Al Dente Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Not likely. Jeez... I had no idea. It's sad to hear of such torment for a gentle soul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Dente Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Somewhere back in this thread I brought up Joni Mitchell. "Singer Joni Mitchell Hospitalized in Los Angeles" on wtop.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkstar965 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Sheesh. Hadn't heard of this before either but, between the very sad posts from last year and the most recent yesterday about the hospitalization, it sounds like she may have been (is?) recovering? The express article mentioned how she had to cancel on the 2010 Vancouver Olympics but then appeared for her 70th and released a new box set two years ago? Hope she'll be okay. Really a key part of the bedrock of modern American music. So reflective, thoughtful, calming yet, when appropriate for the moment or song, even delightfully combative and energized.

porcupine Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Music acts like a drug on the brain (or my brain, anyway), and due to a powerful association with a sad event I can longer listen to some of my favorite Joni Mitchell songs without going all maudlin and bawling my eyes out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
