I'm curious I hear so much about how Joni does not like this or that (or any) young musician, especially young female musicians, perhaps because she's tired of being lumped in with other women in music.
so which young musicians does she like? i'd really like to know. if she doesn't like any, then her attitude seems an awful lot like jealousy and sour grapes to me. even if you accept that there's no talent anymore in rock/pop (a dubious statement) what about world music, celtic, jazz, classical, etc. i simply don't believe that joni was the last talented female musician on planet earth. i'm just saying this because i hear so much about "joni doesn't like so and so". this brings me to a pet peeve i have about older musicians who complain a lot about how music has gone way downhill. paul simon is another one. why don't they get off their butts and do something about it? they have the wealth to found their own indie radio station and promote the talented ones. there are a number of talented people on this list, as i understand, and many more out there. if they don't have time to run the station, hire like-minded, talented people to do so. they have the clout and i would imagine the money as well, especially if they joined together. mary
