Pretty cool.<br /><br />Yes, nice that her son is playing with her, am.<br /><br />Great you're exposing your grandkids to real music and real songs, Karin! And songs with a political and idealistic import too.<br /><br />Potent songs, indeed — as you say, Ruth.The Solitary Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11284354541952038339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-21381987229133206032012-03-22T14:16:16.493+00:002012-03-22T14:16:16.493+00:00Funny how somethings seem to just keep cropping up...Funny how somethings seem to just keep cropping up in my life again. Baez was probably my first musical "hero", way back when ever! Spent time singing along to some of her tracks on Youtube with one of the grandbabies yesterday, trying to make sure her ears grow accoustomed to real voices, real lyrics and real harmony, musical as well as life! SO would have love to have seen her.

I love that Baez's message has not changed, and it is timeless in any case. What has changed, really, except for ourselves?Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-25242383529209493572012-03-22T09:58:45.754+00:002012-03-22T09:58:45.754+00:00You lucky thing Robert - she is one of my favourit...You lucky thing Robert - she is one of my favourites and has never lost her appeal.

I've always wanted music to make more noise (punk, I thought, was great).Dominic Rivronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02618013365521035400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-78446847553547920342012-03-21T21:55:45.978+00:002012-03-21T21:55:45.978+00:00Last time I saw a couch and a lamp on stage, I thi...Last time I saw a couch and a lamp on stage, I think, was the director John Waters a couple of decades ago.

Sweet to see the couch, lamp and little table with flowers on the stage with her. Just in the last few days, the words of "There But For Fortune" were playing in my mind.amhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09212213177713917828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-17335735095325686912012-03-21T21:28:31.070+00:002012-03-21T21:28:31.070+00:00Thanks for this post, Robert.

As I witness right-wing conservatives in my country support what is essentially social Darwinism, it's nice to be reminded that there are still voices of empathy among us.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03959953035812596907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-77266219878617051292012-03-21T21:12:18.843+00:002012-03-21T21:12:18.843+00:00The late 60's may have been tumultuous but at ...The late 60's may have been tumultuous but at least stuff could happen in those days and it seemed like people cared more than they do today.
