owned by Jeff Bezos, a billionaire backer the president. The president's international policies and his support for 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. I have done that with my music, and people who are looking can find it in many other places.

Record stores provide all my vinyl and CDs, while the digital world has many alternative options to purchase my music if you like it. My music will never be available on Amazon as long as it owned  by Bezos. My position is unfortunately harmful to my record company in the short term, but I think the message I'm sending is important and clear.

Thanks for buying music locally or from independent Digital services."
