I found this wild statement in a very obscure place on Neil Young's archive site.
Today, in the age of FaceBook, GOOGLE and Amazon, it's hard to tell how a new and growing musical artist could make it in the way we did. The Tech Giants have figured out a way to use all the great music of everyone from all time, without reporting an artist's number of plays or paying a fucking cent to the musicians. Aren't they great companies!!! It makes you wonder where the next generation of artists will come from. How will they survive?
"Don't be evil." That was GOOGLE's corporate motto as they directed users to pirate sites to get artist's creations and not pay!! Amazing tech breakthrough!! Meanwhile, they reap the bucks from ads people read while listening to music made by the artists. GOOGLE just changed their motto to "Do the Right Thing", but haven't changed anything else as they continue to rip off the artist community, building their wealth on music's back and paying nothing to the artists. WOW! Brilliant tech breakthrough! BTW. GOOGLE is YOU TUBE. Guess who's next?

Hmmmmm smoke coming from my ears and I can hear the old noggin twisting and bending while building a fortress of sincere solitude, But that word continues to billow through my huge and spacious skull. "Next? Who's next? Must there be a next? Can't we as separate entities join together and ensure that there is no next?

"D(on't be )EVIL." ...the "DEVIL" is in this detail: ...for to be "doing evil" you'd have to be "NOT MAKING LOTSA MONEY! And you'd better NOT Be "THAT" kinda "Evil"! Hell NO!!! DO THE "RIGHT" THING NOW! ...OR "LOSE YOUR DAMNED JOB!!!"
and then to "Do the Right Thing", when the only "RIGHT"ness of anything is "MAKE US LOTSA MONEY"... sounds like the same damn motto to me... "MONEY TALKS"!!!
