Joni Mitchell has been saying for over a decade now that the music industry is awful and is making crap now. I remember reading about it when she was on the cover of Rolling Stone in around 2001 and thinking “she’s so right. and so awesome.” So, fast forward to 2014 and she’s not only still saying that, but she’s also crushing the dreams of Taylor Swift and I have to say I WHOLEHEARTEDLY APPROVE.
Joni won’t let Taylor Swift make/ star in a biopic of her, according to her latest interview with The Sunday Times. Right on. I mean, Taylor Swift as Joni? That’s hilarious. She wishes. That’s a total denigration of the folk music ethos and the talent that Joni honed and crafted for years into her early classic folk and later more experimental albums. I’m so glad that Joni said HELL NO to this poser.
The end.
