She is resting comfortably in her own home and she's getting better each day. A full recovery is expected." http://jonimitchell.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think she'll have a relapse early next year. It sounds wildly optimistic. If they had said something like "It is a slow process but she hopes to make a full recovery" I would probably be more reassured than the everything is wonderful which suggest she might die next week.

This could be folk rock's Zsa Zsa unfolding in front of our eyes. What's conspicuous is the reliance on a long-term male friend and a lawyer, it's not like she's greatly surrounded by people who actually love her is it? There's also a fair amount of property and valuable copyrights at stake here. So, in the last case, she's nowt like Zsa Zsa, then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,645 Posted July 8, 2015 I can confirm the sad news that Joni Mitchell is dying and there is no longer any hope for her recovery Not wanting to piss on your parade or owt, but... That fact applies to the whole human race. Can you not be a bit more specific, like, do I pick her as my DDP joker next year, or summat? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted July 10, 2015 Private Eye mentioned that the University of Lincoln hosted an "International Symposium on Joni Mitchell" last week. Enthusiasts from far and wide came to present their papers... Oh Borderline’: 21st century Joni Mitchell and the ageing ‘ravaged’ voice as a site of Queer resistance (this won a place in PE's Pseud's Corner) Integrating the Work of Joni Mitchell in Psychotherapy. The early songs of Joni Mitchell and their impact on a child living on a 1960s English council estate in Lincolnshire. 'Here’s a man and a woman sitting on a rock’: Joni Mitchell and irritable feminism. Literate to the Literal: Joni Mitchell as a Comic Muse. It's a shame we didn't know about this beforehand as there was an open invitation to submit papers. I would have come up with: 'Put away that D.D.T. now': The relevance of Joni Mitchell's contemporary health when critically analysed from a deadpooling perspective 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, it's widely believed to be a psychological, rather than a physical illness and is also known as delusion of parasitosis. Either way it can be incredibly debilitating, but it is never fatal.
