...If the document filed by Miss Morris paints an uncertain picture of Joni Mitchell’s future, it also hints at the tormented private life of the gravelly-voiced singer, who in her glory years had flings with the Hollywood lothario Warren Beatty and the musician James Taylor, partied with The Beatles and the Rolling Stones and saw her albums, with their confiding, confessional lyrics, go platinum.
Mitchell’s latest medical crisis is just one in a long line of threats to her health. An only child, she was just nine years old when she contracted polio. She defied doctors’ predictions that she would never walk again, recovering after treatment in a children’s hospital, where she sang at the top of her lungs, despite having already started smoking cigarettes — which became a lifelong addiction.
Although she has complained of poor health for decades, it wasn’t until 2010 that Mitchell first said she was suffering from Morgellons, a rare condition widely thought by doctors to be delusional, in which victims believe they are infested with disease-causing fibres and parasites. It was identified only in 2002 by a Pennsylvanian lab technician.
‘I have this weird, incurable disease that sounds like it’s from outer space,’ the singer declared.

“Mark: “ Conservatives give in too easily to us. If a left winger is pestering you, just punch him in the mouth. He will wipe off the blood, and say “ maybe you DO have a point there! “”
Hit the lib over the nose with a newspaper and they go right back under the porch, whining. Just like Reagan did to the Soviets.
You would think for this re-union she would have at least washed her hair...stunning she did not.
So I went to her twitter site....oh my gosh what a dirty mouth as well, and writes so incoherent it's also stunning.
She admitted in her book she was high while doing Empire strikes back...but appears to have been doing drugs since 13 yrs. old. So she's simply fried her brains
Here she is last year
After weight loss
Man you talk about aging badly, poor Carrie.
I almost did not recognize her, the drugs, etc., have taken their toll.
I remember when Joni looked great and was a babe and a half. Boy we are all getting old.
You do know she is 71 years old?
Yep....a lifetime of doing drugs will do that. Even when they clean her up a bit she still looks bad...and you really don’t want to hear anything she says when she opens her mouth. She unfortunately trashed her life.
“...Well then , simply don’t pass gas !...”
Miss Katy... There’s just certain things a Man MUST do.
If something itches, it WILL be scratched... whenever, wherever...
If “it” needs to be adjusted, “it” WILL be adjusted...
If rumbling from deep within occurs, it WILL be released dunto the world... even in a crowded elevator... (you just look at the guy next to you and go “Whoa... Dude!” and then get out quick...)
These are some of the Unwritten Rules of Man-ness...
Sorry, but we have NO choice it’s ...
wait for it...
Here it comes...
MAN-datory.

Yes, real good for free is excellent, as is her Miles of Aisles Album. Saw her perform at Lenox MA in the early 80’s and it was excellent.
As with most entertainers, she was a devout Leftist, I expect that and only hope when they perform they don’t preach, like Santana and Neil Young now do.
Never knew that she also dated Nash, and I think introduced him to CSNY
Shades of Ian Fleming and "Dr No": Chinese negroes.
That was the point. I remember her from my youth.
Yes always a strange lady, I think, but a true original musically.
But "gravelly-voiced" which is what this idiot calls her?
Maybe "flute-like" or pure-voiced, something.
Hard to think of a pop singer with a lighter, finer range.
Maybe at one point, but the years of heavy smoking have taken their toll on her voice.
I still rate “Court and Spark” as one of the best albums of all time. Joni’s album “Hejira” was another one I liked. I was hanging out with some metal heads in my younger days and one of Joni’s songs came on the radio, I thought they were all going to die, lol.
"I've gone off to find myself. If I should come back before I return, please keep me here until I get home."
Yeah. Like Tom Rush.
You want veal ?
The best

As for Joni, she blew her wad with “Hissing of Smmer Lawns” Should have quit then. I’ll bet 1,ooo apple farmers would like to terminate her services (DDT psycho)
Yep, and too few of us do it.
Just saw an interview with CSN (no Young).
They said that Joni's LA house was where the best parties were. The 3 of them were invited to one and then she suggested that they all sing around the piano. The rest is music history...
