Hey, Greenland โ feeling a little low after President Trumpโs ongoing attempts to buy or otherwise acquire the land under your feet? Neil Young can fix that framework!
Just keep โRockinโ in the Free World.โ For free. Forever.
The 80-year-old โhippie at heartโ on Tuesday granted โour friends in Greenlandโ a year of free access to his music catalog, hoping that its contents โease some of the unwarranted stress and threats you are experiencing from our unpopular and hopefully temporary government.โ
(Of course, all U.S. administrations, even Trumpโs, are effectively temporary, given the whole โelections every four yearsโ thing. That should ease some stress right there.)
โIt is my sincere wish for you to be able to enjoy all of my music in your beautiful Greenland home, in its highest quality,โ Young wrote on his blog. โThis is an offer of Peace and Love. All the music i have made during the last 62 years is yours to hear.โ Itโs unclear whether heโs giving away the middle-tier โRustโ subscription, which is just a penny under $45 a year, or the top-notch โPatronโ subscription, which adds unspecified extras and a promise of priority treatment for $99.99 annually. The basic level subscription, at $24.99 a year, doesnโt provide the โhighest qualityโ sound or the โmusic filmsโ his message promises.
Greenlanders who take him up on his offer can renew for free annually as long as they stay put on the island. Youngโs team will need cellphone numbers with the Greenland country code: 299.
Young said he hoped other โorganizationsโ would follow in his footsteps.
He does have a โHeart of Gold,โ after all.
