Neil Young wants his music removed from all streaming services because he says his songs are being "devalued by the worst quality in the history of broadcasting." In two Facebook posts, the 69-year-old rocker laments his love for the old-school formats of yesteryear including analog cassettes, eight tracks and AM radio.
He also expressed his disappointment over the amount of money artists are making from streaming services which he claims have been "dramatically reduced by bad deals made without (his) consent," though he said his decision was "not because of the money."
It's not exactly clear when Young's music will be removed from streaming services or if it will happen at all. He did leave open the possibility for changing his mind.
