7 - Joni Mitchell: Dog Eat Dog (Part Two)

In this 4 part series, we dive into Joni Mitchell's 1985 album "Dog Eat Dog," a polarizing departure from her iconic 1960s folk roots. Embracing the digital soundscapes of the time, Joni channeled her frustration with the era's religious, political, and social controversies into a blunt political statement. Joining us to dissect this controversial chapter in Jon''s career is Jacob Ketcham.

In this episode (Part 2) we are continuing to talk about the controversial 80's and why they made Joni so angry. There's plenty of political content here, so buckle up.
