Performing in Los Angeles, the singer encouraged US citizens to ‘get out and vote’ – and played rarely heard political songs such as Dog Eat Dog

Joni Mitchell has made her voice heard in the upcoming US election, responding: “Fuck Donald Trump!” to an audience member who yelled an insult about the Republican presidential candidate.

“I love that song,” Mitchell continued – presumably a reference to the 2016 YG song FDT.

Performing her first headline concert in Los Angeles in 24 years on Saturday, Mitchell, 80, said: “Everybody get out and vote. This is an important one. I wish I could vote – I’m Canadian. I’m one of those lousy immigrants.”

      As a Canadian, I’m happy that Joni is there to encourage everyone … and as someone with many French Canadian family and friends … to my American republican neighbours ->

      “I wave my private parts at your aunties, you cheesy lot of second hand electric donkey bottom biters. Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!”

      … and to my American democratic neighbours ->

      “I’m French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly American?”

    Joni once let drop that all Janis Joplin and Grace Slick did was sleep with the band, get drunk and fall down.

    To which Grace responded…“I don’t remember falling down that much”
