At nearly 70 ,Joan Baez is still at it singing for peace and justice! She marched with Dr.Martin Luther King in Selma ,Alabama when she was little more than a girl back in '63, and when doing so in" Sweet Home Alabama "COULD prove dangerous to your health! She DEFINITELY does not need the money or publicity,Ms. Baez continues to sing for these causes because she is one of the few humans in the music biz who really gives a damn .Que Dios te bendica por siempre,SENORA Baez!

People are to be valued and not a ground to be walked all over to get to where leaders decide to go, Joan is trying to remind us of this.... We should have the option to opt out or in.

To be fair,having "talent" doesn't mean you're actually intelligent or that your political views are anymore correct then an "untalented" person.Just being honest here.

[Christian121y]

Indeed.It's one thing to be authentically pacifist and "anti-war" but it's another to actively take the side of the enemy.
