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.
“I love that song,” Mitchell continued – presumably a reference to the 2016 YG song FDT.
Performing her first headline concert in Los Angeles in 24 years on Saturday, Mitchell, 80, said: “Everybody get out and vote. This is an important one. I wish I could vote – I’m Canadian. I’m one of those lousy immigrants.”
As a Canadian, I’m happy that Joni is there to encourage everyone … and as someone with many French Canadian family and friends … to my American republican neighbours ->
“I wave my private parts at your aunties, you cheesy lot of second hand electric donkey bottom biters. Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!”
… and to my American democratic neighbours ->
“I’m French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly American?”
