<< She has refused to do anything to make her music more salable. "What
would I do?", she asked in the W magazine interview.

Sex sells everything and sex kills.
How did we ever get to be such a vulgar society anyway?
If it doesn't contain lots of gratuitous sex and violence it
doesn't sell.
Rolling Stone tried to turn Joni into a sex goddess in the
mid-70s and when she objected her career went into obscurity.
Interestingly Joni appears naked in a self portrait on the Mingus
cover but it was too subtle and artistic for anyone to notice.
I don't understand why she doesn't sign with a jazz record label.
Jazz musicians don't stoop to grabbing their crotch to sell albums.
