I think I may have found some info that deserves deeper research, and this is related to Pizzagate because it is related to the music industry, politics, and child molestation.
On page 202 of the book titled "Elvis Costello, Joni Mitchell, and the Torch Song Tradition", it talks about a photograph of a politician kissing a baby that was supposed to mean "Kiss them now, kill them later." Costello describes this as the "ultimate act of betrayal," then immediately talks about his song Tramp the Dirt Down and how he wants to witness Margaret Thatcher's burial and help stomp the dirt down. Remember that Margaret Thatcher was good friends with Jimmy Savile.
Then, on page 221, the text talks about a song that describes a child getting molested in a church.

He's got my full respect here, too:
On 15 May 2010, Costello announced he would withdraw from a concert performed in Israel in opposition to Israel's treatment of Palestinians. In a statement on his website, Costello wrote, "It has been necessary to dial out the falsehoods of propaganda, the double game and hysterical language of politics, the vanity and self-righteousness of public communiqués from cranks in order to eventually sift through my own conflicted thoughts." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvis_Costello
But Shipbuilding resounds with an intense political anger, I say. “Yes, but I didn’t think it was going to stop the war. I don’t really want to be called political, because, you know, who is political? Politicians. How many of them do you want to call friends? Not very many.”
His talk of politicians gives me an opening to ask him about his native England, which he quit for Ireland, then the US, and then Canada, where he now lives with his jazz-pianist wife, Diana Krall, and their eight-year-old twin sons, Dexter and Frank. No point beating about the bush: what does he think of David Cameron? “I try not to think about Cameron. I’ve just eaten!”
And Jeremy Corbyn? Costello says he’s been amused by the way the rightwing press is portraying the new Labour leader as a major threat to British national security. “Corbyn can’t actually change anything, even inside his own party. So what are they so afraid of, if not another opinion? He’s just expressing views that are different from theirs – I thought that was democracy.” https://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/oct/16/elvis-costello-interview-people-have-no-idea
Gee, I wonder what turns his stomach about Cameron?
And what about Joni Mitchell? Was she abused as a child, then allowed her daughter to be abused?
In the book "Dancing in Hell" by Daniel West, there's a chapter titled "Making Her Case for Her: Both Sides Now - Joni Mitchell" where the narrator describes a young girl being molested by her uncle and the girl's mother allowing it to happen because she was also molested by the same relative. Scroll until you see the chapter title.

Again, the above is just what I've found significant according to my interpretations of the text and I'm not claiming to have read either of these books cover to cover, so feel free to add anything else you find and we'll see where it goes.

hi EC, interesting topic, but I'm not really seeing any clear connections to pizzagate, as defined in Rule 1 of the Submission Rules (found in the sidebar.) if you are able to find relevant info related to this topic, kindly reply to this message within 24 hours so that we can remove the flair; otherwise we'll have to delete it.
thanks, and keep digging!

Hi, Ben. I know this is obscure evidence, but I'm hoping more can be found besides the few excerpts I have taken from these two books, which I stumbled upon after seeing that Joni Mitchell was just at David Geffen's birthday party. I did a google search for 'Joni Mitchell molested' and this is where I found this info about Costello and Mitchell. I think there's more to find, and I'll be digging today to find more. Thanks for the additional time.

I read a long time ago that the song Coyote was about a ritual satanic abuse that happened in the desert. A coyote is, of course, someone who brings in illegal aliens from Mexico.

That's interesting, and would appreciate it if you could find a link. Some of his song lyrics do appear suspect.

Sorry, I confused Joni with Baez "Welcome Me"
Welcome me to The City of Angels Devil prophets still hold my hand I walked your stillborn streets for hours Ethnic echoes spitting out their trials They tell me I'll
I'll be the first to praise the sun The first to praise the moon The first to hold the lone coyote Last to set it free
Welcome me to a haven given Oh, it's well received into my open arms Oh, I, I ran in my sleep through shaking tremors I felt the splitting earth echoing in my ears And I feel it all
I'll be the first to praise the sun The first to praise the moon The first to hold the lone coyote The last to set it free
Welcome me to your City of Angels There's a Devil monkey laying on our backs Now tell me, where's the heart? Where's the bullet for breaking? Who's gonna give me a weapon, a pacifying weapon? An' I need it all
I'll be the first to praise the sun The first to praise the moon, oh The first to hold the lone coyote The last to set it free I said, I said, "Welcome me"
I'll be the first to praise the sun The first to praise the moon, oh The first to hold the lone coyote The last to set it free I said, "Welcome me"
