Joni Mitchell on the other hand, is usually described as a folk or pop singer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted April 17, 2015 Getting back on rant, again, how is Joni Mitchell 'folk music'? Worse, the damned topic says Gordon Lightfoot, which under no definition of folk music would he (or the song Sundown) be included (not even a Brit definition). Someone shoulda railed on the doofus who created the thread the day it happened. It's pop music, period. Easy Listening. Whatever. But not FOLK music. Folk music is protest music (see: Pete Seeger; Peter Paul & Mary). What next, Harry Chapin was 'folk' music? The next protest song Lightfoot or Mitchell write will be the first one they write. Joni is as much jazz (see Mingus album) as folk if you're going to cubbyhole her incorrectly. Get your definitions right and heads outta your arses. *musician and OCD asshole climbing down from soap box* SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Get your definitions right and heads outta your arses. *musician and OCD asshole climbing down from soap box* SC Most of the lot mentioned above were classed as folk rock for years and most of their best selling output falls into that bag, so the point of folk in the thread was to lump those songwriters in with the likes of John Renbourn who are mainly known, and obitable, in the UK, i.e. to nick the same lazy labelling that saw anyone with an acoustic guitar in the 60's/70's as a folkie. Speaking as the doofus who created this thread, it doesn't seem to have bothered anyone else for years and seems to qualify on the basis of having the usual clunking pun in the subtitle. As a rule internet forums like this don't attract the attention of trading standards, but feel free to report this thread to them, their comments might breathe life into ranters thread hereabouts. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Listen to this, traditional folk music - what's the protest angle on that? https://youtu.be/vQ9-uWXU4oU If you think folk music is just protest music I suggest you need to broaden your horizons. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adrian0719 220 Posted April 29, 2015 Documents show that longtime friend is trying to gain conservatorship over Joni for she has no real relatives or significant others to do the job.

Sir Creep is actually going with TMZ over Joni's 'official website' that is currently being administered by ???? That doesn't verify the content in the Petition for Conservatorship, but until someone comes forward to say 'horseshit!' In court, the assertions averred to therein are potentially accurate. What Sir Creep finds most interesting is what a loner Joni Mitchell seems to be. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Theoretically, it could be sort of both, because as far as we know, Joni Mitchell is suffering from something psychosomatic, something that we have no proof of existing. Maybe she detests David Crosby so much, that she really cannot speak to him anymore because her brain shuts down whenever she thinks about it. Maybe she hates all kinds of things... Helmut Kohl's first wife had a "light allergy", meaning her skin inflamed with sunlight so she had to live in total darkness. The psychological explanation for this was that she really hated the publicity her husband received, the part she had to play and his abandonment of his family in favor of politics. (Someone said about him that he was basically married to his party, not his wife...) Maybe the world irks Joni Mitchell so much - and she is a fragile, sensitive singer/songwriter soul - that simply because she doesn't want to speak anymore, she actually can't. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is more her slow recovery from a bleed on the brain caused by years of heavy smoking and the fact she's in her seventies, surely. If she's choosing not to speak to Crosby on top of that is's because she's thinking; "that fucker is older than me, has three terminal conditions, should've been dead decades ago and he's still fucking fit to work!" That thought probably tests her peace and love principles to destruction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
