Legendary singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell was rushed to the hospital on Tuesday after falling ill at her L.A. home.I think that the first album I ever bought on my own was Joni Mitchell's "Clouds." She has always been one of my favorite artists, with a totally unique vocal and guitar style. Of course, her politics are atrocious, and she's crazy as bedbug, but that sort of goes with the job description.
The Canadian musician’s official Twitter account confirmed Mitchell’s hospitalization. Two hours later, JoniMitchell.com tweeted “Joni is currently in intensive care in an LA area hospital but is awake and in good spirits. More updates to come as we hear them.”
According to TMZ, paramedics hurried to the singer’s Bel Air residence after receiving a 911 call. She was reportedly alert on the way to the hospital.
My favorite Joni song, from her second album, "Song to a Seagull":
Best wishes, Joni.
