Joni Mitchell lets rip at Donald Trump at rarity-laden US concert
Performing in Los Angeles, the singer encouraged US citizens to ‘get out and vote’ – and played rarely heard political songs such as Dog Eat Dog
Joni Mitchell has made her voice heard in the upcoming US election, responding: “Fuck Donald Trump!” to an audience member who yelled an insult about the Republican presidential candidate. At the self-styled “Joni Jam”, across two nights at the Hollywood Bowl, Mitchell performed with musicians including Brandi Carlile, Wendy & Lisa, Allison Russell, Robin Pecknold of Fleet Foxes, Marcus Mumford, Annie Lennox – on Ladies of the Canyon – Jacob Collier and Jon Batiste. She also gave newer songs their live debut, with If I Had a Heart, from 2007’s Shine, and The Sire of Sorrow, from 1994’s Turbulent Indigo: the former castigates “Holy war / Genocide / Suicide”, while the latter speaks of losing “all taste for life”.
