Keep Your Artistic Integrity...

"I heard someone from the music business say they are no longer looking for talent. They want people with a certain look and a willingness to cooperate. I thought, that's interesting, because I believe a total unwillingness to cooperate is what is necessary to be an artist, --- not for perverse reasons, but to protect your vision. The considerations of a corporation, especially now,have nothing to do with art or music. That's why I now spend my time painting." --- Joni Mitchell.
