Joan Baez 75th Birthday Event

[lordsummerisle]

(sorry if this is the wrong forum for this)
This isn't really new or anything since it was filmed several months ago but what a great lineup of talent. But after the second Dylan song I realized who was actually missing: Bob Dylan himself. I think it's fair to say they helped launch each others careers way back in the '60s before they broke up.

On the other hand if Dylan were present he would totally upstage the event, being the mega-star he is. Still, it would have been cool if he had unexpectedly wondered on stage for an appearance...

9. About fifteen years ago, the place I was working posted photos to help people learn names

I thought it sounded like a good idea, so I strolled by to learn a few names

There was some really old dude among all the young smiling faces

I thought I should be friendly and learn his name

It was me

10. I believe you

I went to this place where these ladies made really nice table cloths and table napkins. I pressed a bell and the door opened. I hadn't been there before - I saw this person and said good afternoon. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaah - I hadn't noticed the mirror - it was me

3. I saw a Joan show where she came out as Bob,

In his shirt and hat, shades the whole thing. Did a bunch of Bob songs then at the end Bob strolled out and played A few songs together.

Something about Joan that has stick with me forever. I read in a magazine interview about her and mentioned that killing a tick by burning it off her dog was where being non violent ended with her.

I've always referred to that and tried,and failed more times than I care to mention, to set that as my ideal.

13. Thank you for this post.

Joanie and I are two months apart in age, and I've been a fan of hers since day one. She is timeless.

15. Joan Baez is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

her soul, her appearance, etc.
I love her! We shall overcome!
But I was sad that with age she has lost more of her Wonderful voice than Judy Collins.
I hope she is alright.
I wish I could afford her concert in Santa Fe in October.
She is a monument to song, civil rights and justice!
And she has stayed forever young
