JONI MITCHELL Return of a LEGEND

NEARLY A DECADE AFTER A BRAIN ANEURYSM, THE BELOVED SINGER- SONGWRITER IS ENJOYING A CAREER REVIVAL

Early in her life, Joni Mitchell aspired to be both a performer and a painter.

Georgia O'Keeffe, the great artist, told her she couldn't do both. Joni insisted she could. "You just have to give up TV," she joked.

At 80, the Canadian-American singer-songwriter still paints, but it's her music that is having an unexpected moment. At the recent Grammy Awards, Joni reduced the audience to tears with her poignant performance of her 1969 hit "Both Sides Now."
