In the infamous Details magazine article of July 1996, Joni says:
I don't make much money. I haven't seen a royalty check in twenty years. And
at a certain point Geffen dammed up my only income -- which is my writer's
income from my publishing company -- so I had no money coming in. So I went
to David Geffen and said, "Let me go." He said, "Joan, you're not gonna find
a better deal out there than this, and I'll keep you here forever -- I'll
never drop you." And I said, "Slavery with tenure is not attractive to me."
