 A banner in the video carries the message: "THE 1% RUINS THE WORLD".

Recall that just last month, Neil Young announced plans to withdraw his music from Amazon.com. The reaction here was quite prolific against the backdrop of October's "No Kings Rally".

Also, recall that Neil Young said at the 2025 Farm Aid Press Conference that "We need a 'Conscience Tax' on billionaires".

Neil Young vs. Amazon: Neil Young To Withdraw Music from Amazon.com

Neil Young has announced that he will withdraw his music catalog from Amazon Music.

Folks may recall back in 2022 when Neil Young had his music catalog removed from Spotify.

In a statement on Neil Young Archives, Neil Young announced that his music will soon no longer be available on the platform. In the message, published on October 8, 2025, he urged people to stop shopping at Amazon and its US supermarket chain Whole Foods: 

"FORGET AMAZON AND WHOLE FOODS. 

Stop buying from big corporations."

Instead, people should "buy local" and "buy direct." Consumers should support their community and visit local businesses. The goal is to "Take America Back" by doing the right thing and supporting local businesses.

Neil goes on to criticize big corporations for "selling out America" accusing corporations of crippling the US government, endangering people's incomes, undermining personal safety, and jeopardizing families' healthcare. 

Neil Young Archives,

Neil Young specifically mentions Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, who supports the Trump administration. He argues that America is at the beginning of an "age of corporate control." Everyone must therefore give up something to save the country. Therefore, Neil Young concludes: 

"Soon, my music will no longer be available there."

Neil Young has had a long and tangled relationship with digital music vendors such as Amazon. Much of the struggle is detailed in the book "To Feel the Music" by Neil Young and Phil Baker.

Neil Young Calls Out Big Tech ... Yet Again

"What Buying Really Means"
Neil Young Archives (NYA) Times-Contrarian

Neil Young continues to call out Big Tech.

Earlier this year, Neil Young went after Google claiming that Tech Giants Rip Off Artists. More recently, Neil has challenged Facebook and their lack of "Social Responsibility".

In Neil Young's latest posting on Archives (NYA) Times-Contrarian, he calls out Amazon -- and CEO Jeff Bezos specifically -- for not paying a "living wage" to Amazon employees. Young makes his case that the "World's Richest Man" can certainly afford to pay a "living wage" and utilizes his "friend", U.S. Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, to make the case.

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos: World's Richest Man
"Over 2 million times the net worth of the median US household"

At the end of Neil's statement, he requests that supporters of Amazon paying a "living wage" to sign a petition at Sign Bernie's petition to Jeff Bezos:.

So who's going to stand up save the EARTH?
