Joni Mitchell's Brief but Powerful Trump Attack

Los Angeles, CA, USA,Tuesday, October 22, 2024

Legendary singer Joni Mitchell, 80, made a short but clear attack on Donald Trump during her comeback concert at the Hollywood Bowl. She performed with a rotating cast of musicians, including Brandi Carlile and Annie Lennox, after a long break due to health issues. Mitchell's setlist included old favorites like "Big Yellow Taxi" and a cover of Elton John's "I'm Still Standing. " When an audience member shouted against Trump, Mitchell replied, "‘F Donald Trump’, I love that song.

" She also joked about not being able to vote as a Canadian. This isn't the first time Trump has faced backlash from artists. Recently, Rufus Wainwright criticized Trump for using his cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" during a chaotic town hall. Mitchell's return to live performances is a significant event, considering she suffered a brain aneurysm in 2015.
