There was a moment in the 90s when Joni Mitchell was celebrated in Saskatoon and before it was done the officials asked what should they do, in the education system to make more artists like her. Her response upset people. Basically, things are fucked up in a perfect way for positioning certain people to become artists. So don’t worry about it. You’re already doing the best thing for developing artists due to the frustration and disappointments inherent in this eduction system, as it is. Later she wrote a song about it. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
