SOUNDBITE (English) Joni Mitchell/Recording Artist: It's like high school prom. • Reporter: Do you just mingle with everyone and see what's going on? • Joni Mitchell: Sometimes yes. We are mostly seated and fixed for most of it but... • Reporter: Do you wait for everyone to come up to you? • Joni Mitchell: No, but they do anyway. • Reporter: Who are you rooting for the Grammys tomorrow? • Joni Mitchell: Oh I don't even know. I'm sort of out of it. I don't know who's running even. So good luck to them all. I don't think there should be winners or losers in music anyway really. • ++FILE++ • AP Entertainment • New York, 6 April 2000 • 3. Joni Mitchell speaking to reporters • 4. Mitchell speaking • 5. Mitchell on stage • SINGER JONI MITCHELL IN INTENSIVE CARE, ILLNESS UNKNOWN • Joni Mitchell was in intensive care in a Los Angeles-area hospital on Tuesday (31 MARCH 2015), according to the Twitter account and website of the folk singer and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer. • Joni was found unconscious in her home this afternoon, said a statement on the Mitchell website. She is currently in intensive care undergoing tests and is awake and in good spirits. • It wasn't immediately clear what illness she had. • Los Angeles fire officials said paramedics answered an afternoon 911 call in Bel Air, where Mitchell lives, and took a patient to the hospital. But they could not verify her identity or give details on her condition. • The 71-year-old singer-songwriter told Billboard magazine in December that she has a rare skin condition, Morgellons disease, which prevents her from performing. Still, she released a career-spanning four-disc box set last year and appeared at Clive Davis' annual pre-Grammy party in February. • Mitchell has received eight Grammy Awards, including a lifetime achievement award in 2002. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. • She started her career as a street musician in her native Canada before moving to Southern California, where she became part of the flourishing folk scene in the late 1960s. Her second album, Clouds, was a breakthrough with such songs as Both Sides Now and Chelsea Morning, winning Mitchell the Grammy for best folk performance. Her 1970 album, Ladies of the Canyon, featured the hit single Big Yellow Taxi and the era-defining Woodstock. The following year, she released Blue, which ranks 30th on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. • Mitchell has released 19 original albums, the most recent in 2007. The anthology released last year, Love Has Many Faces: A Quartet, A Ballet, Waiting to Be Danced, features remastered versions of 53 of her songs. • Her musical style integrates folk and jazz elements, and she counts jazz giants Charles Mingus and Pat Metheny among her past collaborators. • As with music, Mitchell taught herself painting as a child and has produced hundreds of works in ink, watercolor and acrylic. • • Find out more about AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/HowWeWork • Twitter: / ap_archive • Facebook: / aparchives • Instagram: / apnews • • • You can license this story through AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/metadata/you...
