Joni Mitchell Trashes The Music Industry
from the subtle dept
Add Joni Mitchell to the list of musicians who don't necessarily feel the music industry is looking out for the musicians' best interests. In a recent interview she claims that she's "ashamed" to be a part of the industry, which she calls "a cesspool". She also says she'll never sign another recording deal - which is odd, because she just did. She doesn't necessarily elaborate on why the music industry is so bad, so I wouldn't put her in the Janis Ian category just yet.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
