I still listen to her. Like her quite a bit in fact. She’s had health issues over the past years so it’s hard to actually tell how much of this is actually her. She would definitely be left on the spectrum in any case. What I find troubling is the easy dismissal of Rogan’s freedom of speech - as if the ‘marketplace of ideas’ no longer existed and there were some font of knowledge to whom we are all supposed to submit with the guidance of our tech overlords. It’s all very dystopian, which is about the opposite side I would have thought Joni to take from her younger days.

Guy tuned Mom’s piano about 40 years ago.

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

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,

Never really listened to her or young to begin with.
