I used to be a big Joni Mitchell fan as a youngster, but in hindsight, now that I’m older with more Conservative views, I find her lyrics to be snobbish, condescending, and self important....and like a typical Liberal, breathlessly unaware of her own biases and arrogance
As I noted, Dylan was a one-trick pony - same old, same old regardless if it was acoustic or electric.
Joni Mitchell’s music was ever changing, ever exploring and ALWAYS far more complex than Dylan’s...including her lyrics.
Not even close.
Early on, Joni was searching for accomplished musicians to play her music and that led her to the jazz world’s best of the best.
As Lee Martel, accurately posted, Dylan was a fraud and plagiarist.
