[earlyrisersteph]

Good God! Beautiful

[mariadelamor21]

@earlyrisersteph Thank you so much!!

[turdy3birdy]

I think Joan would rather have a woman anyway!

[unclewalt56]

why didn't baez marry dylan? he said in one of his documentaries that he was in love with her and she ended up marrying that protester guy, but it seems like she would have married bob. what a cute couple they were when they were together.

@unclewalt56 Love is always mysterious.

@unclewalt56

The one that left the relationship was Bob, not Joan. I saw her very recently (Nov 2010) and she was very gracious and forthcoming about their relationship, and no longer bitter the way she was even unto the late 70's when she wrote Diamonds and Rust, They were both so young when they fell in love, you know? There are not many among us (and I am 50) that are with the person we loved at 20.

@unclewalt56 Dylan fell in love with and married Sara Lownds; he abandoned Joan for Sara. Dylan wrote Sara and Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands for/about Sara. Joan wrote Diamonds and Rust about her and Bob's relationship and followed up with a more up-to-date version: 'If you're offering me diamonds and rust, I'll take the diamonds'! Etc, etc. Forgive me for going on if you already know all this!

Как и 40 лет назад : "Пой, певец!!!!!".

Спасибо, преклонение и низкий поклон...

@melvinseatsoup I don't care for Springsteen's interpretation of a lot of those songs. I think the changes he introduces are part of what is called "the folk process." Just like the words of this song were shaped by the folk process.

"Destroyer of good music"?? No. By singing old music, he's doing more for the preservation of folk music than any stylistic changes he introduces. Folk music is not a collection of museum pieces, its a living landscape of people making music.

"you've got to go down and join the union by yourself" old IWW version

[edgeyp12]

Long live the IWW!

[neverindoubt]

When you hear Joanie's voice, shivers up the spine. And Pete at his best.

Они - вечны.

Они - поют.

Они, Джоан и Пит - с нами.

И время...не властно.

Они - рядом с нами.

Всегда.

Baez used to sing this song concerts as she collected draft cards to send back to Nixon.
