Rock legend Neil Young took a swipe at Amazon this week over its support of President Donald Trump's administration and vowed to yank his music off the e-commerce website.
Young wrote on his website that the "time is here."
"FORGET AMAZON. Soon my music will not be there. It is easy to buy local. Support your community. Go to the local store. Don’t go back to the big corporations who have sold out America," he railed.
Young, 79, continued, "We all have to give up something to save America from the Corporate Control Age it is entering. They need you to buy from them. Don’t. They shut down our government[,] your income[,] your safety[,] your family’s health security. Take America Back together, stop buying from the big corporations[,] support local business. Do the right thing. Show who you are."
Elsewhere, he told visitor to forget Whole Foods and Facebook as well.
"BEZOS SUPPORTS THIS GOVERNMENT," wrote Young.
Bezos shifted toward supporting Trump this year following a yearslong frosty relationship. Bezos urged Trump to select Doug Burgum as vice president, attended Trump’s inauguration — to which Amazon donated $1 million — and publicly praised Trump’s comeback and victory. He also overhauled The Washington Post's opinion pieces to be more Trump-friendly.
Young, known for searing protest music that dates to the late 1960s, debuted a new political ditty earlier this year that targeted Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Trump.
