Got the urge? A lesser known Joni song:

Joni Mitchell - Urge For Going

URGE FOR GOING
I awoke today and found the frost perched on the town
It hovered in a frozen sky, then it gobbled summer down
When the sun turns traitor cold
And all trees are shivering in a naked row
I get the urge for going but I never seem to go
I get the urge for going
When the meadow grass is turning brown

Summertime is falling down and winter is closing in
I had me a man in summertime
He had summer-colored skin
And not another girl in town
My darling's heart could win
But when the leaves fell on the ground
And bully winds came around pushed them face down in the snow
He got the urge for going and I had to let him go
He got the urge for going
When the meadow grass was turning brown

And summertime was falling down and winter was closing in
Now the warriors of winter they gave a cold triumphant shout
And all that stays is dying and all that lives is getting out
See the geese in chevron flight flapping and racing on before the snow
They've got the urge for going and they've got the wings so they can go
They get the urge for going
When the meadow grass is turning brown

Summertime is falling down and winter is closing in

I'll ply the fire with kindling and pull the blankets to my chin
I'll lock the vagrant winter out and I'll bolt my wandering in
I'd like to call back summertime and have her stay for just another month or so
But she's got the urge for going so I guess she'll have to go
She get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown
And all her empires are falling down
And winter's closing in
And I get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown
And summertime is falling down

Spotify overwhelmed with requests to cancel following Joe Rogan saga | iMore

Spotify appears to have been overwhelmed by cancellation requests.
Reports suggest Spotify has shut down its live customer support because of complaints and cancellation requests.
It all started earlier this week when artist Neil Young asked the platform to take down his music over Joe Rogan's podcast and COVID-19 vaccine misinformation.

They're probably not trying to stop you cancelling your account, they just can't cope with the demand.

Is it possible the pendulum is starting to slowly swing back towards the side of public good, & truth?
Who has the power and willingness, at the cost of self-sacrifice, to pursue the continued existence of music entertainment in a non-toxic environment - even if it is lucrative, as in the case of their # 1 star, super-spreading disinformation, and no doubt, deaths.

Joni Mitchell joining Neil Young in support of decency - and Pulling Music from Spotify

BREAKING:
Singer Joni Mitchell announces that she’s ALSO pulling her music from Spotify “in solidarity with Neil Young and the scientific community” against anti-vaxxer Joe Rogan, accusing Spotify of “spreading lies that are causing people their lives."
