i just heard her cover version of "500 miles" and rediscovered her sublime-ness.

what does this singer mean to you??

for those who are 40+............. what did she mean to you in the 60ies nd 70ies??

does anyone know of a song where she goes "tat-tarara"... about a woman who's bf was serving in vietnam....i have been searching that song for a long time now.

which are your fav joa baez songs??

i heard she still performs... would it be possible to see her in say 2 years time??

Take my hand, my child of love
Come step inside my tears
Swim the magic ocean,
I've been crying all these years

    i like pearl jam.

    PS: The only thing I like of Joan Baez is when she did With God On Our Side with Dylan

    PPS I'm 21 so I guess I can't post here

    i meantioned 40+ (make that 50+).. to get a few opinions of people who grew up in the years when joan baez was the voice of her generarion.

    locked... yes.. may be i should have made this thread in the AET forum.

    I don't know, she's a good singer but she always (to me atleast) annoys me when she's performing with Dylan, their voices just don't go together.

    And yes, she does still perform. The last I heard she was doing was she was performing when they executed Tookie Williams a few weeks back

    she was ok. her biggest hit was a cover of The Band's "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" .. i prefer The Band's version.
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green
