of hers since FOREVER! Bought her albums first, then cassettes and now DVD's. I even went to several concerts, one that she and Bob Dylan showcased. Dyan is truly one of the Greatest Ever, but he was never into politics or protesting despite Baez's pleas! And, at the concert I attended with both of them... she upstaged him that night, IMHO! Super concert nevertheless!
As Boomers, we had some of the VERY, VERY, VERY BEST music! But the singer who's had my heart forever is JACKSON BROWNE! Just bought his new CD Standing In The Breach. My kids tell me I should just download instead of buying CD's, but I like to have the CD!
And he's still writing his protest songs along with other GREAT music! So glad I was fortunate enough to see all the concerts way back when. My generation was one that will always be remembered as one of the greatest, and to have seen so many performers in their prime made for some heady times! We came together, marched and believed we could make a difference. And no matter what history will say, I DO BELIEVE WE DID!
Keep On Singin' Joan Baez, your voice and activism makes me proud!
