A day after Neil Young\u2019s music left Spotify, the \u201cHeart of Gold\u201d singer is showing nothing but love for Jeff Bezos\u2019 Amazon Music.<\/p>\n

It’s a big free trial love affair, and a solid middle finger for Spotify.<\/p>\n

Having requested earlier this week that his songs leave the Swedish music streamer if Spotify continued to support Joe Rogan\u2019s \u201cspread of misinformation\u201dYoung posted on social media today, praising Amazon Music and offering a sweet deal for relocating customers, in light of the Covid vaccines.<\/p>\n

Young reached out to Amazon after he received confirmation from a trusted source that the idea for the 120-day free trial period was possible.<\/p>\n

All of Young\u2019s extensive catalog spanning more than 50 years has been on Amazon Music for quite a while, but this dust-up with Spotify and its $100 million podcaster Rogan certainly puts a very big spotlight on that fact for fans and followers of science.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey can have Rogan or Young. Not both,\u201dThe rocker wrote the letter in an open correspondence. \u201cI am doing this because Spotify is spreading fake information about vaccines \u2013 potentially causing death to those who believe the disinformation being spread by them.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Young\u2019s albums are all gone from Spotify, songs from his former bands Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young remain on the subscription music service.<\/p>\n

Amazon Music isn’t the only Spotify competitor who wants to be in the Neil Young business. Apple Music has been trolling Spotify since yesterday, claiming that they are Neil Young’s home.<\/p>\n

Young has a long history of speaking out against the misuse of his music. During the presidential push in 2020, he filed a copyright infringement suit against Donald Trump\u2019s campaign over the the-president using Young\u2019s songs at rallies. The Rock Roll Hall of Famer bristled over Trump\u2019s use of \u201cRockin\u2019 in the Free World,\u201d \u201cLike a Hurricane\u201d and \u201cCowgirl in the Sand\u201d during Trump\u2019s rally at Mount Rushmore that year.<\/p>\n

In 2015, Young objected to the Trump campaign\u2019s use of one of those same songs when the then-reality host announced his presidential campaign. \u201cDonald Trump was not authorized to use \u2018Rockin\u2019 in the Free World\u2019 in his presidential candidacy announcement,\u201d read a statement from Young\u2019s reps at the time. \u201cNeil Young, a Canadian citizen, is a supporter of Bernie Sanders for President of the United States Of America.\u201d<\/p>\n
