What a wonderful talented beautiful person Joan Baez is. She had been an inspiration to many in the world, and is well respected over the entire world. Her messages of peace, love, understanding and kindness have touched many...but I see from the comment below, they have not touched everyone. Ignorance can be a powerful tool.

That's sheer ignorance on your part, I'm afraid. Joan has spent virtually every part of her adult life exemplifying the words she speaks! Do some research...get real information before merely mouthing the talking points of an establishment bent on defaming those who speak truth to power. Joan went to jail for her beliefs, she has traveled the world giving of herself, her talent, her money in support of the vulnerable and oppressed. What's Hannity, Limbaugh, et al done lately but blow hot air?

she obviously cares for the soldiers far more than you

[urgdaddy]

She was a war protester,...and I agree the Vietnam War needed a quick ending.  Her music helped to send that message. Congress,..as usual does not listen to the people. I'm conservative and this another failure of govenment 'flucky' policies.

Has Obama yet ordered anyone to let her sing for his troops bound for Afghanistan

I see Joan with Cindy Sheehan. I see Cindy clutching a petrochemical bottle containing designer water. 10 minutes in ones hand, forever in a landfill, Joan sang.

Adnoydal, you just spread joy and sunshine! Thank God for difference...

Let's see...George Bush guarded Texas, Quail was on the line in Indiana...Gnigrich had a boil on his butt, Rush wimped out...all the warhawks were really chickens

[SHANE RICHMOND]

i really think shes a lovely lady very talented and a joy to listen and learn from... thanks Joan we love you..

Too much Joan wailing at a monotinous volume 11. The CIA prefers it over waterboarding.

Fortunately Obama and Michael Moore have promised to heal all cancers for free, by taxing the rich like themselves and Joan. You vote for Obama?

[Adnoydal]

Her voice causes cancer

I recall an Army officer I knew who played Joan Baez records when he returned from Vietnam. The Army would not let him play them on base. He just rented hotel rooms (with Army money) at private hotels. I forget the fellow's name. I met him when he was a ROTC instructor at the University of Georgia.

Amazing.
