Adam ant and ahah have also joined the bandwagon along with captain sensible. No more Spotify.

They protested and wrote songs against the establishment which made them richer than most Americans and became the establishment, irony much?

I’ve been saying the last couple of years if most of these artists were true to their rock n roll and anti-establishment roots they would have embraced Donald Trump and the fight against the DS but at their core they are fascists. Give me Kid Rock and Ted Nugent any day….

She’s depriving fans of accessing her music on Spotify. What does she really hope to prove or accomplish by doing so? Spotify will get along fine without her and Neil Young.

Agreed. Listen to ‘Last time I saw Richard’ and you will be again impressed at how she tells you a story with words and song and vocal intonation.

I am in the used LP business. Both Joni Mitchell and Neil Young are hot sellers. Joni James and Neil Diamond not so much.

The poseurs of the 1960’s are goose-stepping in time with Pharma Fascism.

... hard to listen to Jaco pistorius without her.

I have the whole “mingus” album on Spotify. I guess tomorrow is my last time to hear it.

Hard album to find.

It’s nice to read some good news once in awhile.

I never liked Joni Mitchell.

Her lyric:   "They paved paradise and put up a parking lot" refers to the destruction of The Garden of Allah Hotel in Los Angeles

Old Joni “Horse Mouth” Mitchell is still around? Who knew?

In all my years, I have never owned so much as one of her recordings, in any format, and I never will.

The 60s counter culture is now the same establishment that they hated back then. Will we see a flood of “protest songs” about Biden’s coming war in Ukraine? I doubt it.

You can’t be a liberal unless you are also a hypocrite.

Another artist nobody listens to anymore.

I only just recently discovered the identity of Joni Mitchell by name, and did a little research. She was/is a truly gifted artist - but with a f*cked-up personal life (i.e., very bad life decisions).

I still treasure the work of many artists who are in no way an example of how to live a rational, decent life and to whom no one should look for intellectual or moral guidance.

Regards,

Told me he met her. Said she had no personality whatsoever.

Never had any personal interactions with any celebs - but from some interviews I've viewed, have the impression that many are ciphers (at least, when not "on").

Regards,
