    Stolen comment from the article, which exactly reflected my thinking on this story:

    [Reads the headline]

    “Hmm, that sounds bad. Maybe it was slightly better with context?”

    [Reads the post.]

    “Ah no, context actually makes it worse.”

      Yeah I was expecting a some sort of out of context thing as I didn’t think anyone would out themselves as as a twat so publicly… but he did so there it is.

      He would have been better off just saying “I wanted to write about people I’m interested in and am friends with”. Instead of literally questioning the articulacy of figures like Joni Mitchell (of all people) in the media…
