One week after President Trump recklessly escalated his threats to takeover Greenland, Neil Young<\/a> is gifting the country\u2019s residents free access to his entire music catalog. In a letter<\/a> addressed to \u201cour Friends in Greenland,\u201d the recently-minted American citizen<\/a> graciously offers Greenlanders a NeilYoungArchives.com subscription in the hope of easing \u201csome of the unwarranted stress\u2026you are experiencing from our unpopular and hopefully temporary government.\u201d<\/p>\n

Young has long been critical of President Trump and his allies. On January 23, Young doubled down on his decision to pull his music from Amazon\u2019s streaming service, due to owner Jeff Bezos\u2019s continued backing of Trump. \u201cThe president\u2019s international policies and his support of ICE make it impossible for me to ignore [Bezos\u2019] actions,\u201d Young wrote in a statement<\/a>. \u201cIf 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 a lot of other places.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the Greenland letter, Young says he hopes his gift of free music will make other organizations \u201cfollow in the spirit of our example.\u201d Greenalnd residents can head to NeilYoungArchives.com\/Greenland<\/a> to sign up.<\/p>\n

Read Young\u2019s full letter:<\/p>\n

As a gesture of kindness and respect, we stand with you along with a majority of Americans.<\/p>\n

I would like to offer a free one-year subscription to all Greenland residents. I hope my Music and Music Films will ease some of the unwarranted stress and threats you are experiencing from our unpopular and hopefully temporary government.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

This is an offer of Peace and Love. All the music I have made during the last 62 years is yours to hear.<\/p>\n

You can renew it for free if you are in Greenland. We do hope other organizations will follow in the spirit of our example.<\/p>\n

Love,
Neil<\/p>\n
