Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  (CNN) Kua tukuna e tētahi hoa tawhito o Joni Mitchell tētahi tono ā-ture e whai ana kia whakaingoatia hei kaitiaki o te kaiwaiata me te kaituhi waiata. I kawea a Mitchell, i whakauruhia ki roto i te Rock and Roll Hall of Fame i te tau 1997, ki te UCLA Medical Center i te marama kua hipa i muri i tana kitenga i a ia e kore e mohio ana i roto i tona whare. Kei te noho tonu ia ki te hōhipera, e ai ki te petihana a Leslie Morris i tukuna ki te kooti i te 28 o Aperira. I whakaahuatia a Morris hei hoa o Mitchell neke atu i te 44 tau i roto i nga tuhinga ture. Ahakoa he mohio te kaiwaiata iwi me te kaiwaiata jazz, kei te noho tonu te raruraru. I roto i tana petihana o te Paenga-whāwhā 28, e mea ana a Morris kei te ngaro a Mitchell: "I tenei wa kei te ngaro tonu ia (Mitchell) kaore e taea te whakautu, na reira kaore e taea te whakarato i tetahi o ana hiahia whaiaro". Engari i runga i te paetukutuku a Mitchell, he korero i whakairihia i taua ra ano e kii ana i whakaaetia e Morris e kii ana kei te mataara a Mitchell. "I runga anō i ngā kōrero e rere ana i runga i te Ipurangi i ēnei rā, kāore a Joni i roto i te kōma. Kei roto tonu a Joni i te hōhipera -- engari kei te mārama ia, kei te mataara ia, ā, kei a ia tonu ōna whakaaro. E tūmanakohia ana kia ora katoa. Ko te tuhinga i whiwhihia e tētahi pāpāho, ka hoatu noa iho ki tana hoa tawhito a Leslie Morris te mana - i te kore o te tiaki tākuta 24 haora - ki te whakatau i te tiaki mo Joni ina wehe atu ia i te hōhipera". I a ia e ui ana mo te rereketanga i waenga i nga korero mo te hauora o Mitchell i runga i tana paetukutuku me te tuhinga a te ture, ka whakautu tana kaikorero, a Alisse Kingsley, "ko te paetukutuku" he tika. E ai ki te whakapuakitanga a te taote e kore e taea e Mitchell, nā tōna āhua hauora, te haere ki ngā whakawātea ā-ture mō ngā marama e whā ki te ono e whai ake nei. E tuku ana ngā kaiwhaiwhai i ō rātou mihi ki a Mitchell i WeLoveYouJoni.com. I whai wāhi atu a Sonya Hamasaki rāua ko Cheri Mossburg ki tēnei pūrongo.
Kei te hōhipera tonu te kaiwaiata me te kaituhi waiata a Joni Mitchell. E hiahia ana tōna hoa o mua a Leslie Morris kia tohua hei kaitiaki mo ia.
